Expanded Consciousness with Simultaneous Rhythms with Chuck Cogliandro
4:30 pm
Using the voice, handclaps, percussion tubes, and stepping, you will be part of the creation of a group experience of multiple simultaneous rhythms that will provide an opportunity to relax and join the deep universal rhythm that always carries you. To play one rhythm while singing another cultivates subtle fields in the brain and the environment that foster dynamic stillness and the opening of the heart. www.kumandi.com

Chakra Vocal Toning with the ISTA Angels
10:30 am
Experience the powerful technique of Chakra Vocal Toning to resonate and balance your chakras. Vowels carry the “information energy” of speech, whereas consonants act to modulate or break up the energy flow. Explore the harmonics naturally present in the vowels associated with the chakras, and the power they carry when combined with intention and focus. Learn how to adopt Chakra Vocal Toning into your everyday practice to create calm and focus in your life. www.istasounds.org

Mantras on the Mat with Karen Dorfman & Ian Boccio
12:00 pm
Join Karen and Ian for a unique yoga experience! Mantras on the Mat is a combination of asana and mantra practices. Karen leads the class through fluid Vinyasa sequences, breathwork and restorative poses. Ian provides live music and leads the group in chanting simple mantras during the class. The core of this experience is how the poses and the mantras are specifically arranged to complement one another, creating a great expansion of energy. Bring your mat! www.fireflymassagestudio.com , www.mantrachant.com

Monkey Chant with Grady Cousins
1:15 pm
The foundation of the workshop is inspired largely by the vocal interlocking rhythms of Balinese Kechak (known as Monkey Chant to most Westerners). The workshop is about Vocal Rhythmic Interplay and the Body as Generator of the Voice through Breath. It is about Holding Ones Own Voice Strongly while Interlocking with the Voices of Others in Community. It is about releasing ones Voice and Body into greater freedom and expression. Expect laughter and improvisational voice exploration as well.

Shamanic Dance with Muse For Life
2:30 pm
Activate the space for deep wisdom as we travel through the multiverse of being with sacred music and movement. Dive deep and ground ~expand and fly~ while harmonically paired instrumentation and movement guide you into the nectar of soul. www.museforlife.com

Sonic Yoga with Maha Devi, Chandika & the Kashi Kirtanwallas
3:45 pm
Sonic Yoga is a dynamic and energetic practice set to the soul-stirring sounds of live kirtan, to help you deepen your practice as we playfully find our inner rhythm. Kirtan is from the bhakti path of yoga. It can open the heart and lift you up. When it is combined with yoga poses, it’s rich, deep, inspiring and fun. This is a mixed level class that could challenge your edge. To ensure you have the best time, please have at least six months experience of a consistent yoga practice. www.kashiatlanta.org

Sacred Harp Singing
5:00 pm
Sacred Harp, also known as Shape Note music, is a joyous 200-year-old, uniquely American style of hymn singing. We sing not for performance, but for joy and we encourage you to participate regardless of whether you think you are a good singer or not, but if you prefer, you can just listen. Appealing to all, Sacred Harp singing has been interdenominational since it began. We will offer a brief introduction to Sacred Harp singing to cover the basics and then... Singing! www.atlantasacredharp.org

ChantLanta Goes Green!

We’re excited to announce that 2016 is the year that ChantLanta is going green! Our intention is to strengthen the connection between yoga practice and environmental stewardship.

The first of yoga’s eight limbs is the yamas, which offer direction on living daily life. One of these is ahimsa (nonviolence). Stewardship for the environment can be seen as a facet of ahimsa—a way that we can be less harmful towards the planet.

We’ve identified several ways in which we can reduce the environmental impact of this event. To this end, you’ll see some changes at ChantLanta 2016:

~ The Church at Ponce & Highland now has water fountains with filtered water. We encourage you to bring your own water bottle; we will also offer water bottles at the ChantLanta merch table. We will not have any plastic cups or bottled water.

You can also bring a reusable mug for beverages from the vendors! Or a spoon or fork, rather than using a disposable utensil.

~ We’re composting! All food and compostable trash will be picked up and used by Compost Wheels (also a sponsor this year). Look for bins marked specifically for compost. All food trash can go in!

~ We’re recycling! Look for bins marked specifically for recycling, and be sure that what you add is on the list of acceptable materials (on the sign). For example, taking a moment to quickly rinse a glass bottle makes the difference between making it acceptable in the bin or not.

If you have questions or want suggestions, please contact Stephanie Kohler:stephanie@chantlanta.org.

Thanks for your support towards our community being greener and kinder! Look forward to seeing y’all very soon.
