Heart of Sound, Kilauea, HI (2025)

11/23/2025

Nov 28 Wilson’s Creek Chant Leader Playshop and Rāga Based Kīrtan Jam event CLOSES on Tuesday, so if you or anyone you know is planning to join they need to be booked in by then.

🤔Why have a deadline in a place famous for last minute decision-makers?
❤️‍🔥TO HONOR THE POTENTIAL!❤️‍🔥

I always have deadlines for my workshops. As a teacher and musician for 3 decades, I have learned that the potential of a chant experience is only reached when there is a group energy full of committed, keen body of students.

Entering the Heart of Sound calls for something deeper than a casual entertainment/dance chant music event.

YOU and your body/heart/mind/soul instrument are as important as me (the leader) and you need to be wanting the profound communion and lasting empowerment that is the true invitation.

A few last minute joiner are OK, but the core group needs to be aligned with the purpose of our meeting in advance.

All of the key kīrtan and chant organizers in the Byron Bay community are talking about it and nudging you to go!

Lock in your YES and you will be rewarded with the resonance of your choice.

See you Friday Nov 28 at 3pm!

ANOTHER student yesterday was sharing HER OWN version of this… a profound experience of the deep, intimate power of mantra therapy.

They have struggled with trauma (me too!) and a host of difficult mental health issues on their healing path.

But they’ve been in the 200HR TT for 9 months and have been cultivating a deep relationship with mantra, letting it embrace the not-so-pretty parts, and 😍 wow! That just MELTS in the glow of the heart of the sound. It’s so wonderful.

It takes intention. Action. Diligent, regular self-practice. Reverence and skill (not dull, fuzzy, superficial, idealistic, disconnected relationship with mantra). But when you have that combo, the sound healing is INEVITABLE.

🤩I love my job!!!!🤩

Are you ready for…⁠
An endless cascade of “a-ha” moments?⁠
Self-nourishment through the pleasure of vibration?⁠
Deep digestion of your most challenging life lessons?⁠
Coherent resonance between your heart, mind, word & deed?⁠
Acceleration of your life’s purpose pulsing from deep within you?⁠

Anandra is so funny… 😄

“What is so fun about learning about mantra and, nāda yoga (sound yoga) with Anandra is that she’s so funny.

She’s just cracking these jokes all the time, and she’s keeping it real.

She’s not like a fake spiritual guru type at all.

She’s herself. Very often she starts the teacher training kind of like just telling the joke or you know, making sure that people are there. They can be themselves. They don’t have to try to pretend that they are anyone else.

She’s making people feel very comfortable in the in the learning environments and situations.”

– Hanna from Finland
Yoga and Pilates teacher trainer, physical therapist

Sacred sound = integrity between heart, mind, word & deed!

Would you call yourself a sober, recovered alcoholic if you were still drinking 5 beers every day? No, of course not.

Have you heard mantra & kīrtan and sound healings being called “sacred sound” when the leader had a disconnect between heart/mind/word/deed?

How did that feel to you?
How did it sound?

💓 Let’s keep sacred sound sacred and not call it that unless the mantra and nāda yoga is aligned and attuned at all the layers.💓

That means all of this is aligned when you chant a mantra:
- Listening in to the spacious silence behind the sound
- Heart pulse of yearning to connect (aka Bhakti, devotion), or celebration of fullness in connection (non-dual Tantrik bhakti)
- Intention of mind attuned to the sound medicine of each syllable, and its meaning
- Embodiment of precise, clear, nuanced articulation of each syllable into audible sound
- In daily life, say what you mean, mean what you say, do what you say you’re gonna do! 🤩

Sound like a high bar? YES! 🥰
⁠
The Heart of Sound training starts where even the most ecstatic kīrtan concerts end... grounding the power of sound into your daily presence, your sense of connection to Source and Life all around you. ⁠
⁠
Potent Sanskrit mantra refinement and nāda yoga skills, rāga-based musical development that support a lifetime of communion with sound = love = the Divine. ⁠

“I’ve just finished the Heart of Sound training with Anandra, and I would highly recommend it for—oh gosh—immeasurable reasons. It’s such a personal journey of growth. Every morning, getting up and doing the mantras, learning Sanskrit, and connecting inwardly in each and every class.

You’re getting that beautiful internal transformation, but at the same time, there’s this external influence of education, which has been all very new to me. I feel like I’ve got it—I’ve got enough to be able to step out into the world and share the beauty of kīrtan and chanting with other people in my community. So thank you, Anandra.” - Kath
