Bhakti, Sound and Soma Thursdays

A community where sound and voice are explored as embodied practices for presence, connection, and somatic awareness.
Meets Thursdays at 7:30pm, Awakenings Wellness center, SE Portland

Because sound is not just something we listen to.
It is a pathway — a bridge — into higher consciousness.

In many sacred traditions, sound is the original vibration, the pulse from which all creation emerged. When we work with sound consciously — through mantra, humming, rāga, breath, intuitive voice, or silence — we begin to access states of awareness that are clearer, quieter, and more connected than the thinking mind.

And our voice…
Our voice is not merely an instrument.
It is a portal.

A portal into our emotions.
A portal into our nervous system.
A portal into memory, intuition, and inner knowing.
A portal into the deeper intelligence of who we truly are.

When we free the voice, we free the self.
When we sing together, we lift not only our own consciousness, but the consciousness of the collective field.

That is the heart behind these Thursday nights.

  • Kirtan, Meditation & Community singing-1st and 3rd Thursdays

    A devotional, joy-filled, community-centered evening of mantra, meditation, rhythmic singing, and heart-opening expression.
    We move between stillness and ecstatic chant, letting the voice become a pathway into unity, connection, and elevated consciousness.

    Children who enjoy singing, rhythm and are ok with quiet moments during meditation are welcome to join under caregiver supervision.
