Being Happiness Workshop, Sacred Kirtan, Sacred Embodiment Dance Journey + Yoga Nidra with Jordan Loder

Being Happiness Evening Workshop (5:30 pm – 6:30 pm):

In this 60-minute workshop, participants will explore the essence of what it means to be truly human. Exploring the golden thread of all religions and scientific thought, we will zero in on the core components of human life and how to successfully navigate this world in a passionate, loving way—fully empowering us to lead a life of loving service to others.

Jordan Loder’s kirtan sessions are genuinely moving community experiences, focusing on gratitude, forgiveness, and the Divine Mother. Attendees often experience laughter, deep cleansing tears, and an organic sense of interpersonal (and universal) connectedness. Though the sessions go very deep into the heart, the approach is perfectly balanced by lighthearted authenticity— making them accessible to total beginners and lifelong bhaktas alike. Participants pray for those who have departed this world, those yet to come, our Mother, our Father, our inner child, and one another. The music incorporates ancient Buddhist and Sanskrit mantras, interwoven with illuminating stories and insights from the spiritual path.

This powerful Dance Journey offers a rich opportunity to move the body through space on a journey through the cosmos. The sonic landscape weaves indigenous rhythms from around the world, sounds of nature, sacred elements, classical, jazz, and occasional nods to classic rock and roll—sprinkled with spoken word samples from spiritual greats to infuse every step with intention and joy. Sessions are drug- and alcohol-free, fostering safety, connection, and release. At the conclusion, participants lie down in a comfortable resting position for a 15-minute guided Sound Bath & Yoga Nidra meditation. Healing sounds wash over the body while a soothing voice guides deep relaxation, releasing tension and integrating the experience—leaving the mind calm, happy, and renewed.

The full retreat (all 3 events) includes time for fan connections, photos, and community mingling throughout the evening.

All levels welcome—no experience needed. Attend the full bundle - all three events (workshop + kirtan + dance journey/yoga nidra), any two events, or just one—choose what calls to you!
