Singing Sangha
Taking Refuge: A Heart to Heart Communion

PLEASE NOTE: Due to Maniko's extended sabbatical this year, there is only one Singing Sangha taking place in Nevada City, CA and is a 10 day intensive retreat combining the more meditative practices of the Soul Sanctuary with the Singing Sangha on June 13-22, 2008

Singing Sangha is a musical refuge and sanctuary to strengthen and nourish the flow of love, consciousness and compassion in every aspect of your life. The human voice is intimately connected to the very essence of our soulfulness—not just the individual soul, but to the timeless dimensions of the universal soul as well. We enter into communion at the deepest level, to bring a great force of love, remembrance and meditative awareness into the expression of your life and to empower you through meditation, awareness and song to share these blessings with others.

We use traditional chants and mantras as well as create new songs from our own experiences on the path and the Truth of our Heart's devotion. Both forms allow us to embody and strengthen our connection with the divine in our every day lives. This is an opportunity to venture deep into the very heart of the Buddhafield, soul-singing, song-making, ritual invocations and mystical practices and receive individual coaching and group support. Singing Sangha Intensives are a closed, on-going 8 week series that takes place in the spring & fall and finishes with a community meditation to share your songs and the silences of your heart with others.

These are seasonal Meditation Retreats taking place on the Solstices. The Song Silence and Soul Sanctuary is an elegant journey and grace-filled meeting with the depth and beauty of your own soul. Through the meditation and song cycles we create a rich field of "Yes" to all that we are. This allows us to open naturally to the flow of love that so nourishes us. In these retreats you will also experience Essential Soul Constellations - a new modality of Constellation work that Maniko has been developing since 2001. Essential Soul Constellation is a vehicle to awaken, embrace and fully step into the truth of your inner wholeness.

Soul Sanctuaries are held in silence except during group processes, singing, inquiry and song making. We work in a meditation cycle of silence and stillness, free movement and dance, along with voice movement meditations, chanting, toning, song making, writing and ritual invocations. The meeting of silence, movement and song is profoundly healing and transformative. It cleanses, clears and renews, inspiring us from the inside out - giving us the strength, creativity and aliveness that flourishes with belonging to and connection with your essential nature.
