Kadambari Ravi & Jay Weinstein - July 2015
The Sacred India Gallery hosted special guests from Mumbai in July. Jay Weinstein has a background in media and production, and he is a photographer who regularly traverses the land of India on field projects. His partner, Kadambari Ravi, is a Yoga and Meditation Coach from The Yoga House in Mumbai.
During their two week stay in Perth, Kadambari and Jay participated in events at various venues focusing on meditation, mantra music, and the sights and sounds of spiritual India.
We are very grateful to everyone who turned up and helped make these events a big success, and a special mention must go to the following people who went out of their way to help make it all possible: Veronica (The Lotus Room Yoga Studio), Chinmaya (Beacon Yoga Centre), and Val (Sabare Health).
Kirtan with Madhava 2015
International kirtan artist Madhava joined us Feb 27-Mar 2 for a long weekend of fantastic events. We started with a mystical twilight experience in the Sunken Garden at UWA. Then for the Saturday evening we were hosted at the Fremantle Yoga Centre for a wonderful night of kirtan. Madhava brought the crowd to life at the Japanese Garden Theatre on Sunday, and we finished the long weekend with a heart-touching evening at Kalamunda Hare Krishna Temple.
A big thanks to everyone who came along and helped make the events such a huge success. Madhava has been touring Australia regularly for the past 5 years, but he said the events in Perth this year were the best kirtan programs he's experienced anywhere in Australia. He's looking forward to returning again in 2016.
Watch this space for info on other kirtan events coming up later in the year!
