This retreat focuses on using the tools of sacred chant, Kundalini Yoga and community to prepare for the transition to the Aquarian Age.

Snatam Kaur is one of the most popular New Age artists of our time, selling over 70,000 albums a year. Snatam Kaur’s albums have topped New Age Billboard and New Age Retailer’s charts repeatedly.

Snatam Kaur, whose father was a manager for the Grateful Dead, has an amazing ability to transform traditional chants into a contemporary sound that awakens an ancient yearning in the soul. Sacred Sounds Radio calls her music “spiritually uplifting and deeply soul cleansing.” Ram Dass, celebrated author of Be Here Now, says that “in Snatam’s voice...there is purity, clarity, and love.”

You’ll find enthusiastic press about Snatam’s music everywhere from the Houston Chronicle to the Hindustan Times. Traveling the globe with her musical partner, GuruGanesha Singh, her concerts are beloved for their stunning beauty and the depth of experience they offer.
