Summer 2021, Hacienda Guru Ram Das Ashram, New Mexico, Farmer’s Market, Sebastopol, California, Book & Booth Sales at G-Goddess Festival, Mt. Shasta, California (July 24-25) and Sirens Festival, Sebastopol, California (August 7-8)

What a blast we had at these festivals and markets where people gather to come together and share their talents! Atma Chanan sold out of her books, signing them individually to the women who participated. So much support and nurturance between us, learning about our feminine roots, coming together in Mary Magdalene priestess rituals and loving our unique cultures, languages and contributions. Priestess Graell did an awesome job as usual combining Kundalini Yoga and Meditation with her priestess ancient arts, and how exciting to dance with Cleopatra, the show snake for the Sirens’ Festival, where women showed their belly dancing skills.

Previous Event:

Japji Sahib Course in Española Ashram, New Mexico, October 2020-June 2021.

We gathered weekly to discuss the meaning of each of the 38 stanzas, Mul Mantra and Shalok of the Japji Sahib, the Song of the Soul, given to us by the consciousness of Guru Nanak incarnated in India in the 1600s. We explored words in Gurmukhi, sounds and meaning of letters, and the benefits of the stanzas as taught by Yogi Bhajan, the Kundalini yogi who brought Kundalini Yoga and Meditation, along with Sikh Dharma to the West in 1969. Guru Nanak was a poet and a singer so that his message could reach everyone’s heart, that’s how great teachers like Buddha, Jesus, Mary Magdalene and other yoguinis taught about the soul and heart. the Japji is a beautiful song that stands as the first fifty pages of the Siri Guru Granth Sahib, the sacred scripture of Sikhs, a religion that has over 30 million followers in the world and is guided by the principle of EK ONG KAR, We are all One. Like all spiritual traditions it has a shamanic root and a feminine root, that stands out for its communion with nature and we’re all brothers and sisters, the sacred masculine and the sacred feminine guiding our belief systems and actions.

Testimonials

“Atma Chanan has a lot of experience in facilitating, so the course flowed smoothly, in the frequency of the neutral mind. She is patient and has good deep listening skills.”

“Thanks Atma Chanan for bringing us together for this beautiful experience. Each week I look forward to our class. I highly recommend the Japji series taught by her. She provides much knowledge, interesting story-telling, meditation, group sharing, and well-rounded teaching skills that are open, relaxed and expansive. She’s effective in focusing the group energy to invoke a deeper understanding of Japji in an open and relaxed way.”

“Japji with Atma Chanan has been a very enriching experience with dynamic enlightening discussion about each pauree as well as eleven repetitions before we got into our group discussion. She brought priceless stories and deep meditation. I experienced much growth and it was very enjoyable.”

“This course gave me hope and inspiration at a very difficult time in my life. Atma Chanan has a relax teaching style that encourages participation. I highly recommend her.”
