JAKOB WEISE
Chanting - Back to the Source
Saturday 10:30 am - 11:30 am
Chanting of ancient mantras
Taught in English
Suitable for all levels
Immerse yourself in Sanskrit and Hindi prayers and the practice of kirtan, a call-and-response chanting of ancient mantras. Through the repetition of the divine names, we are able to still the mind and slowly uncover our true state of knowingness, letting us see and be with all there is in a more non-reactionary way. Chanting is a meditation technique that helps us reconnect with the inner silence, bringing us back to the source; the infinite state of our true Self.
Jakob is sharing his personal practice with you and will be doing call-and-response chanting (kirtan), with the opportunity for your voice to co-create the moment, as well as some of his favourite invocations and prayers.
About Jakob Weise:
Jakob’s entire life has revolved around music. Since before his teenage years he has been performing professionally. He has released several albums, toured intensively and topped the charts within the pop industry as both a producer and a songwriter and with his band The Loft.
Yoga and meditation has been an integral part of his life parallel to his music for more than a decade. Within recent time his practice took a powerful shift and it became evident for him that he had to pause his involvement in the music business in order to fully deepen his practice of chanting and meditation on his own journey of self-discovery.
Jakob is currently working on new recordings of some of his favourite chants and mantras which will be available later this year.
