Experience an auspicious inner state of gratitude, intention, and wellbeing through the ancient devotional practices of Vedic and kirtan chanting — to access fortitude, focus, guidance, and inner peace during life’s most challenging times.

What You'll Learn During “The Sound Medicine of Sacred Vedic & Kirtan Chanting”

How do you cope when circumstances feel out of control?

How do you sustain yourself and heal when events occur in your life, or in the outside world, that leave you feeling destabilized, afraid, or grieving — as if you’ve been thrown off your path with no roadmap to follow?

What strategies do you use to find your footing again?

According to beloved chantress Nina Rao, spiritual seekers have for centuries turned to the ancient devotional practice of chanting mantras to cultivate a powerful internal container — providing a sense of sanctuary and the kind of inner refuge we’re all longing for.

Even in our busy modern world, the discipline of a daily chanting practice can help you access this space of strength, comfort, and safety within yourself whenever you need to.

Chanting offers spiritual sustenance that feeds and supports you — providing inner strength and peace that you can return to time and again when life throws you off your axis.

Thousands of years ago, this mantra tradition was shared with all spiritual seekers. Over time, however, in an effort to suppress the masses, it became a privilege only accessible to monastic men. Our culture today is harkening back to the ancient roots of chanting to re-establish that Vedic mantras were meant to be available to everyone who wishes to undertake the practice.

Iterations of mantra chanting are found in the form of call-and-response kirtan, which is easily accessible to everyone and practiced all over the world by those who long to immerse themselves in the ocean of divine love through prayers sung from the heart.

Nina grew up in India and learned traditional chanting from her grandfather when she was just nine years old.

When she moved to the States, she met world-renowned chant master Krishna Das, and began chanting and working with him. Her own personal chant practice grew organically out of a natural resonance with music, mantra, and the Divine Feminine.

Nina draws on both her background and on ancient Sanskrit sacred texts to bring a unique perspective to her chanting and teaching… one that fuses East with West.

Class Topics for “The Sound Medicine of Sacred Vedic & Kirtan Chanting”

Join her for a nourishing hour-long event where she’ll share the sacred practices of both Vedic and kirtan chanting, which you can carry with you into your own practice.

During this illuminating experiential workshop, you’ll:

  • Learn how Vedic mantras are precise and rule-driven,which helps you develop stronger concentration, deepen your practice, and honor the ancient tradition… compared to the kirtan that most of us are used to hearing (and singing!) in the West
  • Discover how mantras create an auspicious inner state of gratitude, intention, and wellbeing — a sanctuary for refuge and sustenance in times of duress
  • Hear Nina chant one verse from the Sri Rudram, the invocation of Rudra in the Vedic style — to cope with the karma of life and ask Shiva for his blessings
  • Sing Om Namah Shivaya with Nina in kirtan style — call and response — repeating the name of God to calm your mind, open your heart, and help realize your inner Self
  • Experience the dispelling of fear, and the peace and love that can wash over you as you chant mantras

Drawn from the highest authority in Hindu dharma, Vedic chanting is the practice of repeating a mantra in which exactness in notes, rhythm, and pronunciation is vital…

… while kirtan, which evolved from the original roots of the Vedic mantras, is sung.

They both result in a state of wellbeing of your physical, mental, and emotional bodies, although the Vedic style guides you deeper into your own devotion.

As Nina will explain, knowing how to access your palpable inner haven can soften anxiety and inspire feelings of confidence and calm you can carry throughout your day.

Sustained practice will help you deepen your devotion and cultivate a greater sense of surrender, patience, courage, generosity, clarity, and wisdom.

Chanting helps you develop a loving heart of kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. As a form of prayer, mantras guide you to exercise your true free will, turning what can feel like helplessness into positive action.

With Nina’s guidance, you’ll experience for yourself the exhilarating truth that chanting is an expression of your own innate devotion.

About Your Teacher – Nina Rao

Nina Rao HeadshotNina Rao learned traditional chants (bhajans) from her grandfather in a village in South India when she was nine years old. Her childhood was spent living in and moving between many countries around the world. Prior to rediscovering chanting with Krishna Das in New York in 1996, she worked in banking before switching to organizing and leading photographic wildlife safaris in Africa and India. For many years, she has been Krishna Das’ business manager and accompanist as well as a chant leader in her own right.

Nina tours with Krishna Das, playing cymbals and singing with him. In 2007, she recorded the track “Nina Chalisa” on Krishna Das’ CD Flow of Grace: Chanting the Hanuman Chalisa. In January 2013, she released her debut album, Antarayaami: Knower of All Hearts, which includes a duet with Krishna Das. Later that year, she was honored to accompany him at the Grammy Awards webcast performance. Her second album, Anubhav, released in 2018, was entirely crowdfunded.

For over 20 years she has supported conservationists in preserving the sacred wilderness and forests of India via her charity, Saving Wild Tigers. Nina regularly leads kirtan, chanting in workshops, festivals, and retreats in her hometown of Brooklyn, New York, and beyond.

The Master Plant Experience is concentrated in three areas: spirituality/personal development, experiential with embodiment practices and ceremonies, and science/medicine so they can make informed choices for their body and treatment.

What You'll Learn During the “Master Plant Experience”

It has long been known among indigenous cultures that when people forget their place in the web of life without taking the time to remember and renew their connection with the sacred, illness and imbalances arise.

And we’re seeing the impacts of this disconnection daily, through epidemics of anxiety, depression, addiction, loneliness, chronic illness, not to mention that Mother Earth is facing her own challenges.

Simply put, we have lost our village.

Dr. Maya Shetreat, who is a rare combination of integrative neurologist, herbalist, and spiritual teacher is putting together an event to help us all remedy overwhelm, reverse despair and rediscover connection: The Master Plant Experience: The Science, Safety, and Sacred Ceremony of Psychedelics.

While many people automatically think that psychedelics means taking drugs recreationally or “tripping,” Dr. Maya takes a different, more sacred approach. While macrodosing may be right for some, she teaches that Master Plants can offer lessons through microdosing, quantum dosing, or even simply honoring and learning from the Plants in ceremony without ingesting them at all.

That’s right, Master Plants have long been known as ancient teachers with mycelial messages of connection to help us to navigate the challenges of this very moment.

Some of the world’s greatest thinkers, teachers and artists are joining her to speak on this topic: Bruce Lipton, Lynn McTaggart, Louie Schwartzberg of Fantastic Fungi, the famous psychedelic artists Alex and Allyson Grey, Shamini Jain, Eileen McCusick, Jeffrey Bland, Mark Hyman, Kiran Krishnan, poet Sophie Strand, the Brothers Koren, Luisah Teish, Tony Bossis, Anita Sanchez, and many, many more wonderful people.

We’ll explore:

  • The science and safety of psychedelics
  • Who Plant Medicines are best suited for and who should avoid them
  • What ceremony is and how it can heal us
  • Is microdosing effective
  • The difference between macrodosing and microdosing
  • What is quantum dosing
  • How probiotics & gut health can impact a psychedelic experience
  • The benefits of reconnecting with nature
  • How to best support a life of connectedness and community
  • Discover that none of us is alone – each of us is Me and We
  • Ways to bring more connection and community into your life
  • How music and movement can act as a healing modality
  • What the biofield is and how it connects us
  • Who Plant Medicines may be for and who they are not for
  • How Master Plants influence mitochondria, your heart, and your quantum biology
  • Music and movement as a healing modality
  • Caring for your biofield
  • Approaches to healing trauma including family constellation therapy, tapping, and homeopathy
  • How to heal trauma through family constellation therapy

Best of all, the Master Plant Experience won’t feel intense, rushed, or packed with too much information but rather like a journey into profound and practical wisdom.

Each day will unfold with just a couple of truly deep conversations, many of which will include hands-on EXPERIENCES that will regulate your nervous system, open your heart, and expand your soul.

Benefits of Conscious & Intentional Plant Medicine Use

Imagine a life where you are:

  • Being supported in navigating the challenges of daily life
  • Regulating your nervous system
  • Honoring your connections and relationships
  • Feeling more gratitude and inviting more joy and love into your life
  • Rediscovering connection with yourself, your relationships, and nature
  • Healing and releasing difficult emotions and trauma
  • Helping restore the web of life and right relationship with living beings and the Earth

How The Master Plant Experience Works

This event is meant to gently guide you through the process, while offering moments of relaxation and healing.

Each day will unfold with just a couple of truly deep conversations, many of which will include hands-on experience to help regulate your nervous system, open your heart, and expand your soul.

Daily experiences include:

  • An opening and closing ceremony
  • Daily journal prompts
  • Biofield tuning
  • Singing and music
  • Writing your heart’s own song
  • Art as a channel for sharing your soul
  • Chanting and toning
  • Meditation
  • Group reiki
  • Movement
  • Tapping
  • Storytelling and myth for our journeys of healing

In other words, the Master Plant Experience is the fabulous two week retreat you’ve been longing for… and that you can access from your very own home, and at no cost to you! No pressure, no stress, just a ceremonial experience that will change your life.

As we reclaim the interactive process of ceremony helps us to honor our connections and relationships, each one of us who engages in this way of being in the world helps to restore the web of life and right relationship with living beings and the Earth.

Psychedelics and Natural Health

Remember when we used to think microbes were all bad and being sterile was best…and then we realized that microbes within and on our bodies protect us from developing dementia, diabetes, obesity, autoimmunity and even cancer?

Even mycelium – the “wood wide web” of fungi that live under the forest floor connecting all trees and plants to one another – has captured our imagination because we’re seeing how nature works in community.

Modern science has been showing us again and again what indigenous knowledge has been saying since time immemorial: we are all deeply interconnected.

Yet these days, we’re living in a state of disconnection daily, causing epidemics of anxiety, depression, addiction, loneliness, chronic illness, not to mention watching Mother Earth facing her own challenges.

The Master Plant Experience was created specifically to help us all remedy the overwhelm, reverse despair and rediscover connection. Psychedelics are also showing incredible success in reversing depression, anxiety, addiction, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, and even dementia.

Psychedelics and Mental Wellness

Did you know that a recent study showed that loneliness is as deadly as smoking cigarettes? And we don’t have to be alone to experience loneliness – we only have to feel alone.

We see the impacts of this sense of disconnection daily, through epidemics of anxiety, depression, addiction, loneliness, chronic illness, not to mention that Mother Earth is facing her own challenges.

Yet the collective response – so far – has been to do more of what we have been doing, just with greater intensity and effort, and hoping things would turn out differently. Not surprisingly, that hasn’t really done the trick.

What we really need is to experiment with new, softer perspectives and allow ourselves to explore new territory with an open heart.

What is The Master Plant Experience?

Now in its fourth year, The Master Plant Experience is a 15-day online transformational, healing event designed for practitioners, patients, and the interested to learn about Master Plants in a balanced, responsible, and respectful way.

Psychedelics have been making headlines for reversing everything from treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD to addiction, migraine, and cluster headaches, and even dementia.

How can you navigate the hype, find healing safely, and learn if they are right for you, your loved ones, or even clients or patients?

Master Plants are an indigenous way of referring to these powerful, neuroactive flora and fungi that instigate transformation within us and that are considered wise (and sometimes demanding) teachers and guides to humans.

Though Master Plants are by no means limited to psychedelics (think coffee and cacao!) This event will mostly explore the most cutting edge science and safety data — as well as sacred ceremony — around psychedelics.

The Master Plant Experience also aims to share the nuances of how to support yourself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually in partnership with plant medicine so that you’ll learn to navigate the hype and find healing safely and decide whether it’s right for you or not.

Together, we will create a respectful, responsible, and educated community that understands these Master Plants are more than just a magic pill.

Would you like to learn ways to build your own relationship to the wisdom and ancient wonders of Master Plants, so you can experience a life filled with more wisdom and enchantment?

Master Plants are calling for us to cultivate reverence, gratitude, reciprocity, and kinship with ourselves, each other, the land, and the invisible.

Please Note: This is not a pitch to take psychedelics. The goal is to share openly with you a balanced and responsible view of psychedelics and master plants, so you can make an informed decision for yourself.

Each wave is different. Some are little laps against the shore. Some rush at you and drench the edges of your blanket before they retreat. Some crash hard with a roar as they hit the sand or rocks.

What You'll Learn During “Enter Into the Heart Through Chanting Practice”

Imagine sitting on your favorite beach, watching and listening to the waves as they wax and wane.

Each wave is different. Some are little laps against the shore. Some rush at you and drench the edges of your blanket before they retreat. Some crash hard with a roar as they hit the sand or rocks. Some are a gentle ripple, barely audible.

You don’t attach a feeling or judgment to any one of them as they ebb and flow, do you?

You don’t react or have an emotional response to each individual wave that comes toward you. You’re just mesmerized by the peacefulness, the constant rhythm — like unconscious breathing — as they come close and recede.

What if you could experience your life in the same way?

What if every situation, every event, no matter how sweet or tumultuous, were just another wave for you to witness, or even ride, calmly and without judgment?

As hard as it is to believe while this unexpected, massive global crisis is still on the rise, you CAN maintain your inner peace under any circumstances — with the help of an established daily spiritual practice.

Join us for a powerful hour with Krishna Das, global icon and bestselling Western chant artist, as he introduces you to the sacred process and profound effects of chanting.

What Devotional Chanting Is

Devotional chanting, which is practiced in a wide range of wisdom traditions, has been used for centuries as a way to train people to stay present in the here and now.

Chanting helps you stay focused… using the mantra as the object of awareness.

It allows you to exercise your letting-go muscle — and develop the fortitude to release negative thoughts and emotions and the stories you believe about yourself… or anything else that takes you away as each moment comes and goes.

What you think of yourself, your life, your work, your community, and our world can change — not by altering external circumstances you can’t control, but by transforming your thought patterns. As a result, difficult situations become less painful because you're not as emotionally invested in them.

Of course, there are many spiritual practices designed to bring us continually into the moment…

So why chanting?

Benefits of Practicing Devotional Chanting

In the East, there’s a general understanding that the spirit of all beings is one and the same. Your true nature resides in the “heart cave,” which is the seat of the soul.

Chanting uncovers that place within you.

And as you discover that place, you’ll begin to experience a swell of peace and contentment arising from within. Each time you come back to the mantra, you create new neural pathways in the brain which allow you to move more deeply into who you really are: Truth, Beauty, Unlimited Joy… and Real Love.

In this profound and inspiring hour with Krishna Das, he’ll engage you in a specific chant — a devotional mantra in which he recites different names of the Divine Presence.

Repeating this mantra with love and devotion can help you open your heart and access your inner strength, which influences your experience of life regardless of what’s going on in the outside world… even if just for a few minutes.

Class Topics for “Enter Into the Heart Through Chanting Practice”

In this 60-minute free online event, you’ll discover:

  • How to release your thoughts — and let go of the stories you believe about yourself and your life
  • A chant in which you recite names of the Divine… to start to uncover love and peace in your heart and develop your inner warrior
  • Respite from your overactive mind and anxiety around the global pandemic — a much-needed reset
  • The many ways you’ll begin to sit differently in your heart as you practice chanting — and how that may manifest in your life
  • A taste of how, when you chant as daily spiritual practice, you start to calm your mind, relax your body, and come into rhythm and alignment with a higher frequency
  • The capacity Krishna Das has to guide you into an altered state… with just the power of his voice and presence

We’re so fortunate to have such a dynamic and powerful spiritual teacher and world-renowned performer to help us through this painful moment in history.

And during this free online spiritual healing class, you’ll discover how you can deepen your work with Krishna Das — to embrace the God within you and become more at ease, resilient, grounded, and compassionate during the weeks, months, and years ahead.

About Your Spiritual Teacher – Krishna Das

Krishna Das - HeadshotLayering traditional kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Krishna Das has been called yoga’s “rock star.” With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das — known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD — has taken call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the bestselling Western chant artist of all time. His album Live Ananda (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.

KD spent the late ’60s traveling across the country as a student of Ram Dass. In August 1970, he finally made the journey to India, which led him to Ram Dass’ own beloved guru, Neem Karoli Baba, known to devotees as Maharaj-ji.

Given the name Krishna Das, KD began to chant as part of following the path of Bhakti yoga, the yoga of devotion.

He took solace in music, finding peace and strength in both his Bhakti yoga practice as well as in such heroes as Ray Charles, Van Morrison, Steely Dan, and Bruce Springsteen (whom he laughingly calls “the Bodhisattva of New Jersey”). KD also co-founded Triloka Records, a California-based label specializing in world music, releasing such artists as Jai Uttal, sarod virtuoso Ali Akbar Khan, and legendary jazz musician/composer Jackie McLean.

In 1994, KD started to lead chanting at Jivamukti Yoga Center, NYC, with an ever-growing audience of yoga students that has led him to chant with people all around the world. In February 2013, Krishna Das performed at the Grammy awards in Los Angeles, which was streamed online to millions of viewers. The award-winning film One Track Heart: The Story of Krishna Das, which has been shown in over 100 U.S. cities and in more than 10 countries, is available on DVD everywhere.

KD’s 16th album, Peace Of My Heart, released in October 2018 on behalf of the Kirtan Wallah Foundation, offers nearly two hours of deeply moving, meditative, and artfully restrained new recordings born out of a request from a yoga teacher who works with children on the autism spectrum. Forgoing the ecstatic tempo changes so common to temple-style kirtan, these five new tracks move slowly and deliberately. The song-to-song steadiness is both striking and soothing, and as emotionally impactful as ever.

“The chanting just hits you and you want to be a part of it. That’s the point of this whole thing. That’s what cuts through all the ‘stuff.’ You get lit up. You don’t have to know what it means.” – Krishna Das

About Your Kirtan Teacher – Nina Rao

Nina Rao HeadshotNina Rao learned traditional chants (bhajans) from her grandfather in a village in South India when she was nine years old. Her childhood was spent living in and moving between many countries around the world. Prior to rediscovering chanting with Krishna Das in New York in 1996, she worked in banking before switching to organizing and leading photographic wildlife safaris in Africa and India. For many years, she has been Krishna Das’ business manager and accompanist as well as a chant leader in her own right.

Nina tours with Krishna Das, playing cymbals and singing with him. In 2007, she recorded the track “Nina Chalisa” on Krishna Das’ CD Flow of Grace: Chanting the Hanuman Chalisa. In January 2013, she released her debut album, Antarayaami: Knower of All Hearts, which includes a duet with Krishna Das. Later that year, she was honored to accompany him at the Grammy Awards webcast performance. Her second album, Anubhav, released in 2018, was entirely crowdfunded.

For over 20 years she has supported conservationists in preserving the sacred wilderness and forests of India via her charity, Saving Wild Tigers. Nina regularly leads kirtan, chanting in Hanuman Chalisa workshops and retreats in her hometown of Brooklyn, New York, and beyond.

About Your Spiritual Teacher – Krishna Das

Layering traditional kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Krishna Das has been called yoga’s “rock star.” With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das — known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD — has taken call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the bestselling Western chant artist of all time. His album Live Ananda (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.

KD spent the late ’60s traveling across the country as a student of Ram Dass. In August 1970, he finally made the journey to India, which led him to Ram Dass’ own beloved guru, Neem Karoli Baba, known to devotees as Maharaj-ji. Given the name Krishna Das, KD began to chant as part of following the path of Bhakti yoga, the yoga of devotion.

He took solace in music, finding peace and strength in both his Bhakti yoga practice as well as in such heroes as Ray Charles, Van Morrison, Steely Dan, and Bruce Springsteen (whom he laughingly calls “the Bodhisattva of New Jersey”). KD also co-founded Triloka Records, a California-based label specializing in world music, releasing such artists as Jai Uttal, sarod virtuoso Ali Akbar Khan, and legendary jazz musician/composer Jackie McLean.

In 1994, KD started to lead chanting at Jivamukti Yoga Center, NYC, with an ever-growing audience of yoga students that has led him to chant with people all around the world. In February 2013, Krishna Das performed at the Grammy awards in Los Angeles, which was streamed online to millions of viewers. The award-winning film One Track Heart: The Story of Krishna Das, which has been shown in over 100 U.S. cities and in more than 10 countries, is available on DVD everywhere.

KD’s 16th album, Peace of My Heart, released in October 2018 on behalf of the Kirtan Wallah Foundation, offers nearly two hours of deeply moving, meditative, and artfully restrained new recordings born out of a request from a yoga teacher who works with children on the autism spectrum. Forgoing the ecstatic tempo changes so common to temple-style kirtan, these five new tracks move slowly and deliberately. The song-to-song steadiness is both striking and soothing, and as emotionally impactful as ever.

“The chanting just hits you and you want to be a part of it,” KD promises. “That’s the point of this whole thing. That’s what cuts through all the ‘stuff.’ You get lit up. You don’t have to know what it means.”
