Power of the Loving Heart with Krishna Das & Sharon Salzberg

As longtime friends and colleagues, KD and Sharon share a deep respect for each other’s practices and have explored them as a complement to their own lineage over the years. Sharon and KD have been presenting public retreats together in this vein, and now for the first time, are bringing these teachings to life in the form of an online course.

Krishna Das started leading chant at Jivamukti Yoga Center, NYC in 1994. Over the years, he continued chanting, developing his signature style, fusing traditional kirtan of the east with western harmonic and rhythmic sensibilities. The audiences have been ever growing. With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das – he has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling western chant artist of all time. KD now travels the world sharing his kirtan practice and wonderful stories of his life, of Maharaji-ji, of his life on the Path, and discusses bringing chanting into our lives through retreats and workshops.
