We've been getting some great feedback from those who attended the Capoeira Angola workshop and this weekend's events with Sat Kartar! A Capoeira participant wrote: "The neat thing about attending the workshop was that going into it I didn't have any expectations of what was going to take place, but afterwards found it to be quite interesting. The instructor was very passionate about his practice and knowledgeable. He gave what I thought to be a great introduction to the roots of the dance and was very interested in keeping the storied tradtions. Overall it was a great time and certainly unique." And, writing from my own experience of the Sat Kartar concert, I found the event to be very enlivening. Mike Cohen and his Kirtan group performed extremely well and did a great job of warming up the crowd's chant vocals. Sat Kartar's music was enchanting. Her voice, ability to improvise, and stage presence were strong and inviting. The evening was definitely a success, providing a nice blend of music, meditation, and movement.

Thanks to all who attended! Photos of this weekend to be posted soon!
