Kirtan Fest Milwaukee – July 29-31
Driving up the three-quarter-mile driveway at Blue Lotus Farm and Retreat Center in West Bend, Wisconsin, one can already feel a sense of calmness and peace. The excitement of the festival is balanced by the serenity of the natural setting, a farm that was converted into a not-for-profit serving those with special needs. For one weekend a year, the venue becomes an oasis for the nature-loving Yogi. A tent rests on the grass and inside, there is kirtan music (a devotional form of Yoga, expressed by call and response mantra chanting) from local and national artists. A meadow beside the tent is the site for all-levels yoga classes, and a labyrinth and hiking paths around a lake grace the property. Best of all is the community that gathers; the friends that are made; the love that is shared; and the heartfelt sense of creating something wonderful together. The founder of the festival, Kaita Bliffert, is a kirtan artist in Milwaukee, and loves nothing more than bringing people together to create a higher vibration for the benefit of those in attendance, and for the rest of the world. We invite you to experience this bliss July 29-31. For more information, please go to: www.kirtanfestmilwaukee.com., or call 414-412-2473.

The 21 Stages of Meditation – August 27-Sept. 1
Six days of deep meditation. Journey through upset, boredom, and irritation to crystallize your Self. Experience delight, elevation, and graceful enlightenment! End with prayerful stillness, as you open the dimension of the Transcendent Self. Come deepen your contemplative capacity, broaden your understanding of meditation, and reawaken your passion for meditating!
Take two days, or all six days! Days one & two we recognize, experience, and crystallize the Self, which is needed for consciousness to work. Days three & four we learn to maintain our integrity in action, and ultimately find the stillness within each action. Days five & six open the dimension of the Transcendent Self. This is where we become a realized human being.
This is appropriate for meditators of all traditions! Gurucharan Singh Khalsa, Ph.D., the author of 21 STAGES OF MEDITATION: Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, co-teaches with Shakta Kaur, at Kundalini Yoga in the Loop (KYL). Visit www.ShaktaKaur.com, or call 312-922-4699.
