QS Community Care Circle recording of August 17th, Chant + Breathe.

We invite you get comfy, grab some hydration and join us in chanting together.

The Queer Spirit Community gathers on the 3rd Sunday of each month for practices in devotional chanting, toning and song, as well as breath work + movement. These practices are faciltated by TanyaMarck Oviedo (they/them) and Nick Venegoni (he/they). They are curated + inspired by the planetary + astrological + pagan wheel of the year energies in mind.

In this practice we honor the astrological energies of the Moon in Gemini + Jupiter in Cancer + Saturn in Aries - reality + Neptune in Aries - fantasy.

The sanskrit mantras we chanted today:

• Om Gum Ganapayei Namaha translation - "Salutations to Ganesha, remover of obstacles."
• Om Gum Gurubhyo Namaha translation - "Salutations to the Gurus, I bow to you."

Gratitude for today's Mantras from "Healing Mantras" by Thomas Ashley-Farrand.

We honor with Gratitude + Thanks the sacred Practices + Traditions + Peoples + Lands: Yoga, Ayurveda – Sanskrit, Mantra, Raga, Hindi & Urdu language music traditions, Buddhism + Tibet + Meditation; Tongva + Kizh + Chumash + Ohlone; Tarot + Astrology + Magic + Witchcraft; the teachers who have carried this wisdom and shared it with us ~ Gracias.
