Nada Yoga Training Rishikesh Jan 2019

Hi, I am Dana and I am humbly and courageously putting myself out here in a request for financial support.  

I have a dream to participate in the Nada Yoga Training in Rishikesh in January 2019 for specific training in an area that I love, for personal growth reasons and, I am also turning 50 in January and it would be the best way to celebrate my years on the planet so far!!

My wish is to immerse myself in the course to further embody my understanding of mantra, Sanskrit, sound-based philosophies, to deepen my sound practise personally, up-skill my instrument, asana, and learn from original cultural masters in the art!   

I have been involved in the chanting community in Nth NSW for a number of years, as an event organiser and advancing to leading kirtan over the last year.  Whilst there’s been a lot to learn and that continues, I enjoy singing the names of the divine, offering the beauty of sound through voice, and connecting with others through this form of transformational devotional music. 

My wish to do the January training (as opposed to later in the year) is to have a fresh start, and be able to move forward into 2019, pursuing something that is deeply meaningful for me in life in a more structured form and to create prosperity doing so.  

My vision beyond the course is to teach privately, small groups and workshops and continue to chant with the incredible community I’ve had the privilege to chant with this year, with potential to take sound yoga into situations for people in need. 

The course is held in Rishikesh, on the banks of the holy river Ganges from Jan 1st to 30th and includes a combination of Asana and sound and music-based training in the Indian tradition of Nada Yoga, including some classical indian training.   Check it out here:  https://www.nadyoga.org/nada-yoga-teacher-training-in-india/ (you might want to come too!).

The amount I’m hoping to raise is $4,600 and it covers: the course fee, flights, new passport and incidentals such as travel costs within India. 

My latest travel date is December 28th and this is very soon!  Despite the late timing, it all feels right for that unknown and inexplicable reason. 

My heart is open to all possibilities and it is with my hand on my heart with gratitude that I receive all donations.  I realise that Go Fund Me is usually for more altruistic purposes and for that reason, I can offer some things in exchange for your kind support:

Some ideas for offerings:

$1 – 25:  A warm hug and thank you letter and my gratitude

$25 – 50: 1 or 2 hours of cleaning and sanctifying your place

$50 – 100:  Healing Sessions:  Nada Yoga Session (post the course!), Spiral Aura Balance, Spiritual Purpose Alignment, or a Vocal Toning Sound Healing

$100 – 150:  Small private soiree of mantra for you and some friends

$150 and higher:  Choose your own (let’s chat about it!)

You could also gift a friend/relative a session for Christmas.
Something else you can think of, and would like?

I'll check in with you all later in the campaign to see if you have chosen an exchange. xoxo

With lots of love, thanks and deep gratitude
