Into the Heart of Bhakti: A Community Immersion Through the Lens of The Gita with Special Guest Swami Revatikaanta + Kirtan lead Radharani + Supported by Akash Chander + Moderated & Meditation by Paola Cruz.
Please join us for an evening of conscious conversation, music, & community
Rather than a lecture, this is a space for living inquiry — exploring the Gita not just as a text, but as a mirror for your own life and practice. Swami Revatikaanta will guide us through story, reflection, and dialogue, as we dive into key teachings from the Gita that speak to purpose, action, inner steadiness, and devotion.
Surrounding the talk, we’ll share in devotional music, light plant-based snacks, and time to simply be together in intentional community. Whether you're new to the Gita or have walked with it for years, this evening is about connecting more deeply — to the text, to yourself, and to others.
This is a donation based event!
