Global Mala 08 - Kirtan Videos and Pictures

The Global Mala Project is a worldwide effort spearheaded by Shiva Rae, Sean Corne, Michael Franti, and yogis, yoga studios, performers and activists around the world. Gaura Vani & As Kindred Spirits were featured performers for this year’s Second Annual DC Global Mala, which coincided with the Fall Equinox and UN International Peace Day (Sunday, September 21st). This year’s DC-GMP was held at THEARC, a spacious, state-of-the-art cultural center in Southeast Washington, DC. The day ended with a “hot fire” Kirtan Dance Party headed up by Gaura Vani & As Kindred Spirits, who were joined by Wynne Paris.

The day also included:

“How to Salute the Sun” workshop for newcomers to yoga
Live Demos: Acro Yoga, Ballet, Yoga, Budokon, and Capoiera
Food marketplace sponsored by DC’s Java Green
A full-fledged Healing Arts marketplace
Performers and presenters from DC and beyond to offer live music and entertainment throughout the day
Dharma talk by renowned Jivamukti teacher Alanna Kaivalya
Collective practice of 108 Sun Salutations

Gaura Vani & As Kindred Spirits is happy to continue to support this important project. Last year’s inaugural DC Global Mala, was a phenomenal success—raising over $12,000 for Trees for the Future, and bringing together 500 participants to salute the sun, take in a dharma talk, and chant and sing at kirtan. We look forward to next year’s festivities.
