"Through chanting, love arises. If love arises, it means that you have attained God, because God’s true nature is love. By chanting the Name of God everything becomes pure and auspicious. The atmosphere becomes pure, even the earth and sky become pure. To chant the auspicious name of God is to make the tongue, the ears, and the heart auspicious and pure:"
~ Swami Muktananda

Celestial music in a beautiful sanctuary, with the lights down low; a p.a. system that brings out the subtlest nuance, while creating a beautiful balance of voice and instrument; chanting with hundreds of fellow bliss seekers, this is a sublime venue.

Experience:

At age 15, I experienced a profound awakening that lead me on a path of self-discovery. I was so inspired, I opened a meditation center in what had been my brother's bedroom.
After High School, I moved into Swami Muktanandas ashram. During these 6 years of monastic life, I received certification as a teacher of meditation and yoga. This opened the door to many rich opportunities. I taught stress reduction, meditation, and personal growth in colleges, businesses, and prisons.
In the early 80's, I managed an ashram in Oakland; a large residential facility which held classes for up to 1200 participants. I taught meditation in conjunction with counseling. It was during my years in the ashram that I experienced how living simply in collaboration with others created a life of real abundance.
I made an in depth study of rhythm. I studied tabla drums. Tablas are incredibly versatile and evocative drums. They are melodic while evoking a deeply primal experience. I continued my study of rhythm with congas and the African djembe.
In 1988, I became certified as a hypnotherapist and in 1989, I received certification as a third level Reiki practitioner.
In the early 90's, I developed the series "Exploring The Male Heart"; to assist men in deepening their experience as spiritual beings. I created the series "The Sacred Art Of Drumming"; to give an experiential knowledge of one's True Nature along with tools to express this in daily life.
I have had the honor of working with developmentally disabled and abused children. Drums have been a profound vehicle in transcending the physical and mental boundaries towards a personal connection.
To watch them transform from being withdrawn and combative to engaged and inspired is to this day, some of the most rewarding work that I know.
I have been in practice as a counselor for 26 years and presently have a practice in my home-studio in Sebastopol.

Do you
.. feel stuck in your life?
.. have concerns in a relationship?
...feel weighted down by addiction?
...want to experience the wealth of strength and joy within you?

It is my profound honor to assist you through whatever passage you are traversing, to a deeper awareness of your innate worth and the recognition and expression of your unique gifts.
I'm available for sessions by phone, Skype, or in my Sebastopol office.
All the very Best,
Sahar
