Chandra is a Buddhist teacher, author, and devotional chantress holding the title Dorje Lopön (Vajra Teacher) of Tara Mandala, and co-founder of the 21 Taras Collective. She is known for weaving chanting, meditation, and storytelling into embodied, accessible pathways into presence — emphasizing direct spiritual experience over conceptual understanding.The theme of the evening is echoes of emptiness — an exploration of the empty yet luminously appearing nature of sound, thought, and all phenomena, drawn from the heart of Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhist philosophy. Far from being abstract or dry, emptiness here is something you feel: in the resonance between voices, in the space after a mantra, in the stillness that holds everything.Guest Musician Saheb Singh:Saheb Singh is a dynamic tabla player whose work bridges tradition and innovation. He began playing at age 8 and performed publicly by 9, showing an early sensitivity to rhythm and musical dialogue.Rooted in Indian percussion and open to global influences, Saheb approaches rhythm as communication, connection, and healing. His playing weaves intricate patterns that elevate the collective sound.He has collaborated with artists across cultures, creating a rhythmic foundation that connects performers and audiences alike. Across classical, devotional, fusion, and contemporary settings, his artistry reflects integrity, collaboration, and expressive storytelling through rhythm.What the Evening IncludesCall & Response Kirtan — Chant traditional Sanskrit mantras together in the ancient practice of kirtan (melodic chanting) and japa (mantra repetition). These practices uplift the spirit, open the heart, and create a felt sense of inner peace that builds across the evening.Guided Meditation — Settle into the space where sound and silence meet. Rhythmic, repetitive chanting naturally guides the mind into deeper states of meditative absorption — accessible to complete beginners and longtime practitioners alike.Storytelling — Chandra weaves teaching stories throughout the evening, offering a doorway into the living wisdom behind the practices — not as doctrine, but as direct invitation.Community & Connection — We sit in a circle, meditate, chant.  If the spirit moves you, dancing is welcome. The power of communal practice to dissolve the sense of separation is one of the oldest medicines we have.No experience needed. This is a participatory evening, not a performance. You're welcome to sing, listen, rest, or move as the practice unfolds. What matters is that you show up.FeesYour fees help make this evening possible — covering venue rental, admin costs, snacks, tea, and donations to our musicians.
