Featuring the Sacred Sound Current of SIMRIT

Some voices move energy itself. SIMRIT’s voice opens the sky within you.

To be present when SIMRIT opens her sound current is to enter a living temple of vibration. Her music has become a sanctuary for thousands around the world—a space where grief softens, the heart opens, and the soul remembers its depth.

Layered in ancient scales, sacred rhythms, and unmistakable power, SIMRIT’s voice carries a transmission that works beneath the surface. It shifts energy, unravels density, and aligns you with a more refined frequency of joy, devotion, and presence.

At this event, her sound merges with the practices—each meditation, each kriya, each prayer deepened by her music’s resonance.

This is a rare chance to be bathed in her sound, not as an audience, but as an active participant in the experience of awakening. Click here to learn more:

A Living Treasure: Robert Thurman

The great Bob Thurman is more than a renowned scholar or charismatic speaker. He is a living vessel of ancient Buddhist wisdom, poured through decades of deep practice, fearless inquiry, and joyful service.

Every word he shares carries the vibration of his practice—his presence itself transmits the Dharma.

A close student and friend of the Dalai Lama, Robert Thurman has been a bridge between Eastern mystical traditions and Western minds for generations. He was named as one of Time Magazine’s 25 most influential Americans. His brilliance is undeniable—but it’s his humor, his heart, and his fierce compassion that truly leave an imprint.

This is a rare opportunity to be in the room with someone who has spent his life devoted to awakening—for real. 

He makes the esoteric accessible.
He makes the ancient feel relevant.
He invites you into a higher octave of perception—where intellect bows to insight, and compassion becomes a way of seeing.
