90-Minute Bhakti Yoga & Sound Journey with Sitka and Stillness Collective (Uma Devi & Tifannie)

Date: Sunday, September 20th, 2026

Time: 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM

Location: Ma Wellness & Yoga, Victoria

Investment: $25 (100% of proceeds directly support grassroots medical and flood relief efforts for the mountain communities in Nepal)

As the Autumn Equinox invites us inward, we gather to anchor stability, share stories of resilience, and extend our hearts across the world.

This evening draws inspiration from the sacred stillness of the Himalayas and the ancient wisdom of the Buddha. Having lived in this region in 2013, my heart is deeply tied to its people and sanctuaries, including a centuries-old monastery that taught me profound lessons on impermanence and community. In response to the devastating flash floods recently impacting these mountain villages, 100% of tonight's proceeds will go directly toward Mountain Heart Nepal (MHN)—an incredible, volunteer-driven grassroots medical relief organization founded and run by local doctors deploying directly to disaster-affected communities on the ground.

Through a soothing Somatic Descent, we will use the warm drone of the harmonium, communal mantra, and a restorative sound journey to steady our nervous systems. Like the steadfast mountains that weather every storm, we will use our breath and collective practice to cultivate deep empathy, peace, and presence.

The Sonic Journey

• The Calling of the Mountains: We begin with a low, grounding hum of the harmonium, creating a steady vibrational foundation to soothe the nervous system and call our awareness inward.

• Devotional Chant (Mantra & Harmonium): Activating the heart center. A practice of opening the heart chrysalis, using a simple, rhythmic mantra to call forth the frequency of deep peace and solidarity.

• Crystalline Bowls: Bringing the soft, luminous "moonlight" of sound into the space, focusing on clearing the mind and inviting a state of vibrant, focused inner vision.

• Planetary Gongs: A deep, undulating, ocean-like frequency designed to wash over the body, settling the busy summer fire into a cool, grounded glow.

A Communal Landing To ground our shared experience, we will gather for a comforting, seasonal tea infusion paired with a sweet Prasad, celebrating the abundance of the season and the warmth of our shared community.

Supporting Our Community (Near and Far) By gathering in circle tonight, we extend our practice outward. 100% of your investment goes directly toward Mountain Heart Nepal, providing vital grassroots medical aid and emergency relief to families navigating this crisis. Thank you for giving back as we practice together.

In Service of the Heart and the Sacred
