Embark on a vocal journey through the sacred sounds of ancient India. With call-and-response group chanting and storytelling, Jai Uttal creates a space of invocation, prayer, and heartfelt expression. This meditative practice of calling to the divine creates a bridge between the individual and the eternal, opening the heart and welcoming the spirit. By singing these prayers and expressing a full range of emotions through our voices we join a stream of consciousness and devotion that has been flowing for centuries. 

Kirtan is part of an ancient form of yoga known as bhakti or the yoga of devotion. It is the practice of singing the many names of the Divine. This practice of calling to the divine creates a bridge between the individual and the eternal, opening the heart and welcoming the spirit. Sometimes soft and meditative and sometimes loud and wildly rhythmic, Kirtan takes the participant on a deep emotional and musical journey through our mostly unexplored inner world. With solo performance and call-and-response group chanting, Jai creates a space of invocation, prayer, and heartfelt expression.

Jai Uttal is a pioneer in the world music community. His eclectic sound has put his music at the forefront of the world fusion movement. Jai’s musical roots embrace a rich variety of cultures and traditions that span the globe and the centuries. From the music of the Appalachian Mountains to the passionate strains of Bengali street singers, Jai’s music distills the essence of diverse musical forms. Don’t miss this chance to chant and dance with one of the world-leading artists!
Jai has been leading Kirtans worldwide for over thirty years. "These ancient chants," writes Jai "contain a transformative power and healing energy. By singing these prayers we join a stream of consciousness and devotion that has been flowing for centuries.
Kirtan is the Calling, the reaching across infinite space, digging into the heart’s deepest well to touch and be touched by the divine presence " Jai Uttal
"Jai Uttal is the foremost artist merging traditional Indian music and jazz… a master who is synthesizing some important and exciting music." –

Hanuman’s Heart: The Essence of Bhakti and Service

Retreat June 7 – 9, 2024

The Neem Karoli Baba Ashram is hosting a retreat at the ashram in collaboration with the Ram Dass Love Serve Remember Foundation.

The focus of the retreat will be on service and devotion and their interconnectedness. Neem Karoli Baba said “Love everyone, serve everyone and remember God”. The teachers will talk about and explore ways in which selfless service is devotion in action and how serving others deepens our love for God and one another. There will be opportunities during the retreat to do seva (service) at the ashram. One of the main focuses of the ashram is to feed people and the seva will revolve around serving in the kitchen and garden, where the ashram grows the vegetables for the prasad (blessed food) it serves to all who come.

The retreat will begin on Friday afternoon June 7, at 2 p.m. with registration and culminate on Sunday night June 9, at 9 p.m. with Kirtan by Jai Uttal.

The retreat will be on the ashram grounds and will be limited to 100 participants. All retreat activities will take place at the ashram. Vegetarian (Satvic, no eggs, onions or garlic) breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided. There will be up to 40 campsites available for those who would like to spend the whole time at the ashram. Campers must provide their own camping gear (i.e., tent, towel and bedding etc.). Campsites will be assigned at registration on Friday, June 7.  Showers and bathroom facilities are provided. Those who do not camp at the ashram will have to provide their own off-site housing. A list of recommended hotels and B&Bs will be provided upon request. Offsite participants will have to provide their own transportation to and from the ashram. Parking will be provided for retreant vehicles.

Welcome to Camp Sacred City
Together. we gather on the beautiful nature preserve, Wonderfield Farm, for 4 days to co-create a magical place. We bring the Sacred City to life, brick by brick, by embodying who we truly are and sharing our gifts freely.
What Do I Share at Camp?
At Camp Sacred City, everyone has the platform to be seen in their magic. It is pretty special to be seen and valued. This is part of the magic. Enjoy camping on the land and sharing the miracle of who you are with the people. You will have a spot to camp and setup an offering if you’d like. There will be a few big tents where campers can sign up to share a 30 minute experience with the community. Or you can simply walk around and share your gift with whoever you bump into. It can be as simple as sharing long warm hugs!
What Do I Receive at Camp?
Campers also get to be surrounded by a community of people open to sharing their gifts freely. So, this is an opportunity to receive in abundance as you journey through the city. We encourage everyone to ask the question to everyone you run into "which one of your gifts are you choosing to share this weekend?"
Nightly City Celebrations
We also come together each night for City Celebrations to rejoice in the magic we are activating with each courageous choice to be ourselves and share our gifts with the world. We will dance. We will sing. We will move. And we will come together arm in arm to celebrate in this magical city we are bringing to life. We are honored to welcome Poranguí, Mose, Equanimous, Meeshy, Brielle Aguila and the Sacred City Band as our medicine musicians and guides for our nightly journeys together.
1 Path to Camp Sacred City
Attend and Camp as a Nomad
Coming solo is a beautiful way of laying your bricks in the Sacred City. What activates the magic is you opening up and offering who you are and what gift you want to share freely with the community. This could be a setup in your tent area, a 30 minute offering in one of our large Nomad Offering Tents, or something as simple as sharing the gift of active listening with people around you. You can offer gifts when you feel called and there is no expectation for your efforts. Campers are encouraged to ask you "which gift did you choose to share this weekend?" to activate the opportunity to share. We have team members who will be at City Center to guide you and support you along your journey. This ticket includes a 12ft x 15ft camping spot in Nomad Village. Spots are first come first serve.

Krishna Das’s workshops are like mini-retreats of about 3 hours. Along with chanting, Krishna Das shares stories about his experiences on the Path. Workshops with Krishna Das usually include: Chanting (call and response) with musical accompaniment, stories about his Guru, readings from spiritual traditions, teachings, and discussions about life and the spiritual Path. This forum provides the opportunity for Q&A in an intimate setting.

“The chanting just hits you and you want to be a part of it. That’s the point of this whole thing. That’s what cuts through all the ‘stuff’. You get lit up. You don’t have to know what it means.”

~ KRISHNA DAS

Layering traditional kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Krishna Das has been called yoga’s “rock star.” With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das ” known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD ” has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling western chant artist of all time. His album ‘Live Ananda’ (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.

“Krishna Das is an example of someone whose heartsongs open the channels to God.”

~ RAM DASS

In 1994, KD started leading chant at Jivamukti Yoga Center, NYC, with an ever-growing audience of yoga students that has led him to chant with people all around the world. In February 2013, Krishna Das performed at the Grammy awards in Los Angeles, CA streamed online to millions of viewers. The award-winning film ‘One Track Heart: The Story of Krishna Das’ has been in over 100 US cities, over 10 countries worldwide and is available on DVD everywhere.

“I’ve met many people who regularly turn to Krishna Das’s chanting for hope when in sorrow, a sense of belonging when feeling adrift, and for the sheer joy of recalling the power of love. I’m just like that too.”

Layering traditional kirtan with instantly accessible melodies and modern instrumentation, Krishna Das has been called yoga’s “rock star.” With a remarkably soulful voice that touches the deepest chord in even the most casual listener, Krishna Das ” known to friends, family, and fans as simply KD ” has taken the call-and-response chanting out of yoga centers and into concert halls, becoming a worldwide icon and the best-selling western chant artist of all time. His album ‘Live Ananda’ (released January 2012) was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Age album category.

“Krishna Das is an example of someone whose heartsongs open the channels to God.” ~ RAM DASS

In 1994, KD started leading chant at Jivamukti Yoga Center, NYC, with an ever-growing audience of yoga students that has led him to chant with people all around the world. In February 2013, Krishna Das performed at the Grammy awards in Los Angeles, CA streamed online to millions of viewers. The award-winning film ‘One Track Heart: The Story of Krishna Das’ has been in over 100 US cities, over 10 countries worldwide and is available on DVD everywhere.

“I’ve met many people who regularly turn to Krishna Das’s chanting for hope when in sorrow, a sense of belonging when feeling adrift, and for the sheer joy of recalling the power of love. I’m just like that too.”
~ SHARON SALZBERG
