THE WAKE UP FESTIVAL - 2013

SNATAM KAUR

Today was the first day of the 5 day Wake Up Festival at Estes Park, Colorado and I am so looking forward to this amazing experience. Tami Simon invited four presenters to open the conference with their blessings, but the true blessing was the nearly two hour performance by American born Sikh artist, singer, and teacher -  Snatam Kaur. 

Her sweet and humble countenance when speaking juxtaposed perfectly with the confident, spiritual voice that praised the Divine in Sanskrit and English chants. Grammy award winner, Peter Kater, joined her on stage for over half the concert, adding his ethereal keyboarding to the mix. The result was a prayer in celebration of the Energy that unites us all and guides our way. 

May the Long Time Sun

Shine upon you

All love surround you

And the pure light

within you

Guide your way on

Tomorrow,  Tara Brach and Adyashanti lead the morning sessions - their themes will be Awakening From the Trance of Unworthiness and Uncensored Straight Talk on the Nature of Enlightenment, respectively.
