Sacred Music Gathering with Jordan Loder - Sound, Movement, and Community

7pm – 8:30pm - Kirtan (90 minutes)

Jordan's unique Kirtan sessions are genuinely moving experiences for the community with a focus on gratitude, forgiveness, compassion, and love. Participants will experience laughter, deep cleansing tears, and an organic feeling of interpersonal (and universal) connectedness. Together we'll chant Buddhist and Sanskrit mantras, offering prayers for those who have passed, those yet to come, our Mother Earth, our inner child, our ancestors, and each other. Rhythmic waves of call-and-response chanting uplift and unify. Tender moments of silence invite you to rest in your true essence — where separation dissolves and the ever-present Self is revealed. Although we go very deep within the heart, this is perfectly balanced by a lighthearted and authentic approach which makes this accessible to total beginners and life-long bhaktas alike. All are welcome.

9pm – 10:15pm - Dance Journey & Yoga Nidra - Sacred Embodiment (75 minutes)

This powerful dance experience is a rich opportunity to move our bodies in space and time on a journey through the cosmos, held in a drug and alcohol-free environment that prioritizes authentic connection and deep release. The sonic landscape incorporates indigenous rhythms from around the world, the sounds of nature, the sacred elements, classical, jazz, and the occasional nod to the spirit of classic rock and roll. Sprinkled throughout the journey are spoken word samples of spiritual greats, infusing every footstep with intention and joy. The journey concludes with a 15-minute sound bath Savasana (lying down) that includes a guided meditation (Yoga Nidra) to dissolve remaining tension, integrate the night's energy, and rest in profound peace and happiness. 

Jordan Loder is an international kirtan artist whose devotional chanting flows from raw vulnerability and heartfelt presence. Influenced deeply by Ramana Maharshi’s teachings—first felt in youth and later deepened through pilgrimage and extended residence near Arunachala—Jordan weaves ancient Hindu and Buddhist mantras centered on forgiveness, gratitude, and compassion.

Jordan’s concerts and retreats have graced stages worldwide, from festivals to yoga studios, fostering community through call-and-response chanting rooted in timeless bhakti traditions—expressed in a contemporary way that is all his own.

His approach is refreshing in its depth and sincerity: profound without pretense, free of spiritual titles or proclaimed powers, carried instead with quiet humility, gentle humor, and an effortless lightness of being. Everything is sacred, with no exceptions—his gatherings offer spaces for emotional release, deep laughter, and profound stillness, inviting all to rest in the ever-present Self.

He draws from extensive immersion in the global Kirtan community having toured with beloved artists like Snatam Kaur, Deva Premal & Miten, GuruGanesha, Simrit, Ajeet, The Landis Brothers, Hans Christian, Stephen Bross, Matt Pszonak, and Adam Baue.
