Vedic Chanting is the ancient art of transmitting the Vedas orally, from teacher to student. This practice hones your listening skills tremendously, improves memory, works to extend the breath fully, and can lead to a deep meditative state.

We will:
- Briefly discuss the Sanskrit alphabet to learn about pronunciation
- Learn the six main rules of Vedic chanting
- Learn to chant Vedic mantras, such as the Gayatri Mantra from the Rg Veda

All experience levels are welcome. Join us for this joyful experience!
