Echoes of Emptiness: An evening of Kirtan, Mantra, Meditation, and Sacred Sound w/ Chandra Easton & Musical Guests Ramana Erickson, and Jesse Sheehan Tickets are Sliding Scale $20-45 and include a blue lotus infused cacao beverage! Join Chandra Easton, Buddhist teacher, author, and devotional chantress, for an evening of sacred sound exploring the "echoes of emptiness" — the empty yet vividly appearing nature of sound, thought, and all phenomena. Rooted in Buddhist and Hindu Tantric traditions, this gathering offers an accessible, joyful entry into devotional music and meditation for all levels. Chandra will be joined by music collaborators Ramana Erickson and Jesse Sheehan weaving voice, melody, and rhythm into a shared field of practice. Through call-and-response chanting, mantra repetition, and meditation, we'll move together into the meeting place of sound and stillness. The evening will feature devotional chants and melodies honoring a pantheon of divine wisdom beings. We will be invited to open and embody their awakened qualities, to drink from the wellspring of divine shakti, and to leave refreshed by collective ceremony and joy. Come as you are. You're welcome to sing, listen, rest, or move as the practice unfolds. No prior experience with chanting or meditation is needed. Join us for an intimate evening where ancient wisdom meets a contemporary, communal container — and where sound becomes a doorway into presence and connection. ⸻ About Chandra Easton Chandra Easton is a Buddhist teacher, author, and devotional chantress, holding the title Dorje Lopön (Vajra Teacher). She has studied and practiced within Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhist lineages as well as Hindu Tantric traditions, and is known for weaving chanting, meditation, and Dharma teachings into embodied, accessible devotional practice. Her teaching emphasizes direct experience over conceptual understanding, inviting students into relationship with sound, silence, and the sacred feminine through living practice rather than doctrine. She studied classical Hindustani music and Nada Yoga with Rita Sahai and Sudhanshu Sharma. She is a co-founder of the musical group, 21 Taras Collective (www.21tarascollective.org), and the author of “Embodying Tara: Twenty-One Manifestations to Awaken Your Own Wisdom.” Visit www.chandraeaston.com. ⸻ About the Music Guests ​Ramana Erickson began learning kirtan at a young age, living continuously in ashrams in the U.S. and India from ages nine to twenty-one.
