Member Appreciation

Last week we had the talented Kirtan musician, Ananda Das, do a concert with the band, Bend Bhakti Collective, then a 3 day Bhakti Yoga and Kirtan workshop, then do our Sunday talk and music. It was because of the support of Unity member, Greg Warnick, that Ananda was able to do all these events for our community. Greg helped market, host, and assist Ananda. Greg has a big passion for Kirtan music and introduced Ananda to our community several years ago. Thank you Greg for supporting Ananda and so many other amazing musicians, and connecting them with our community. Music is such a beautiful way to connect with the Divine, don’t you think?
