Through the annual organization of this PowWow, they raise funds to support travel and lodging for tribal members who wish to return to these sacred homelands. Rooted in tradition, community, and cultural resilience, their work helps ensure that the connection between the Mohican people and their lands endures for generations to come.

Sacred Aramaic
Why Aramaic? It is the language that Jesus spoke, anything that Jesus (Yeshua in Aramaic) said was in Aramaic. Through the work of Neil Douglas-Klotz, we can experience a fresh, healing, life affirming breath, without the dualism and patriarchy that some of us may have experienced previously. Delving into the meanings, using the words as chants, songs, body prayers, dances becomes a deep life affirming practice. This has been part of our practice since the early 2000's. We will meet in Fattah, in the family room. - with Amina Silk and Arif Lenninger

Kirtan - With Ishwari and Friends - Followed by Potluck
Kirtan is a form of devotional music rooted in the Bhakti tradition of India. It involves call-and-response chanting, where mantras, names of the Divine, or sacred verses are sung in community. Often accompanied by harmonium, drums, and other traditional instruments, Kirtan creates a shared space for heart-centered connection, spiritual upliftment, and inner stillness. Whether you're singing or simply listening, the vibrations of Kirtan can help quiet the mind and open the heart.
Ishwari began her musical journey in the 1978 punk scene in Austin, TX, and later explored opera, dance, and world music in NYC. She discovered kirtan in 2000 and sang with Sruti Ram in SRI Kirtan from 2004–2016, performing at Bhaktifest, Omega, Kripalu, and beyond. Their album Live Your Love reached Billboard’s World Music Chart. A longtime bhakti yoga practitioner, she studied with Shyamdas for a decade and was initiated into the Pushtimarg tradition by her guru, Babashri Milan Goswami, in 2013. She also founded Vintage India NYC in 2014.
