Shehera Mocellin and Taylor Barnes join us on today's episode. Shehera is a qualified Nutrition and Holistic Health Coach who helps people discover their inner strength to recover from physical, mental, and emotional ailments. She assists people in rediscovering their pleasure and magic to harmonize their hearts and actions and reclaim their path to purpose. Taylor Barnes has been engrossed in music since his grandfather taught him how to play the guitar when he was a toddler. When he discovered the didgeridoo, his love of music and sound grew. His connection to this spiritual instrument was immediate, as Taylor learned to play after borrowing one for a few months from a friend. Soon after, he began playing with friends during yoga sessions and performed at Bhakti and Shakti Fest alongside Larisa Stow and the Shakti Tribe, as well as other sound healers. He hosts sound healing events and collaborates with other healers across California when he isn't playing with musicians, and he uses sound and vibrations to help people with neurological diseases.

We recently went on a trip to visit Paris and Amsterdam to soak up the culture and take some time to reflect on the end of the year. One of those days was a workshop we were part of at Lycee Autogere de Paris High School, that really expanded our idea of what is possible with Eayikes. It was all thanks to our old friend Flo, who we met at Shaktifest, a yoga festival a few years ago. It was beautiful day of connecting and gaining more insight into Paris, and our world's overall.

Sridar received a transmission 8 years ago to start a transformational festival of yoga, Kirtan, and workshops as a path to spiritual discovery. Today BhaktiFest is thriving with 2 festivals a year and thousands of attendees from around the world at the Joshua Tree Retreat center. Here's his story.

Meet Sridar, the founder of Bhakti and Shakti Fest, transformational yoga festivals in Joshua Tree, CA.

While hundreds are practicing yoga and singing kirtan, Sridhar and I find a quiet place to sit down and do a podcast in the middle of the annual Shakti Fest festival in Joshua Tree, California. Our conversation takes on a wide biographical tone in that I used Sridhar's amazing life as the backdrop for a discussion on the practice of yoga, the wisdom of Bhakti and the complicated nature behind this whole guru thing. Sridhar has one of the most colorful lives I've ever come across and I can say without any ego, that's saying a lot.  While many people may know him as the Godfather of Bhakti Fest, Sridhar Silberfein has a long and storied history in the spirituality and health and wellness communities. He arranged to have Swami Satchidananda on stage at Woodstock to lead the Western world’s first mass Sanskrit chanting. And since the 1970s, one of the first stops in the US for many great spiritual teachers has been the Center for Spiritual Studies, a nonprofit organization Sridhar founded. Sridhar’s mission for everyone he meets or influences is to provide assistance to go deeper into Sadhana (or spiritual practice)—even if it requires a dose of tough love. www.bhaktifest.com

Larisa is a dynamic singer/songwriter who transitioned from pop to inspirational Kirtan music after 9/11 effected her.

Listen to Larisa perform live with Benj Clark from her […]

Listen in as Sister Jenna welcomes Sridhar Silberfein and Sara Ivanhoe who are joining us from Shakti Fest 2015, being held in Joshua Tree, California.  Sridhar, the founder of Bhakti Fest, has been on his spiritual journey for many years.  He has studied hatha yoga with the Indian master, Swami Satchidananda, taught yoga at the revered Integral Yoga Institute and opened socially conscious businesses such as "The Food Chakra," one of the first Natural foods stores in the U.S. He also produced the docudrama, "River of Love," on the life of Amma and has helped to launch the careers of many world music and kirtan artists including Krishna Das, Jai Uttal and Bhagavan Das. In 2009, he started Bhakti Fest in Joshua Tree, California, which has now grown to three festivals yearly. For info & upcoming events, visit www.bhaktifest.com Sara Ivanhoe is the Yoga Spokesperson for Weight Watchers.
