with Divine Resonance, Shell Andréa and Anton Aguiar
Join us for a heart-opening afternoon of Bhakti Kirtan — the joyful practice of call-and-response chanting — led by two great Canadian Kirtan groups: Divine Resonance (Ontario) and Shell Andréa (visiting from Manitoba). Set in the acoustic beauty of the Hut at Stream, this collaborative event invites you to sing, sway, or simply soak in the vibration.

Join us this October for a 6-day silent insight meditation retreat.
Step out of the noise of daily life and settle into stillness. In the quiet rhythm of retreat, we’ll steady the heart and mind, and begin to see more clearly into the nature of things—the deep understanding that all things arise in dependence, are without fixed identity, and need not be clung to.

Surrender and rest yourself in a soundscape shaped by the resonance of crystal singing bowls and the subtle chime of bamboo koshi bells. Allow gentle layers of vibration to carry you inward, softening the mind and creating space for ease, clarity, and relaxation.
The practice of metta, or loving-kindness, helps cultivate compassion starting at the source: with yourself. It’s not always easy. For many of us, receiving love — even from our own hearts — can feel unfamiliar or out of reach. But with time and practice, it becomes a way to meet yourself with tenderness and build the inner conditions for ease, connection, and resilience.
This 9-minute meditation is a small lamp for your own path. Something to return to when you need reminding that you, too, are worthy of love and care.
Inner peace isn’t just a poetic idea—it’s a real possibility. It’s not something that will happen at some future time, when we get all our ducks in a row. Neither is it a state of constant bliss or managing to avoid hardship.
Inner peace is a steady and growing sense of ease that can carry us through the unpredictability of life, moment by moment. It doesn’t happen overnight, but with guidance, practice, and support, inner peace is something we can cultivate.
