I hope everybody joins myself and Grateful Music at what promises to be an exceptional event. Everybody goes back each year for a reason. Just look at all the reasons to go this year! Hope to see you on a month.

He sold all his possessions and moved from the suburbs of New York to the foothills of the Himalayas in search of happiness and a little-known saint named Neem Karoli Baba (or Maharajji). One Track Heart: The Story of Krishna Das follows Kagel’s journey to India and back, his struggles with depression and drug abuse, and his eventual emergence as Krishna Das — the world-renowned spiritual teacher, chant master and Grammy-nominated recording artist. Featuring interviews with Be Here Now author and spiritual guru Ram Dass, Grammy-winning producer Rick Rubin (Beastie Boys, Metallica, Johnny Cash), New York Times bestselling author Sharon Salzberg, and two-time Pulitzer Prize nominee Daniel Goleman, as well as a score by Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mascis and Devadas, One Track Heart is the inspiring story of how one man’s journey continues to transform countless lives. Following the film will be a Q&Amoderated by Gaia meditation teacher Mark Williams with Stephanie Schwartz, a Gaia yoga teacher and longtime kirtan practitioner, and Katie Wise, kirtan rocker of Bhakti Explosion, who are both performing at ARISE 2016 in the Gaia Yoga Sanctuary. Be sure to visit the Gaia Yoga Sanctuary new to ARISE this year!
