Prince George, B.C.

August 28, 2022
CHANT YOUR HEART OPEN!
​
"Chant Your Heart Open!" is a warmly embracing and participatory sound experience that offers healing songs and melodic mantras to open your heart and enliven your spirit. It's for everyone!
Led by Wendy DeMos on vocals and guitar, her songs deeply celebrate life and support the body and heart to go within.
​
“By repeating the mantras and uplifting lyrics, we increase their power,” she says. "When we express our souls with these sounds, we tune into specific frequencies of consciousness — like a radio tuning into different stations — and we vibrate at the frequency of love."
Chant Your Heart Open gatherings support community, healing, compassion, and joy, dedicated not only to our own uplifting but to healing Mother Earth and to our larger human family.

KRISTA NOVA
Krista is based between Prince George and Vancouver, Canada, where she lives her heart’s calling to share the gifts of the Tantric Arts.
She coaches 1-on-1 clients and couples as well as teaching workshops, classes, and retreats to support her students in expanding beyond their limitations and in awakening their fullest potential.
In 2014, she co-founded the Heart of Tantra Festival, which occurs each summer in the Squamish Valley in British Columbia.

She typically spends winters in Rishikesh, India, sitting with her beloved teacher Prem Baba of the Saccha lineage and continuing her own inner work. She is currently committed to her training in Relational Somatic Therapy.
