Vibrating Our Roots: Gong in Quilombo
What do we do?
The goal is to expand what we have already begun by equipping the space with a basic sound system for Kundalini Yoga classes, gong, and kirtan and offer events for residents who lack financial resources from other regions of the district.

The main objective is to offer inclusion and equity to this minority group that until now had no access to Kundalini Yoga due to social, economic and access opportunities issues. Another objective is to establish the practice of meditation with this group that lives in the village, specifically the quilombola community, for their sense of belonging, collective bond, and empowerment through the practice of Kundalini Yoga and later open this practice to other people. We have also provided people with the opportunity to experience a kirtan and a langar, bringing the power of Naad through the recitation of mantras and the power of inclusion and equality of langar, the shared food.
What do we need the most?
The biggest challenge now is to publicize and encourage the community to get involved in the project and give it visibility, and the technological structure (cell phone with a good camera) to promote engagement from the community.
