Kishori Gopi, formally known as Kelly Skinner, is a spiritual teacher who is a conduit of divine love and a vehicle for Divine grace to heal and awaken. In this lifetime, her medicine is to help beings live radiantly and die gracefully through the practices of Bhakti Yoga, Meditation, Reiki, and End of Life Doula Work. She approaches both life and work with awareness, aliveness, and compassion. To her, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing another being remember and fall in love with their own true nature. As a Bhakti Yogi, teacher & devotee, an integral aspect of her practice is chanting and leading Kirtan in her community in Burlington, VT. She describes Kirtan as group prayer, and a call out together for divinity to manifest in the heart. Kishori teaches weekly yoga asana classes in Vermont, leads international yoga retreats, and offers free Kirtan’s with her Kirtan Band (Kishori & the Kartels). She also runs her own business in which she offers both group and 1-on-1 programs for deepening your spiritual practice, energetic healing, navigating grief/loss/death, and getting clear on your dharma. Through her teaching, she hopes to share the transformational effects of a practice rooted in Bhakti, divine love and devotion. As an End of Life Doula, she supports those who are actively dying, those who are supporting someone who is preparing for death, and those who desire to prepare for their own death (which is coming for all of us, at a time unknown to us). She works with people who are looking for support around their grief, and moving through and managing loss. In addition to being an End of Life Doula, she offers support to those grieving the loss of a loved one, losses of jobs, relationships, and sense of identity/self.

Gaura Vani was given the gift of devotional song from birth, raised with the music of the temple, and taught to sing and play beautiful instruments and dance for love and for God. He shares, “I am one of a group of children called gurukulis or those raised in the village of the guru. Even as children, we were aware that though it felt like we were partying when we played music, we were in the physical presence of God himself, who danced with us.” Gaura Vani travels the world sharing the mystical experience of kirtan and leading devotional music retreats. Gaura Vani is a multidisciplinary artist fluent in music, film, and visual arts. He is most known for his Mantra Music performances. Gaura Vani's events are unifying and transporting—a mix of participatory rhythm and song, story and dance. He has travelled in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia, performing both as a solo artist and with his sacred music ensembles “The Hanumen” and “Juggernauts.” Gaura Vani is also a co-founder of Chant4Change, a mantra-music festival held in Washington, D.C., on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. He lives in suburban D.C. with his wife, three kids, and a ferret.
