Healing Through Sound & Service with Marla Pelletier

In our premiere episode, we are joined by Marla Pelletier—founder, mindfulness expert, and yoga instructor—for an immersive dive into the transformative power of Kirtan as a vital coping strategy for the modern world. Marla shares her profound perspective on the musician’s role as an act of Seva, or selfless service, illustrating how sound transcends performance to become a shared offering of healing. We explore the "heart-opening" magic of the Kirtan Community Jam, a space where the isolation of loneliness is dissolved through the pure physical power of vibration. Marla explains how establishing a Daily Sadhana, or spiritual practice, can ground us, leading into a beautiful discussion on the collective energy generated when we raise our voices together. This communal experience creates a high-vibrational energy that lifts everyone up, proving that when we share our voices, we don't lose ourselves—we actually become more energized and connected to the whole.
