When Michael Jaidev DeNicola asked if I'd contribute to this album, I HAD to say YES! Both my sons, my brother and sisters, many cousins and myself have garnered lifelong benefits from our experiences in the wilderness as children and teenagers. I can only imagine what it'll be like for kids with yoga added to the mix! What an inspired project.

"Today we are launching an amazing yoga and wilderness therapy program for teens called Wild Awakening, a program of Sat Nam Foundation. Think outward bound but with yoga, healthy food, and conscious teachings. We had 27 amazing musicians donate to a fundraising album to buy supplies, offer scholarships, and get this important program off the ground. Buy the album for the awesome music and support this incredible new program!"

"In turbulent times coupled with a boom in technology, it is becoming increasing obvious that youth are at-risk of isolation, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Sat Nam Foundation is looking to nourish our future through the youth. We have created a program, Wild Awakening, that will serve teenagers through an immersion in Kundalini yoga, meditation, wilderness expedition, and healthy food."

"Spirit Voyage and Sat Nam Foundation created this Kirtan Aid album in order to raise funding for supplies and to provide scholarships to those in need. Our goal is to offer the highest quality program with minimal cost to participants, so everyone can access it."
