Whether singing deep soulful melodies or danceable chants\, Fraser/Rishi and Dana’s Kirtans are grounding and meditative\, as well as energizing and uplifting. \nTheir inner journey started many years ago\, but it really came to fruition after traveling to India in 2006 and discovering the power of Kirtan. Soon they met their spiritual teacher\, Mooji Baba\, from whom Fraser received the name Rishi. \nIn addition to regular Kirtans\, they host retreats and have shared their art and hearts across Canada\, as well as in Europe and India. Hearts calling is their call out to the world to connect and communicate with love and presence\, to inspire\, uplift and share the joy of chanting and soul expression. \nRishi (Fraser) has been teaching Qi Gong\, Tai Chi\, and Yoga for almost two decades now\, in classes and retreats. These practices have helped him heal from a serious brain injury and had a profound impact on his overall health and well-being.\nPut simply\, he loves these practices\, especially Qi Gong. It is from this joy of practice that he shares\, in a way that is fresh\, authentic and fun\, while also being deeply rooted in tradition. In Qi Gong\, he has benefitted from many teachers\, but is now studying under the mentorship of Andy Henry and Mimi-Kuo Deemer. \n“Look here and know who you are.  \nInstantly you will find freedom\, and this suffering will instantly stop.  \nThe only way is to look within.” \n– Papaji
