Carly and I met through Mantra Meditation, or Kirtan, and have also crossed paths at 'conscious' (sober) music festivals, outdoor 'ecstatic' (free-form) dance events and gatherings with mutual friends. This is the first time we sit down for a chat outside of organised social events and discover myriad points of mutual connection. And, she is a GrEaT SiNgEr!

Mantra Monday's is held weekly at Ashtanga YogaMoves, Paddington.

Jeremy is a friend and a PhD candidate at The University of New South Whales, studying the phenomena of mind wondering.
