About East Coast Chant

 

East Coast Chant is a divinely-inspired contemporary tapestry of music, sound, chants, imagery, personal healing and planetary service woven with threads of light by everyone present. It’s an uplifting, educational, healing, expressive and participatory experience for everyone.

East Coast Chant builds on the powerful foundations of traditional chants from around the world to create a contemporary experience that embodies both established and emerging spiritual, metaphysical and scientific knowledge, practices and wisdom for this new millennium.

East Coast Chant offers tidbits of wisdom and opportunities for personal healing from the inside out. You choose what you wish to experience.

East Coast Chant is an opportunity for world service. As a group we remain awake and aware of our oneness in the Source of All There Is as we create a powerful energy field that we consciously use to send out waves of intentional energy and Light to heal ourselves, our loved ones, and the planet.

Why the name East Coast Chant? 

 

East Coast refers to the East Coast of the United States, though it could also represent the east coast of any continent. I chose ‘East Coast’ because I’ve lived in and around Boston Massachusetts my whole life so far, and this is where the concept was created. The Sun rises in the East so East Coast also conveys an idea of new beginnings and a force that is powerful, encompassing, fiery and central to life. Also, East Coast has a cool and contemporary sound that hopefully conveys the unplanned, improvisational nature of some of what happens.

 

I chose the word Chant rather than the word Music or Sound or Kirtan, or the name of a specific musical genre, because I’d like people to experience the unifying power and healing force of sacred sounds, syllables and intentions when heard, sung or spoken together in a group. East Coast Chant invites you to have both an intimate experience with your own spiritual nature and an entertaining one you can enjoy and lose yourself in for awhile.

Tonia Pinheiro is a multi-talented performer and a conglomerate of cultural and spiritual legacies and traditions so almost everything she does has many facets. Some refer to this kind of person as a Renaissance Soul. She was born in Boston, Massachusetts and her creative work is influenced by her Cherokee, African, East Indian, Irish, and German ancestors. She is a vehicle and vessel for the expression of her Soul’s mission, which placed her on the Ascension Path in her youth, and her Soul’s lineage. In addition to the influences of her genetic lineage, she sometimes expresses the cultural and spiritual traditions of other physical incarnations she has had in North Africa, the Middle East, Japan, Tibet, South America, and the South Pacific (to name a few). She has agreed to express all of who she is as a human and spiritual being in service to humanity and the planet. Click here for more About Tonia’s background.

 

This world is a tapestry of every conceivable type of being, place, thing, and experience. Each one of these individual expressions has an infinite number of subsets and variations that come into manifestation and dissolve again into the Void of Creation and the Oneness of the Ocean of Love. Humans choose and decide what that tapestry looks like. Let us make wise choices together. ~ Tonia
