Peter Makena
Peter Makena learned with Sufi teachers the use of the voice in songs, chants and prayer. Today, Peter leads singing groups and facilitates countless gatherings, joining people in song and prayer to create “meetings of the heart.” The greatest influences on his work with voice and presence were Sufi meditations and chants, as well as Indian kirtan and ghazal-style songs. For four years Peter led daily singing groups in a meditation ashram in India. He lives in northern California and is on tour at yoga and meditation centers, music festivals and meditation retreats throughout the United States and in Europe. Peter has published nine CDs of his music.
