Adam Bauer - Return to the Sacred '2020

Tracks list

MEET ADAM
Adam spent much of his childhood on a bicycle exploring Harvard Square,
absorbing the rich cultural ferment of the 1970s. Unsatisfied with the
socio-economic offerings of the early 1980s, at 18 he took his vows of
renunciation, poverty and celibacy and lived as a monk for several years,
studying massage and healing work while living in a small but vibrant community
above a funky jazz and reggae club. He eventually rejoined the mainstream world
again, but never quite shook a core orientation of service and renunciation.

The later 1980s found him studying Hatha Yoga with Eddie Modestini–a
practice of solo-healing he experienced as a complement to the work of giving
and receiving healing touch with others–and discovering music, spending
15 years playing bass in The Equalites, a reggae-rock band he co-founded.

His post-monk plan of moving to a remote stretch of the California coast instead
turned into decades of vibrant life in rural Massachusetts, including
homesteading for nearly 30 years at Tree Toad Farm where he now offers session
work, special events and customized retreat accommodations for people hungry for
a nourishing alternative to the pace and practices of modern living.

Adam was blessed to spend many years playing bass in support of sacred chant
pioneer Krishna Das, and later with Bhakti Yoga legend Shyamdas, both of whom
nourished his love of sacred sound and the yoga of devotion. For the last
several years, and especially since Shyamdas’ passing in 2013, Adam has
been on the road offering his own voice, teachings and kirtan across the
Americas, Canada and India. A lifelong student of the devotional life, Adam
enjoys sharing and exploring perspectives on the path of love and devotion
wherever the opportunity arises.

Trained and certified as a massage therapist, ontological coach, and neo-tantric
practitioner, Adam brings a variety of experience into his coaching and hands-on
session work. A longtime student of the I Ching, sacred sexuality and sacred
song, Adam works to synthesize and integrate life in a body with love, healing
and devotion. With kindness, humor and sensitivity, Adam brings his whole self
to his coaching and consulting work, marrying passion, discipline and
inspiration into a unique and potent offering.
