By Mother Gopi Gita
On Tuesday, October 17, Gopi Gita Schomaker, aka Mother Gopi Gita, Founder of Leadership Parenting, presented a western song, bhakti mantras and Leadership Parenting to a full concert hall at the Portland House of Music. This was the culmination of many months of internal work. A live band with drums, two guitars, keyboard, trumpets and more, accompanied the performance. Gopi Gita is a leader in ISKCON, coaches parents and educators internationally, and has served children directly in the classroom for over 20 years. We have included her reflection on the experience below:
“Did you know when you speak, there’s a hush across the entire room?” Danika Zoe whispers in Gopi’s ears, as she wraps her arms around her in love. Danika is an executive and leadership coach, guiding overfunctioning women in corporate spaces for more than 10 years.
Those were the first personal words Gopi heard as she started her preparation at Rockstar Camp, a leadership empowerment program directed by Megan Jo Wilson, inspirational coach to thousands. For years, Megan Jo has pushed American women to be seen, to step out of their comfort zones, and to process powerful emotions through somatic movement. It is transformational.
Kelley Provost’s big squeezable hugs are the first ones Gopi experiences as she enters the cozy home where the rockstars will prepare. Kelley is owner of a Montana Life Coaching company, and has also triumphed over cancer. She’s been Gopi’s cheerleader from day one – “I can’t wait to meet you,” she said repeatedly in Zoom sessions. All the sisters hug Gopi one by one.
