~Harmonize inner energies and experience collective radiance~

Kirtan is a call and response communal chanting experience, part of the Bhakti tradition, which centers love and devotion. Kirtan is different from intellectual pursuits of wisdom and knowledge, as it bypasses the thinking mind and opens directly into an embodied experience of peace, bliss, and oneness. Kirtan is also part of Nāda Yoga and Mantra Yoga, the yoga of sound and recitation of sacred mantra.  Sound waves and the sacred aspects of Sanskrit, and other sacred languages, open the chanter to the powerful embodiment of sound itself, impacting the body, mind and spirit.

What to expect:
* Kirtan melodies (for the most part) are intentionally simple and based on drones to allow the chanter and community to merge and settle deeply into the sacred current of sound (nāda yoga) and peace, bliss, and devotion (Bhakti Yoga).

* Like everything we do in life, we meet ourselves through our practice.  We bring ourselves as we are, with all our joy and sorrow, confusion and wisdom, and allow the practice to gently transform us. Through the acts of chanting, reciting sacred prayers, invoking peace and prosperity, transforming suffering, immersing ourselves in sound, and being in community, we release blocks, harmonize inner energies and experience collective radiance. 

Come and experience the power and beauty of kirtan.

The kirtan will be followed by a mini-sound bath for restoration and integration of the beautiful qualities just cultivated. Feel free to bring your favorite blanket and/or a meditation cushion. Mats, blankets and blocks provided.

We hope to see you there!

*We gently request that you REGISTER at no cost below if you can, so we have an idea of how many beautiful folks to expect. Thank you!
