Candlelit Kirtan Club

On Dececmber 6th, we'll gather in a candlelit setting for our monthly heart-opening Kirtan experience. This month we’re happy to welcome back our dear friend & incredible musician Scott, who leads regular kirtans at Sunset Cliffs. Please come chant with us!

No experience needed—just an open heart. Let’s chant, connect & uplift together! HARIBOL! Kirtan is more than music—it's a powerful practice that calms the mind, opens the heart, and deepens our connection to the Divine. One of our favorite parts is the community connection that Kirtans create! Let the sacred sounds uplift your spirit and fill you with peace.

Join Merry and friends monthly at Kirtan Club (1st Saturday of each month) in the exploration and passionate practice of chanting the Divine Names from the Bhakti Tradition. Kirtan is a form of interactive musical mantra meditation.

Merry started Kirtan Club in 2018 and has nurtured Encinitas’s kirtan community ever since!

Please arrive 10 mins early. Prasad (blessed sweets) provided after kirtan.

About the Facilitator:

Merry has been practicing yoga since moving to California from the East Coast in 2003. What began as a way to support her marathon running grew into a deep appreciation for yogic practices and philosophy. She is highly trained and certified as a C-IAYT Yoga Therapist, E-RYT 500 teacher, and YACEP education provider.

“Yoga has expanded my awareness; I live from a more heart-centered place than ever before. It is an incredible honor to share it.”

Of the many yogic paths, she feels most connected to Bhakti Yoga (the yoga of devotion) —leading Kirtan, training others, and founding The Soul of Yoga’s monthly Kirtan Club in 2018. Join her the 1st Saturday of each month!

She is also a Direct Divine Light Healer, Reiki Master Teacher, Certified Metaphysician, and a gifted Sound Healer, offering a compassionate space for students to explore the connection of mind, body, and spirit. She shares her gifts in public classes and private 1:1 sessions.

Outside the studio, Merry loves traveling (especially bhakti travel!) , the outdoors, Kirtans, and hugs.
