Kirtan is an invitation to drop into the Heart and let it express itself through sound. You don’t need any prior experience or singing ability—this is not about performance. It’s about experience—allowing the power of mantra chanting and the Yoga of Sound to bring you into inner peace, a state of meditative absorption and an experience of heart-felt joy that springs from within.


~ MANTRA ~
Our practice will begin with the meditative practice of repeating a mantra 108 times which helps calm the mind and connect one to a deeper sense of presence. With each repetition, the mantra becomes an anchor, drawing the awareness inward and inviting a sense of peace and clarity.
The mantra will be chosen to attune to the energy of Spring Equinox.

~ KIRTAN ~
Kirtan is an invitation to drop into the Heart and let it express itself through sound. You don’t need any prior experience or singing ability—this is not about performance. It’s about experience—allowing the power of mantra chanting and the Yoga of Sound to bring you into inner peace, a state of meditative absorption and an experience of heart-felt joy that springs from within.
The experience is simple and profound: the kirtan leader sings a mantra, and the group responds, singing it back. A single chant may continue for ten or even twenty minutes, drawing us into deeper presence through repetition.
As we chant together, a sense of unity, love, and inner stillness emerges.
Kirtan is a universal, non-denominational practice—the song of the Soul.

~ CACAO ~
We will share a cup of ceremonial cacao as a heart-opening ally to deepen our meditation and chanting.
This cacao comes from Amma Cacao in India and will be offered as a gentle potentiator—nourishing the body and softening the heart into presence.
