Experience the magic of kirtan in one unforgettable evening!
Weaving together melody, music and mantra with people responding to the chanting of the singer, clapping, swaying, dancing, kirtan is simultaneously meditative, exhilarating and enjoyable. Musical soundscapes and soft ambient lighting create an immersive meditative atmosphere, a peaceful sanctuary.
Kirtan is a powerful spiritual tool for healing and transformation that transports you to a place of deep inner peace and joy. As you immerse yourself in kirtan you feel a soothing embrace, a sense of belonging and unconditional love. Here, you can connect with your innermost self, nourish your spirit, and find solace amidst life's chaos.
A special feature of the evening will be a guided “Journey to Forgiveness” meditation, designed to open the heart and foster healing.
