On a winter’s eve illuminated by the silvery light of the full moon, come commune in a winter prayer: Kakao & Kirtan! In celebration of a full rotation around the sun of the collaborations of Kakao & Kirtan ceremonies, we are EXPANDING the experience, bringing this sacred, joy-filled medicine to Baltimore. We open the prayer with a gentle communion with sacred plant medicine Grandmother Cacao, led by Becca Steinbach, opening our hearts to the magic of togetherness and the mystery of Spirit. Hearts open & alive, we flow into an activating, expanded Kirtan led by Adam Kandel and the Rhizomes! A full band experience, this kirtan will be filled with a soul animating life force that will infuse you with the exact medicine that you need!
Winter, the quieter season of the year, is not only the time to be within, it is also a time to bring hearts together in a warm, cozy, welcoming, beautiful, loving space. Let’s savor the sweetness of connecting circles & communities - a night of soul families cross-pollinating! Hearts uniting, come connect sing, dance & move some energy (let’s not be TOO still in winter ? )!
What is Kirtan? Call and response style of devotional singing. You will experience a variety of devotional songs including Sanskrit mantras, medicine songs, and more. Call and response style requires no knowledge of lyrics. Many songs will be sung Kirtan style, others will be sung all together. Kirtans and song circles require no experience/skill in singing! It’s a time to play with allowing your voice to express, be heard, and join other voices.
Come and sing your heart full!
