About this Event

You are invited to a Kirtan and chanting Session in the heart of Dublin City Centre! Kirtan is a spiritual practice at the core of devotional yoga. Immerse yourself in the sounds of the harmonium, the rhythmic clash of cymbals, and the resonances of the mridangam drum as we partake in our unique call-and-response chanting event.


Kirtan session: 4:00 – 4:30pm

Kirtan is a timeless spiritual practice at the heart of devotional yoga, using music and mantra to uplift the mind and open the heart. Immerse yourself in the gentle melodies of the harmonium, the rhythmic shimmer of cymbals, and the deep, grounding resonance of the mridangam drum as we come together in a joyful call-and-response chanting experience.

Kirtan meditation uses steady, rhythmic chanting to help the mind slow down and focus, making it easier to step out of habitual mental noise. The combination of repetition and live music creates a supportive structure that can help regulate breathing, settle the nervous system, and encourage a more grounded meditative state. Regular participation in Kirtan can support emotional balance and mental clarity, offering a practical way to release tension and reset after the demands of daily life. Many people experience a sense of lightness and renewed energy, alongside a quieter, more centred frame of mind.


Complimentary Chai and Cakes: 4:30pm-5:00pm

As the event draws to a close, we warmly invite you to stay for light refreshments and an informal chat about the spiritual path. To round off the afternoon, we’ll be serving freshly brewed chai (spiced tea) along with a selection of tasty homemade vegan cakes — a relaxed way to connect and unwind together.
