Join us for an afternoon of Kirtan, the practice of call and response chanting of mantras, rooted in the ancient Indian path of Bhakti Yoga. This timeless practice transcends words, weaving melody, rhythm, and vibration into a profound experience of connection and transformation.
Optional community potluck dinner to follow! Bring an open heart and a dish to share. 💜
Through the repetition of mantras, Kirtan quiets the mind and draws us into stillness. The vibrations of the chants reverberate through the body, dissolving energetic blocks, opening the heart, and awakening the Spirit. It is both a communal celebration and a deeply personal meditation, inviting you to let go, surrender, and connect to the Divine within.
Whether you are new to chanting or a longtime practitioner, Kirtan offers a space for healing, joy, and spiritual awakening. Come as you are and allow the power of mantra to guide you into a state of peace, love, and presence.
