Doors open at 2pm to enjoy fellowship, with the music starting around 2:30pm, and potluck afterwords.
Joining in a circle of communion in this beautiful practice of singing from our hearts we call Kīrtan, is one of the many ways to bring in renewing, transformative energy reconnecting us with the Divinity that resides within each of us.
The ancient chants, mantras, verses of poetry sung in Sanskrit language carry specific vibrations via the sound of the words, and so even if we do not know the exact translation or pronunciation of the words, we still receive the benefits. The energy is all around and within, the music, the rhythm, the repetition takes you in.
You can clap, get up and dance, hum quietly for yourself, or out loud, whatever resonates. In Kīrtan no one cares how your voice sounds like, it is not a performance but a journey into the self through the practice of listening and singing. All voices merging to become One Voice.
“Kīrtan is a means of finding our way back to the core of our Being, to our heart, and to our connection with each other.” -Ragani
We will have few percussion instruments to share, but feel free to bring your own to join us playing.
Please bring a dish/snacks to share if staying for potluck.
Suggested Donation: $25/$20 for members of the Shambhala Center.
In Love, Light and Sound,
