Kirtan Creating Community through Singing Chanting and Making Music

Join us for a a day of chanting, mantras, and sacred songs led by Vishuddha.
🙏🏼
A kirtan is a sort of singing circle or gathering where people get together to chant mantras and other songs and poetry in a call-and-response format. The word kirtan comes from Sanskrit and means either ‘narrating of an idea’ or ‘story or to praise the divine’. Because of this style, it is not necessary to know the lyrics beforehand. Everyone is encouraged to sing along in the kirtan, and the aim is to create a collective voice, where one doesn’t hear his or her own voice anymore.

We will begin with a vegetarian lunch.
And follow up with a drum circle fireside.
