Kirtan at The Lake Harriet Spiritual Community

The Invitation:

Please join us on the second Sundays of the Month (November 8th) from 7:00-8:30pm for Kirtan at the Lake Harriet Spiritual Community. Group chanting and meditation is planned for around 60 to 90 minutes.

For seating there are many comfy padded chairs available. There is open floor space in the front, and some large pillows are available as well.

About Kirtan:

Kirtan weaves music and mantra together as a part of Bhakti yoga, the yogic path of divine love and devotion. We'll be chanting and connecting to our hearts through music, poetry, and the sounds of the voice, violin and guitar. Featuring Jordan Lawrence on Guitar and Vocals, and Peter Clausen on Violin.

All faiths and cultural backgrounds are welcome as we explore Sanskrit mantras fused with heartfelt poetry and prayers. Donations are appreciated and accepted to support the musicians and the Lake Harriet Spiritual Community. No one turned away due to lack of funds.

About The Musicians:

Jordan Lawrence (Jordan Love and Peace) is a musician and poet who uses word and sound as vehicles for connection to himself and the moment. He has been creating and facilitating spaces for healing through music and meditation since 2020.
He has attended workshops with Krishna Das, Girish, David Newman, and local Kirtan artists throughout the Midwest. He offers and explores the healing modalities that have been the most impactful for his healing journey, primarily focusing on community collaborations and healing through sacred sounds and songs.

Peter is an incredibly talented musician and violinist, who has shared his "Kirtan Violin" style with local and travelling musicians for many years. He and Jordan have collaborated for over one hundred kirtan gatherings and song circles since 2020 at local yoga studios and spiritual centers, including: Greenway Yoga, Healing Elements (now Carpe Diem Yoga Studio), The Saint Paul Yoga Center, and the Lake Harriet Spiritual Community.
