No singing experience necessary. just an open heart and mind.

Mantra — words and sounds that vibrate at the highest level of awareness. It is an effortless and joyful way to meditate. We simply allow the music and mantra to do its magic. This magic is the Yoga of Bhakti or devotion!

Mantra healing is the practice of using a combination of sound, vibration, visualization, and our own unique healing instrument –our voices– to heal the body and the mind. The practice of chanting (and singing!) mantras can tone the body, alleviate depression and anxiety, calm the nervous system, restore health, and increase cognitive function. It’s a very potent practice.
Singing kirtan is not about singing “well” or perfectly, but about the sacred act of using your own voice to connect with the divine. It’s a very liberating practice for those who are uncomfortable with their own voices.

Music bypasses the thinking mind, the worried mind, and goes straight to that part of the brain where the emotions reside. The musical meditation of kirtan soothes the nervous system. Kirtan calms the mind without struggling to concentrate.

Because kirtan has its roots in India, many of the songs are sung in Sanskrit or Gurmukhi, the language of ancient India, the language of mantra. David leads the chants in a call-and-response style. He calls out a line and the participants respond back.

Kirtan is a bit like singing around a yogic campfire – creating feelings of oneness and joy. As you sing with each other in a group, you may experience a deep connection with each other, the self and the light within, the soul. This oneness and heart connection is one of the greatest gifts of this practice. When the music stops, the mind is silent and calm.

No singing experience is necessary. All ages welcome.

Beloved, come join us for a Summer Solstice Gathering at Perennial Yoga - "Growing the Field." We will gather for a meal, connection, and Kirtan!

There is no charge for this event - but donations are requested to Bike the Barns... A cycling fundraiser that brings over 1,000 people together each year to celebrate local farms, enjoy delicious food, and build community support.

Schedule:
5:30 pm
A Table of Belonging
Sharing a Meal Together
We'll begin by sharing a vibrant meal of traditional Mexican cuisine, prepared by a member of our extended community. This is more than dinner together - it's a celebration of culture, connection, and our collective roots. It's a way to honor the mosaic of traditions that make up our shared home.

6:30 pm
Tending the Field Together
Community Reflection and Dialogue
After we eat, we'll gather in circle to reflect, relate, and reweave. Through guided conversation and honest listening, we'll reflect on what's beginning to take shape, what's still unclear, and what may need new soil, more light, or deeper tending. This is our space to speak from the heart and tend the field together.

7:30 pm
Devotion in Full Bloom
Attuning Our Hearts
We'll close the evening with our beloved Supersonic Soul Circle leading us in Kirtan - Kirtan or Kirtana (Sanskrit: कीर्तन; IAST: Kīrtana) is a Sanskrit word that means "narrating, reciting, telling, describing" of an idea or story. It's a beautifully soulful live musical adventure, spanning the spectrum of emotions and intensities, with mindfulness. We will call to you with our musical ideas and invite you to respond in whichever way moves you. Meditate, sing, play, and dance the names of the divine within yourself and in our circle. Our approach to Kirtan is modern, with playfulness, intentionality, and improvisation as major themes.
