Mother Tongue: Soul Song Meditation & Kirtan Celebration

Mantra Meditation. Roots Music. Communal Song and Prayer. Wild Dance. True Trance. Sober Freedom.

We’re in a time of deep division. Surface fixes aren’t working. We need a transformation from within. We need a potent medicine. We need a good crazy.

You’re invited to join in a joyful, music-infused meditation on spiritual sound (kirtan) that powerfully cleanses the mind, awakens the heart and connects us soul to soul.

Our meditations are simple Sanskrit mantras set to easy singalongs in a group call and response. These prayers are the sound manifestation of pure, unconditional love. Carefully passed down since time immemorial through an unbroken lineage of teachers and students from around the world, they are described as the most potent vibrations of spiritual energy in existence.

Singing, dancing and praying together builds spiritual community, erases anxiety, powerfully regulates our nervous system and allows us to tap into a well of deep inner peace untouched by the chaos of the world.
Sanskrit is the root sound of all other language and originally it was sung rather than spoken. This ancient tradition is meant to be adapted for time and place, to be accessible to everyone regardless of where we’re from or what we believe. This tradition is not of one culture or another. It is our shared, living culture. These spiritual sound vibrations are our mother tongue. Let’s sing them together.

Beginners highly encouraged, all ages, voices, abilities and experiences welcome!
