Monthly Kirtan
February 22, 2015 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Join us in this community event where we will go deep into our hearts to find joy, lightness and connection while we sing together! Kirtan is traditional Indian style of call and response chanting with instruments that invokes a devotional mood (Bhavana). Collectively, voices fill the room and the energy centers in the body open as we chant to various gods and goddesses and energetic ways of being.
Said to be the quickest way into the heart and out of the mind, repeating mantras is a sincere form of celebratory meditation. Many states of being can be experienced during Kirtan including joy, immense happiness, deep peace, meditation, transcendence, connection, love and bliss!
This event will be casual and open to ALL people! The more the merrier! Whether you have experienced kirtan or not, you will enjoy yourself as you connect deeper on your spiritual path and to others in the room. NO SINGING background required! The quality of the voice is not the goal… We bypass the normal tendency to judge how “good” or “bad” we sound. We sing from a place of sincere devotion, heart-centeredness and soul connection! KIDS WELCOME! DANCING ENCOURAGED!
We are asking that people in our community to help lead a song or two! If you are interested in leading a song, PLEASE contact Jill Duncan at wellnessbyjillstl@gmail.com!
Chants can be in any language (English, Sanskrit, Spanish, etc) – we only ask that they be spiritual in nature, connective, meditative, inspirational or uplifting!! INSTRUMENTS highly encouraged but not required!
NO REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!
