Kirtan

AUGUST KIRTAN

Jill Higgins and I are leading kirtans on the south shore! Here’s when and where to find us next for a special summer edition:

August 9, 6:30 – 9:30pm

Bachmans Beach, Second Peninsula.

Chants are provided, and cost is $15 suggested donation.

We’ll lead a kirtan for about 2 hours, then end with a drum circle. Please bring any rattles, shakers or drums, to participate in both parts!

Here’s a little demo of a new chant with the new harmonium!

We hope you can join us! Please send me a note if you plan to attend.

WHAT IS KIRTAN?

Kirtan, or yogic chanting, is a call-and-response form of chanting that is a type of yoga in itself. I has many of the mind-calming benefits of a yoga class or sitting meditation. By repeating mantras or words, you can release your mind from its daily chatter. This practice can have a powerful heart-opening effect as well.

Here are some pictures from our first event in November.
