Audrey Causilla and her ensemble, MEKALA are so thrilled to return to Shine Yoga for a blissful evening of music and mantra! Audrey will guide you through call and response chanting in community, called kirtan. No experience necessary.
Tickets: $20 advance (by 5/2), $25 at door
A truly unique musical and meditative experience, kirtan quiets the mind and opens the heart, aligning our innermost Self deeply into the present moment, whether one is singing or just listening or basking in the mantra and sound. Merging Sanskrit and English mantras with melody, flutes and vibrant drumming, Audrey's chants encompass a range of sounds from East to West, blending moments of raga with her own evocative piano harmonies and melodies.
Audrey (on vocals, harmonium, piano) will be joined by Johnny Ruzsa (flutes), and Zach Mechlem (guitars & percussion). and Jim Feist (tabla).
