# Event Details - **Event Name**: Christmas Eve Kirtan: Music, Meditation and a Plant-Based Feast - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 24 Dec, 2025 at 06:00 pm – Wed, 24 Dec, 2025 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: Open your heart, enter a sanctuary of spiritual sound & experience the peace that comes from immersion in these powerful healing vibrationsAbout this EventJoin us to open your heart, enter a sanctuary of spiritual sound and experience the profound peace and joy that comes from singing together as a community and immersing ourselves in these powerful healing vibrationsWhat it's all about: Kirtan is a call and response musical meditation from the yoga tradition, considered the most potent form of meditation in this day and age. Bathing in and singing these powerful transcendental sound vibrations cleanses the heart and mind and brings peace to the soul.We’ll share a Christmas-inspired plant-based feast at the start of the program made with love by our volunteer community. We cook exclusively vegetarian and will have vegan and gluten free options. At 7pm, we’ll open our meditation with a guided breathing practice and a resonant mantra circle that takes you deep into a meditative space. Then, sing along with ancient mantras in a call and response format. We’ll mix it up with some other seasonal sing-alongs and a heart-cleansing guided meditation. Expect some general silliness as well as opportunities to drop into reverence.Beginners highly encouraged, all ages, voices and experiences welcome!All the details:Address: Bridgespace, 133 SE Madison Street, Portland, OR 97214Time: Wednesday December 24th, 6-9PMHow to find us: We’re across from the WonderLove food carts.
