2-Day Kirtan &amp; Bhakti Workshop
with Akari Tamura

Mantra • Devotion • Sacred Sound

♱⋰ ⋱✮⋰ ⋱♱⋰ ⋱✮⋰ ⋱♱⋰ ⋱✮⋰


For over 10 years in Koh Phangan, Akari has been sharing this signature immersion — where philosophy meets music and devotion becomes embodied through voice and sound.


You may join:
✨ Day 1 only (foundation experience)
✨ Or both days (deeper musical &amp; leadership immersion)

Day 1 stands complete on its own with theory + devotional voicework to open your voice in the most natural way.
Day 2 expands into bhakti pracdtice, instruments - music tutorial and holding kirtan space.

No musical experience needed.
No need to be a singer.
Come as you are.

&lt;&lt; What previous participants says about this workshop &gt;&gt;
"Sitting with Akari for her Kirtan workshop was a beautiful experience. I had an urge to deepen my understanding of the practice and to improve my singing, and with the help of her wisdom and magic this is exactly what happened. Highly recommended for anyone." ~ James M.

"I love Akari's Voice, her Energy, her Kirtan, her yoga classes and her whole being. I go to her Kirtans all the time and i was lucky to attend her Kirtan Workshop. If you love Kirtan and if you wanna dive deeper into it, learn more about the Mantras, the Deities, the songs and their stories, open your voice, gain more openness and confidence in singing then go to this workshop. We had beautiful 3 days together with so much joy and singing from the heart. And Akari has such a big knowledge and wisdom about yoga and mantras, its so inspiring to listen to her. I am feeling super thankful for this opportunity." ~ Linda Lynn



✿ About the Facilitator
Originally from Japan, Akari Tamura has been studying and living the path of Bhakti Yoga for over 15 years and leading kirtan internationally for more than 12 years.

A lifelong musician, author of the “Mantra Song Book,” and professional vocal coach, she weaves sacred knowledge with grounded musical training. Her work is not conceptual — it is lived practice.

She currently offers weekly kirtan at Orion Healing Center (Sundays 19:30–21:00, 22 Feb – 22 March 2026).

As she is only passing through Koh Phangan, this is a rare opportunity to join this immersion here.
