Come for both, or just one of the offerings
~ KIRTAN ~
Kirtan is an invitation to drop into the Heart and let it express itself through sound. You don’t need any prior experience or singing ability—this is not about performance. It’s about experience—allowing the power of mantra chanting and the Yoga of Sound to bring you into inner peace, a state of meditative absorption and an experience of heart-felt joy that springs from within.
The experience is simple and profound: the kirtan leader sings a mantra, and the group responds, singing it back. A single chant may continue for ten or even twenty minutes, drawing us into deeper presence through repetition.
As we chant together, a sense of unity, love, and inner stillness emerges.
Kirtan is a universal, non-denominational practice—the song of the Soul.
~ TIME FOR PEACE ~ Meditative Music on Bansuri and Shakuhachi flutes ~
Join us for an evening of meditative music performed by Swami Madhuram Puri, featuring the Bansuri (Indian bamboo flute) and Shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute). The calming sounds of the flute encourage listeners to turn inward and find peace in the sacred space of the heart. This Nada Yoga concert provides an easy way to focus the mind, allowing feelings of peace and contentment to arise naturally.
~ CACAO ~
We will share a cup of ceremonial cacao as a heart-opening ally to deepen our meditation and chanting.
This cacao comes from Amma Cacao in India and will be offered as a gentle enhancer of the experience, nourishing the body and softening the heart into presence.

Everyone is welcome—any age, background, belief, or experience.This is a warm and open community gathering.
