Kirtan / Mantra & Cacao // Giita Rani & Sangha
Welcome to an evening of devotional mantra song, taking us on a journey back to the heart. You are invited to use your own voice and join us in song, or rest silently into the musical journey. In between the sound of voices there will be space to land in deep inner piece to the sound of singing bowls and other meditative instruments.
This experience is guided by Nora on harmonium & Christian, both practicing yogies and devotional musicians. Nora has her inspiration from the ancient Bhakti practice of India, while Christian has his heart in the Buddhist path of Loving Compassion. We are also incredibly lucky to have the sweet voice of Giita Rani with us this evening, who has been in devotional service her entire life, creating and sharing inspiring music for many years.
You may feel her music here: https://www.facebook.com/giitarani/videos/765799823872879/?
To facilitate the journey back to the Heart, ceremonial cacao from the Central American jungle will be offered for purchase.

ABOUT KIRTAN
Blending mantra song and meditation this ancient practice of bhakti yoga was developed to clear the mind, open the heart and invite into ones life a tangible and intimate connection to deeper aspects of ourselves and of the universe. Between the chants we come back to silence, and share stories explaining the meaning of the mantras.
Kirtan is a co-creation where every voice is welcome. The mantras will be easy to follow, and no skills are required.
ABOUT CACAO
Ceremonial Cacao is a catalyst for opening the Heart, and has been used by the Mayan Indigenous people for millennia as a gentle support for going deeper into themselves.
