Our hearts long to be in union with the Divine. This practice of devotional singing is the expression of our love for our Creator.

Coming together to sing is profoundly powerful and sacred. This is a common part of rituals and tradition across all cultures, religions and spiritual lineages. Our ancestors knew of the medicine that lives within the essence of a song and the joy and liberation that we can access through our voice. When we sing the names of the Divine in collective devotion we access ecstatic states of Divine Union, Eternal Presence and Unconditional Love. This is truly a beautiful way to share your heart and emotions with the Divine.

Kirtan is an ancient practice of singing mantras that originates from South India. The word ‘Kirtan’ is a Sanskrit word meaning to call, sing, praise, or glorify. It is said in Hindu texts that Kirtan itself is eternal, such that it has always existed. In our current understanding of the timeline it would appear that Kirtan started gaining momentum on the physical plane between the 6th - 15th centuries.

Kirtan is a call and response style of singing such that those in attendance can learn the songs as we go. The songs are fairly simple and you’ll learn them rather quickly!

We will be seated for the evening, so please bring a bolster or meditation cushion if you would like. The Heart Center also has plenty of bolsters & blankets.
