About this Event
On December 5, we gather in a candlelit setting for our monthly heart-opening Kirtan.
This month we’re happy to welcome back our friends & incredible musicians and singers/songwriters Lesley and Misty. We are looking forward to sharing ancient chants and original songs in an uplifting musical mantra meditation experience with you! Please join us for our final Kirtan Club of 2026!
No experience needed. Let’s feel the rhythm, chant, connect & uplift together! Kirtan is more than music. It's a powerful practice that calms the mind, opens the heart, and deepens our connection to the Divine. One of our favorite parts is the community connection that Kirtans create! Let the sacred sounds uplift your spirit and fill you with peace.
Join Merry and friends monthly at Kirtan Club (the 1st Saturday of each month) in the exploration and passionate practice of chanting the Divine Names from the Bhakti Tradition. Kirtan is a form of interactive musical mantra meditation.
Merry started Kirtan Club in 2018 and has nurtured Encinitas’s kirtan community ever since!

Prasad (blessed sweets & fruits) are offered after Kirtan

About the Facilitator:
Merry has been practicing yoga since moving to California from the East Coast in 2003. What began as a way to support her marathon running grew into a deep appreciation for yogic practices and philosophy. She is highly trained and certified as a C-IAYT Yoga Therapist, E-RYT 500 teacher, and YACEP education provider.
“Yoga has expanded my awareness; I live from a more heart-centered place than ever before. It is an incredible honor to share it.”
Of the many yogic paths, she feels most connected to Bhakti Yoga (the yoga of devotion) —leading Kirtan, training others, and founding The Soul of Yoga’s monthly Kirtan Club in 2018. Join her the 1st Saturday of each month!
She is also a Direct Divine Light Healer, Reiki Master Teacher, Certified Metaphysician, and a gifted Sound Healer, offering a compassionate space for students to explore the connection of mind, body, and spirit. She shares her gifts in public classes and private 1:1 sessions.
Outside the studio, Merry loves traveling (especially bhakti travel!) , the outdoors, Kirtans, and hugs.
