About this Event
Join us for Friday Night Kirtan - a beautiful and heart opening practice of call and response!
Come experience the magic of devotional chanting at Soma Yoga & Wellness! Rooted in ancient yogic traditions, Kirtan uses sacred mantras set to music, creating an uplifting and meditative experience that invites inner peace and connection. No experience is necessary—come as you are and let the music guide you into a state of bliss. The evening will be lead by Christopher Rhodes and Vaidehi Amair. Delicious refreshments from Gopala Foods will be served after. All are welcome!
