KIRTAN by Candlelight at The Birdhouse

This evening is an invitation to pause — to settle into the body, to breathe more deeply, and to come together in a simple, heart-led way.

Gathering in person matters.
Beyond belief systems or differences in perspective, we come together to remember our shared humanity — and our belonging to one another and to this living planet. This candlelit kirtan is a simple, intimate home gathering for neighbours, friends, and kindred souls — a pocket of time devoted to spirit, song, and community.

Now more than ever, gathering in person matters.
Beyond spiritual beliefs or political perspectives, we come together to remember that we belong to one another — and to this living planet. We are brothers and sisters by soul design.

Kirtan is a traditional practice from the Bhakti yoga lineage, centred around call-and-response chanting of sacred mantras. You don’t need to know the words, the melodies, or how to “sing well.”

This is not about performance.
It’s about participation.

Through shared sound and rhythm, the mind softens, the nervous system settles, and presence gently takes the lead. As voices rise and fall together, something ancient awakens — a felt sense of unity, of shared heartbeat, of inner light being remembered through song.

You are welcome to sing loudly, softly, imperfectly — or simply listen and receive. If you have a voice, you belong.

This gathering takes place at The Birdhouse — a home that has quietly become a place of meditation, healing, art, and community over the years. It’s a lived-in, love-held space where people come to exhale, soften, and feel less alone.

Candles will be lit.
Shoes off. Phones away.
Come as you are.

Through her offerings, Chelsey shares kirtan as a way of shaping how we listen, how we soften, and how we meet life — with peace, presence, and an open heart.

This evening is a gentle co-creation between Chelsey and host , who has long held space through art, sound, and community gatherings rooted in love.
