About this Event
Mantra Flow is a music meditation from the yoga tradition. Also known as kirtan, it is considered the most potent form of meditation in this day and age. Singing along with and dancing to these powerful transcendental sound vibrations washes away all fear and anxiety and helps us open our hearts, experience unconditional love and come fully into the present moment.
Mantra Flow is a fun, guided, full body meditation that meets you wherever you’re at. You can come chill out and relax in a pillow pile, or move your body and engage your voice, be in your own meditative space or dance with friends.
We’ll open our meditation with a guided breathing practice and a resonant mantra circle that takes you deep into a meditative space. Then, we’ll ride a wave of spiritual sound vibration as we sing along with and move to ancient mantras set to live, original dance music.
Open your heart, find your soul voice and dance with abandon as you get swept away by the healing vibrations and hypnotic rhythms of a spiritually inspired soundscape. By engaging our body, mind and heart in this purifying meditation, we can come fully into the present moment and discover the love and joy that is our eternal nature.
Beginners highly encouraged, all ages, voices, abilities and experiences welcome!

Food: We serve out dinner between 6:15-7pm. If you’d like a plate, please arrive in time to be done eating by 7pm. All our food is made and offered with love by our volunteer community. We serve dinner because we want people to be able to come right after work, because it’s a wonderful way to build community and because in the kirtan tradition sharing food that’s been offered with love (called prasadam) is a purifying, meditative activity. We cook plant-based, strictly vegetarian and usually vegan. We will always have vegan options.
How to support: A sliding scale $10-30 suggested donation helps us cover the costs of the venue and food, as well as other ongoing costs, and is always deeply appreciated.
