About this Event
Let Your Heart Soar
Kirtan is a joyous form of meditation that combines music with hearing and singing sacred mantras. Singing these powerful transcendental sounds together frees our mind of stress and anxiety and awakens a deep sense of peace, connection, and joy.
The Kirtan Experience is the work of a growing collective of meditators, musicians, artists and friends from around the world who have been deeply touched by this practice and feel inspired to share it with others. These events are an offering from our hearts, and we keep the events free so that anyone can attend. Our goal is to rekindle joy, peace and true inner freedom in a world deeply in need of healing.
What You'll Experience
- Live, immersive musical meditation with vibrant visuals, guided by lifelong kirtan artists and musicians.
- Heartfelt singing of simple, powerful mantras that are easy to follow. No experience needed.
- A comfortable, welcoming space where you can sing, dance, or simply kick back and listen.
- A dynamic experience that flows between meditative moments and uplifting, energetic peaks.
- A chance to unplug, reset, and feel alive.
We welcome you to join us.
Meditation Meets Celebration
This is not a performance. It’s an enlivening experience created and shared by everyone who attends.
A Living Tradition
The gift we are sharing has been passed down with great care for over 500 years. Lovingly preserved in the lineage of Sri Krishna Chaitanya, the yoga sound is as spiritually potent and purifying today as it was centuries ago.
Everyone Is Welcome
Whether you're arriving with a light heart or a heavy burden, you are welcome here. In Kirtan, people come together across differences. It requires no agreement, belief, or explanation. Just come as you are and let the transcendental sound carry you into another world.
