Saturday, January 17, 2026 at 7:00pm **Save the date!**
Gather with Audrey Causilla and her ensemble, MEKALA, for their 1st community kirtan of 2026! Kirtan is a blissful evening of music and mantra, where Audrey will guide you through call and response chanting in community. No experience necessary.
Tickets: $25 (cash or Venmo at the door)
A truly unique musical and meditative experience, kirtan quiets the mind and opens the heart, aligning our innermost Self deeply into the present moment, whether one is singing or just listening or basking in the mantra and sound. Merging Sanskrit and English mantras with melody, flutes and vibrant drumming, Audrey's chants encompass a range of sounds from East to West, blending moments of raga with her own evocative piano harmonies and melodies.
Audrey (on vocals, harmonium, piano) will be joined by Johnny Ruzsa (flutes), and Zach Mechlem (guitars & percussion). Johnny and Zach are world musicians who, with Jim Feist, perform as Mohenjo Daro.
