Autumn equinox Kirtan with Sun Hyland at Shining Light Yoga Northcote

Autumn Equinox Kirtan with Sun Hyland

We invite you to come join us for an evening of blissful mantra music to celebrate the Autumn Equinox!

Autumn Equinox is traditionally a time to release what is no longer needed and to sit in gratitude for all our blessings. A moment to pause and reflect to prepare us for the inward journey of winter.

Singing together is a wonderful way to connect to the heart and move beyond the mind. Through sound and vibration we come together as one voice, powerful and rejuvenating.

Sun's guitar and voice will be accompanied by Bonny Howarth on harmonium and voice. We will sing simple mantras from the yogic traditions.No experience is necessary.

Come and sing with him and embrace your bliss!

What is Kirtan?
Kirtan is a simple yogic practice of singing together. The kirtanist guides the group in the singing of mantras (which can be translated as "mind tools") The mantras, derived from a variety of traditions, celebrate various hindu deities and prayers. Beyond their meanings, the mantras are tools to focus the mind and when sung repeatedly draw us into a deep meditative state, enhanced by the deep breathing that singing facilitates. Powerful and rejuvenating, kirtan can also be lots of fun!
