Kirtan & Sound Healing with Geeti & Gyan, Mark & Radhika - Umina
Event description
Experience the joyful and transformative power of kirtan! This is a simple and engaging sound yoga practice incorporating mantra, music and meditation. Kirtan helps calm the mind and expand our heart energy and consciousness.
Kirtan can be practiced by anyone, regardless of whether you feel you can sing or not! No prior experience is necessary and all are welcome!!
Kirtan invites us to ‘sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think’ (Rumi). It helps to free ourselves from inhibitions and connect us with our innate flow of creative expression.
This is your personal connection to the divine and peace within you through your unique voice and heart, carried by the collective energy of the group and music.
The evening will conclude with a deeply soothing and integrating sound bath incorporating the celestial sound of the alchemy crystal bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, hand pan and flute.
We would love you to join Geeti and Gyan, Mark and Radhika Priya Devi Dasi for this wonderful opportunity to open and deepen into the love we are.
This will be the third time that Geeti and Gyan and Mark will be offering kirtan at the studio.

More about Kirtan:
Kirtan is a group call and response singing yoga practice that helps focus the mind, awaken our energy and open our heart. It incorporates mantra yoga, nāda yoga and bhakti yoga.
Kirtan can be practiced by anyone, regardless of whether you feel you can sing or not! No prior experience is necessary and all are welcome!!

The mantras we sing together are from a variety of cultural traditions which charge and vibrate our entire energy system, and help greatly uplift our emotions, mood and wellbeing.
Sanskrit mantras are the subtle sound vibrations of the universe and our bodies. Mantra chanting, like planting seeds, can help awaken and make available this energy within us to help fulfil our potential.
