Open Heart Kirtan

-= Join us at the Open Space for a special 4-hour Kirtan this December =-

Singing has long been known as a means of expression for the soul. Kirtan provides a medium where singers and non-singers can engage in this practice in a safe and supportive environment. Kirtan belongs to that area of practice known as Bhakti (devotional) yoga and is renowned for its capacity to open hearts and reach towards the higher self. At Open Space we come together once a month in a larger gathering to experience the divine energy of Kirtan.

The event is offered by donation and we provide a delicious plant based meal and non-dairy chai. All funds received are passed on as donations to support the Sansar Gyaan Pathshala School. Located in rural northern India, the school provides free education in an area where many children, especially girls, would not otherwise receive education. The school is fully operational and provides for over 300 students of primary school age together with scholarships to allow for further education.
