About the evening
Kirtan or Kirtana (Sanskrit: कीर्तन; IAST: Kīrtana) is a Sanskrit word that means “narrating, reciting, telling, describing” of an idea or story. It’s a beautifully soulful live musical adventure, spanning the spectrum of emotions and intensities, with mindfulness. We will call to you with our musical ideas and invite you to respond in whichever way moves you. Meditate, sing, play, and dance the names of the divine within yourself and in our circle. Our approach to Kirtan is modern, with playfulness, intentionality, and improvisation as major themes.
We’re blessed to have several special guests! The whimsical and talented Gina Maray will be bringing the Dance Mix.
Ecstatic Dance is a safe container for movement, expression, and embodiment. We craft intentional playlists that follow a meaningful arc. Use the music as a catalyst to connect to your body’s innate wisdom to transform, release, and find freedom.
We aspire in our practice as mystics to seek a truth beyond any doctrine, philosophy, or concept. Yet, we recognize the wisdom of all traditions. We are inclusive, and believe foremost in the power of love and harmony, and disavow dogma.
Perennial Yoga is a magnificent space to behold in its own right, with the capacity to reflect and contain our energies, harmonies, and melodies. Come, and share in a high-vibe experience of attunement! The world needs you to be the best version of yourself.
