Welcome 2025 in Bliss: A Heart-Opening Evening of Kirtan & Chai

“THE REPETITION OF THE HOLY NAMES REVEALS A PRESENCE HIDDEN WITHIN THE HEART. SOMETHING BEGINS TO HAPPEN THAT’S VERY DISTURBING - WE GET HAPPY.”

~ KRISHNA DAS

Experience kirtan—an ancient practice of musical meditation where Sanskrit mantras blend with soul-stirring melodies to open your heart and quiet your mind. As your voice joins the collective harmony, and you connect to your heart’s intentions, feel yourself release the old year and embrace 2025’s infinite potential.

Let the healing vibrations of sacred chants and heartfelt community carry you into a space of deep peace and connection. We’ll close our practice by sharing warming chai, allowing conversations and connections to naturally unfold.

Perfect for both newcomers and experienced practitioners:

• No musical experience needed—just bring your authentic self

• All chants will be taught in a welcoming, step-by-step way

• Experience both silent meditation and joyful expression

• Connect with like-minded community members

Begin your year with clarity, purpose, and an open heart. Space is limited to ensure an intimate experience please sign up in advance.
