Heart Medicine Kirtan with Julia and Arjuna
Get ready for a joyful night as Julia (harmonium and vocals) teams up with the Grammy Award wining Arjuna O’Neal on drums. With a unique ability to bring everyone together in any space he plays through his heart-felt rhythms and keen sound healing abilities he brings a special magic to the Kirtan practice.
Kirtan is a call and response musical meditation that moves the heart towards an experience of inner silence, boundless love, and intimate union with the divine. Repeatedly chanting these ancient mantras kindles an exhilarating and joyful mood while clearing away negativity and depression.
As Krishna Das, one of the great Kirtanias of our day, says
“The ability to sing beautifully is enjoyable, but not necessary. What matters is singing from the heart.”
This practice is for everyone.
There will be chai!
(Please sign up online if possible so we know how much chai to make!)
