Kirtan: The Healing Power of Mantra
With Jakob Weise
Experience the vibrations of singing together through the practice of kirtan and Bhakti yoga — a sacred journey of chanting, where the repetition of divine names stills the mind and opens a pathway to your inner Self.
Kirtan is done in a call-and-response setting where the Kirtan leader calls out the chant and the group respond back, in this way anyone is welcome to join without previous experience of sanskrit language or musical skills. Bhakti yoga is also called 'the yoga of the heart' where the practitioner sings devotional mantras as a practice of singing meditation.
Through the rhythmic repetition of sacred names, we'll gently peel away layers of thought and emotion to uncover your true essence. Chanting is a meditation in motion, reconnecting you with the silence and boundless love that is always present inside.
Join Jakob as he shares his personal practice and leads a heartfelt kirtan with the opportunity for your voice to co-create the moment. We'll also explore beautiful invocations and songs from the Baul tradition, a spiritual path that deeply inspires Jakob.
