Kirtan melts the heart, fills the mind with purity and
generates harmony and Divine Love.
Swami Sivananda
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 
KIRTAN is the music of the heart, a calling of the soul and a central practice in Bhakti Yoga, one of the four classical paths of Yoga. It is a simple yet powerful and direct way to connect with self, soul, Divine source, and community.

 
Chanting can create great joy and put aside the mind to open the heart and gain access to a profound yet very natural state of inner bliss and high vibration. It is an excellent way to soothe the nerves and calm the mind.

 
All are welcome to this easily accessible spiritual practice of call-and-response singing of mantras and spiritual songs in Sanskrit and English with traditional and contemporary melodies and eclectic sacred music. Participants are invited to sit comfortably, sing as though no one is listening, clap their hands, and dance or move if they wish. 

 
You can think of it as a sing-along — as the leader sings and the audience sings back, raising blissful energy higher and higher. Despite its Indian roots, kirtan can be considered to be all about the Universal language of the soul.

The Joy of Nada Mini-Retreat

 —  —

Hummingbird Healing Center, 57 Main St., 2nd Floor, Westport, CT

A new offering!

Chanting can help us experience our Divinity, especially when we use ancient mantras and spiritual chants and songs to raise our vibration while relieving stress and anxiety. Add Japa repetition to guide awareness and you will drop into a more meditative place of deep relaxation with ease. Coupled with soothing sound healing instruments, you will leave feeling uplifted and experience a deeper self-knowledge and a sense of clarity and peace.

Join Hummingbird founder and certified sound healer, Lisa Pak, and Miriam Zernis of Sita's Light Kirtan for a unique, blissful Saturday morning "mini-retreat" exploring your inner voice through chanting and guided Japa meditation. At the end of class, we will lie down in an extended Savasana with a Sound Bath Meditation led by Lisa for deep restoration and relaxation.

ALL are welcome.

No experience is necessary, and words are provided along with voice guidance.

Bring a mala (prayer beads) if you have one or purchase one at the center - $10-$79. Meditation cushions will also be available for sale for $69.00. Having your own mala and cushion to infuse with the energy of our session is a wonderful way to foster regular practice at home

$95 Early Bird until 3/11 -- $125 after 3/12
