"Wow!!! Thank you so much for hosting such a wonderful evening last night. Having over 50 people to sing with was wonderful and the energy was truly amazing. Congratulations, you managed to capture the imagination of the people you came into contact with and brought them into a place of healing, love and high energy. In my mind and experience that is a significant accomplishment. I don't know how you did it but last night was magic and it was your work and wisdom that brought all these people together to make it happen. Yours is a rare gift in my experience. " ~ Much Metta Bruce Lacey
Kirtan is not exclusive to simply those who practice yoga. Anyone can join in at any time and joyfully sing along, clap their hands and become a key musician to this age-old art form. Kirtan is a form of devotional chanting whose roots go back over 500 years to India. It is a form of Bhakti Yoga (yoga of devotion) and has the power to open the heart. The singing is accompanied by musical instruments and the audience is encouraged to participate. Kirtan can induce profound states of meditation, bliss and ecstasy.

"Last night was an 'into the Mystic' evening...so full of beauty and grace and a deeper free fall into trust and connection. Thank you for listening to your guidance to evolve your full moon idea...and for your truly generous heart. I awoke knowing that it was bigger than our minds can grasp...but my heart feels the expansion and the knowing that it fell on precisely the right date - how amazing is that?? You are a wonder and a deLight... I love the space you hold to encourage people to step into more of who they are. Thank you...thank you." ~ Pamela Jane Gerrand
