Gathering information and registration
Join Jai Chaitanya and Justine Sanderson for our monthly Kirtan gathering at Lotus Sound in downtown Collingwood, Ontario.
Kirtan is a simple and accessible form of musical meditation rooted in Bhakti yoga, sometimes described as “the yoga of devotion” or “the yoga of the heart.” Together, we sing short sacred mantras in a call-and-response style accompanied by harmonium, mridanga and other traditional instruments.
No previous experience with meditation, yoga, chanting or singing is needed. You do not need to consider yourself musical at all. You are welcome to simply listen, hum along, clap, sing or participate in whatever way feels comfortable.
Kirtan offers an opportunity to step away from the busyness of everyday life and experience meditation through sound, rhythm, community and the collective voice. The practice can be joyful and uplifting while also creating space for stillness, reflection and connection.
Lotus Sound is a dedicated sound and meditation studio located in Collingwood, Ontario. Jai Chaitanya and Justine have been facilitating meditation, sound and Kirtan experiences for many years and welcome both those completely new to the practice and those with an established Bhakti or meditation practice.
Come as you are and experience this beautiful practice of mantra meditation in community.
