kirtan retreatVoices Together Ecstatic Chant
Voices Together Ecstatic Chant brings together some of the Western world's foremost devotional singers for a weekend immersion in kirtan and musical prayer. Rooted in Hindu tradition, kirtan is the practice of call-and-response chanting that awakens longing for inner silence, boundless love, and connection to the divine. The weekend weaves together chanting in various styles, meditation, gentle yoga, and storytelling with teachers including Krishna Das, Nina Rao, Jai Uttal, Gaura Vani, Visvambhar Sheth, Jaya Lakshmi, and Steve Gorn. Participants gather in community to experience the rhythmic, unifying power of these ancient chants, which kindle joy and deepen one's relationship to a higher power. The program creates space to get lost in music and the collective energy of shared practice.
