Sacred Sound Sessions: Mantra Love & Lullaby

Imagine an evening where your voice becomes an instrument of devotion, where ancient mantras meet contemporary spirit, and where the boundary between singer and song dissolves into shared resonance. Sacred Sound Sessions: Mantra Love & Lullaby offers exactly that—a rare convergence of two Grammy-nominated masters of sacred sound in Spirit Rock's Great Hall in Woodacre, California.

Jai Uttal, a pioneering kirtan artist with fifty years of study in devotional traditions, brings the living lineage of classical mantra chanting into modern spiritual practice. Alongside him is Manose Singh, a virtuoso Nepalese bansuri (bamboo flute) player whose music opens spaces of profound stillness and presence. Together, they craft an evening that honors both the ancient roots and contemporary heart of sacred sound—inviting you not as a passive listener, but as an active participant in the transformative power of collective chanting.

This is more than a concert. It's a doorway into your own heart, opened through melody, mantra, and the timeless alchemy of shared sound.

What to Expect

Over two hours in Spirit Rock's beautiful Great Hall, you'll move through an arc of devotional chanting that begins with energizing mantras and gently descends into a closing lullaby—a meditative journey for both voice and soul. Jai Uttal will guide the call-and-response kirtan tradition, creating space for everyone to participate, whether you're a seasoned chanter or singing mantra for the first time. Manose Singh's bansuri will weave throughout, anchoring the group in moments of deep presence and peace.

The evening cultivates heart-opening through sound and resonance. You'll leave with a felt sense of connection—to the mantras, to the musicians, to the collective energy in the room, and to yourself. No prior experience with kirtan or mantra is necessary; all are welcome.
