Description
Join Camilla Walker for an introduction to Kirtan, the
yoga of sound and voice. Chanting mantras together as meditation is
an ancient practice within the yoga tradition and this workshop is
here to introduce and orient you to the amazing benefits and joys
it holds!
Kirtan is the yoga of heartfelt connection to self, connection to
community and connection to life.
Kirtan sees the human voice as a sacred expression of the deep
heart of life that connects us all. It harnesses the simple, yet
amazingly uplifting and universal power of people getting together
and singing together. Kirtan brings together melody and rhythm and
the infectious joy of live music, instruments and voice… It feels
great!
You do NOT have to be a singer, or even to like your own voice. Kirtan is not a performance and not remotely about ‘sounding good’. It’s about joining in and FEELING good.
Kirtan is about feeling connected as part of a bigger whole, and about celebrating our aliveness and belonging through sound. Kirtan is part of Bhakti yoga, which is the branch of yoga focused on love, devotion and belonging, and it can be a profoundly liberating, transformative and all-round nourishing practice.
Kirtan is evocative, lyrical, moving and expressive – its origins lie in the beautiful poetry of tantra and the revelation that the divine lives in the temple of our own hearts, not outside of ourselves. People typically find Kirtan to be a deeply empowering, freeing, emotionally cleansing, restorative and enlivening experience, and one that fosters subtle yet profound inner transformation.
We will be serving home made vegan indian street food and masala chai.
Camilla Walker has been singing Kirtan since 2014, and in 2022
underwent a 200hr training with Nikki Slade to lead Kirtan
publically. Camilla will lead the practice vocally, and there will
be live accompaniment on harmonium, with rhythmic drumming and
percussion to support both call-and-response and unison chants.
Join us for an atmospheric, heartfelt and joyful evening of musical
meditation.
