Kirtan & Ceremony
Experience a great connecting evening of singing together and let your voice be completely free during this enchanting event.
Kirtan is a medium to open your heart and it brings a powerful feeling of being together.
The Sanskrit mantras we sing carry healing vibrations and when we give those mantras sound from our hearts with devotion, a tuning takes place with the source of joy and peace deep within us.
On this blessed day a special Vedic ceremony will be performed and the atmosphere will be charged with sacred vibes already before we start singing.
Our team consists of me on harmonium and lead voice, Joao on guitar, Abris on violin, Miguel on bass and Aravinda on dholak and our aim is to go sing with 150+ people and create a powerful energy field that has a strong ripple effect on the whole Amsterdam.
Join us and take part in this powerful event!
Let's fill up that place with heartfelt kirtan :D
We have a variety of discount tickets but the number of those is limited, so don't wait too long before you book!
