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.
The evening will be initiated with a Vedic ceremony in which the energy is channeled and a blessed and harmonious energy field is created.
In this atmosphere, thoughts can dissolve and hearts merge.
When singing, we invite you to dance, cry, laugh, let your energy flow in harmony with the world around you.

Kirtan 6 day course
Feel more at home in Kirtan;
find your way more easily and enjoy finetuning
Deepening, letting go, surrender can take place if you can relax. This is a journey of 6 sessions where you tune in with a fixed group. The songs we sing consist of simple mantras. Some songs we sing will come back every session but we will also occasionally sing a song that you may not have heard before.
In doing so, we pay extra attention to finding balance in harmony with a group. For this purpose, various elements of kirtan are touched, such as:
* The classic call-and-response wise and the singing together as in bhajan style
* Dynamics and pace, playing with volume and speed
* Playing with rhythm; enriching the kirtan experience even more! (although there will be some instructions for using hands and small instruments, main focus will be on the singing)
This kirtan series is accompanied by Dhanyo Scholten on harmonium, with one or more guest musicians at a time.
Experience is not required.
The sessions take place at Svaha Yoga Downtown, Begijnensteeg 1 in Amsterdam.
Dates are 5, 12 and 26 January and 2, 9 and 23 February.
Each session starts at 4 pm and ends at 6 pm.
The price is 120 Euro
