About the Event
What's it all about?
Kirtan (keer-tahn) is the coming together and chanting or singing of sacred mantras aimed at the easy purification and stimulation of the heart and mind in connection with a higher stratum. Ancient Sanskrit mantras are sung melodiously in call and response and accompanied by traditional instruments creating a unique ambience conducive to mental peace, spiritual inspiration and the expansion of love and acceptance.
It’s a great way to reset your mental and heart space.
Offered at each session also is a delicious home-cooked pure vegetarian meal created in the line of the Vaishnava kirtan tradition.
Beginners and experienced kirtan goers alike are welcome, as is anyone just curious to look on and listen. Also welcome is anyone or many who enjoy unique food or even just hungry!
Everyone is welcome for one or both of the activities. It's an easy-going fun and fulfilling space open to those from all walks of life.
Who will be leading the group?
Facilitators Robyn and Paul have lived in Woodend since 2008 and raised a family here. Recognising the spiritual and community-building benefits of kirtan and loving to cook for others they have joined with like-minded friends to present a monthly kirtan event in Woodend for 2024.
