Kirtan Evening
With Rachel Zinman and Nyck Jeanes
Liechtenstein Jun 2, 2007
Kirtan is a form of devotional yoga called Bhakti that celebrates the beauty of our connection to life and the bliss of unconditional love. In Sanskrit the word kirtan, means, "to repeat" and consists of mantras that are sung in call and response. Repeating the same sounds over and over can bring on a state of deep meditation where the participants experience the power of their own vibrations as well as feeling their inherent connection with others. Join Rachel and Nyck and discover the beauty and power of your own voice in an evening dedicated to the heart.
