Chanting
What is Kirtan?
Kirtan is an ancient form of devotional chanting. It is generally call-and-response style, meaning the kirtan wallah (leader) sends out a 'call', and everyone else echos back, and together the whole group is lifted up in vibration to experience a new level of extacy, contentment, peace and connectedness.
There is no particular belief system that is required to experience the bliss of chanting. Every people in every culture have chants. Why? Because it works.
"Chant, it's the quickest way." -Gina Sala'
There are many kirtan & changing opportunities around the greater Seattle area.
Jennifer facilitates a community kirtan space at OmCulture the 2nd Thursday of the month, beginning January 2012. See Learning Opportunities page for more info.
