KIRTAN with Patti Spadaro, Ven and Veena Kelly ~
Friday, February 10, 2012 8- 9:30 PM followed by light snacks
One of the oldest sacred music traditions of the world, the kirtan call-and-response chanting genre comes to us from India. Kirtan’s ancient participatory music experience can carry us effortlessly to a place of quiet and stillness. Using Sanskrit mantras, the kirtan calls upon sacred energies which serve to quiet the mind, remove obstacles, and bring us back to the center of our being. Something about the kirtan experience goes beyond the music itself, goes to a deeper experience of vibration. We all resonate at different frequencies, and these frequencies change according to what we are doing and thinking. So when we are all doing the same thing-chanting, breathing, and moving to the same rhythms-our vibrations begin to synchronize and the resulting experience is very powerful. The laws of vibration help us out here, because vibrations align themselves to stronger vibrations, so even if you're having a not-so-great day, it may be difficult to hold onto those feelings during the kirtan experience. Something happens-the energy begins to activate the spirit that exists within us all.
