Kirtan with Lana Sugarman & Chris Gartner

Kirtan with Lana Sugarman & Chris Gartner

Join us for a beautiful evening of music, mantra, and community with kirtan artists Lana Sugarman and Chris Gartner.

Kirtan is a practice of call-and-response chanting rooted in Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion. Through Sanskrit mantra, live music, and collective singing, we’ll have an opportunity to breathe deeply, open our voices, connect with one another, and create a peaceful, uplifting vibration together.

No previous experience with Sanskrit, chanting, or kirtan is necessary. Come as you are—whether you love to sing or simply want to listen, relax, and experience the practice.
