Event Description
Step into a warm, welcoming space and experience the heart-opening practice of Kirtan with Shell & Anton, visiting as part of their Canadian Kirtan Tour.
Kirtan is a simple and joyful form of group meditation that blends live music with call-and-response mantra chanting. No singing experience is neededโjust a willingness to listen, repeat, and be part of the shared sound. There is no pressure to perform; we chant to express, not to impress.
Guided by harmonium and percussion, Shell & Anton will lead each mantra at a relaxed, accessible pace. Along the way, theyโll share short stories and clear explanations so you can connect with the meaning and intention behind the chants.
You are welcome to participate in whatever way feels naturalโsinging, listening, moving, or simply soaking in the atmosphere.
Whether you are new to Kirtan or returning to a beloved practice, this evening offers a space to unwind, connect, and experience the calming and uplifting power of chanting together.
Come as you areโyour voice and your presence are enough.

Have you ever noticed the more you try to FORCE outcomes, relationships, feelings, energy, healing, etc. โ the farther away you seem to be from the โdesiredโ outcome?
In my life, I notice that when I am forcing things and holding tight, it is coming from a deep-seated place of anxiety and fear. Not only does the journey of this feel clunky, angsty, and rigid โ the outcome never satisfies either.
However, when I lean into my breathwork practice and other supportive practices that connect me home to my inner peace, inner trust, and inner balance, my fear and my need to control subside. Subsequently, my ability to flow and trust brims with energy; my existence into the flow becomes alive and begins to move with grace into abundance.
Looking forward to breathing with YOU!
Hot Stone Restorative Yoga
Where doing nothing is the point.
with Linda Schnabel & Melanie Gainforth
Time:ย 10:00am to 11:30am
Dates:ย TBA
Sink into deep rest with this slow, meditative practice designed to calm the nervous system, release tension, and gently restore balance. Fully supported restorative poses are paired with the comforting warmth of smooth, heated stones placed on the body, allowing muscles to soften, stress to melt away, and the mind to settle into stillness. With minimal movement, intentional breath, and long-held poses supported by bolsters and blankets, this class offers a rare opportunity for true, uninterrupted rest.
This nurturing experience can help reduce stress, ease chronic tension and everyday aches, improve circulation, and support better sleep while encouraging emotional grounding and a deep sense of calm and safety. Ideal for anyone feeling overwhelmed, fatigued, or in need of gentle care, Hot Stone Restorative Yoga requires no prior yoga experienceโonly a willingness to slow down and receive.
Space is limited to 10 participants so we can give each person lots of attention.
Come as you are. Leave restored.
Dress in comfortable layered clothing, bring your yoga mat and water bottle.
Cost: $50 includes HST for 90 minutes
