Gippsland Kirtan
"Forget the words, they are simply the couriers of vibration. Close your eyes. Stay with the breath. What stirs in your heart? Where do you feel the sound in your body? What opens up in you; What memories, what feelings, what thoughts? Witness them … Let them go. Find the stillness beyond the sound. Here you will find the essence of kirtan, the essence of us all". Bonny Howarth
WHAT IS KIRTAN?
Kirtan is the main expression of Bhakti yoga, the yoga of love/devotion, whereby singing spiritually uplifting songs honours the universe and connect us with each other and all things.
For centuries, communities have been singing to communicate, express joy and feel connection.
Rather than being a type of performance, Kirtan is often a 'call and response' form of meditation. By singing mantras (sacred sounds or vibrations) we reach a state far beyond the stress and worries of life.

ABOUT US ...
Gippsland Kirtan is a non denominational, not for profit, group of people of all ages, who love yoga in all its forms. We are 4 volunteers who arrange community events and host gatherings simply because we like doing it.
We practice most Friday nights from 7.30 to 9.30pm near Sale Victoria. Core group members need to commit to regular practice sessions and have attended at least one kirtan gathering before being invited to join.
If you sing, play an instrument and like facilitating community events, please email us at gippslandkirtan@gmail.com.
