Autumn Equinox Kirtan: Awaken the Heart Through Song
Tuesday, September 22nd | 7:00pm - 8:00pm | True Nature Kiva
Sliding Scale $15-$50
Celebrate the Equinox with an uplifting kirtan—chant, connect, and open your heart through music, mantra, and community.
Join us for a heart-opening evening of kirtan in celebration of the Autumn Equinox - a time of balance and equanimity.
Kirtan is a form of devotional, call-and-response chanting that invites you to use your voice as a pathway into presence, connection, and joy. No experience is needed. You are welcome exactly as you are—whether you sing loudly, softly, or simply sit and receive.
Through mantra, rhythm, and shared energy, we’ll move together into a space where music becomes meditation and community becomes ceremony.
This offering honors both the rising, expressive energy of Shakti and the grounding, steady presence of Shiva—creating a balanced experience of movement and stillness, sound and silence.
During this experience, you can expect:
Guided call-and-response chanting (Sanskrit and English)
Live music with harmonium, rhythm, and voice
A welcoming, inclusive environment for all levels
Space for both expression and deep inner stillness
You’ll walk away with:
A sense of connection—to yourself, others, and something greater
A more open, energized heart
A simple and powerful practice you can return to anytime
This is more than a musical event—it’s a shared experience of presence, devotion, and community.
