Description

Together we will create a soundscape of sacred mantras to facilitate transformation and healing! Kirtan is a Bhakti (Yoga of devotion) practice of chanting Sanskrit mantras in call-and-response format. It's an ancient technology of using sound vibration for healing and for facilitating connection with the divine.  People are invited to sing along, or just to bathe in the healing sound. Come join Michael Hathaway and friends for a soulful evening of call and response, chanting the names of the various manifestations of the divine. Together we will create a soundscape of sacred mantras to facilitate transformation and healing – raising our vibration as we raise our voices in celebration & devotion! Michael discovered his musicality and voice through the practice of devotional chanting, and has made it a consistent personal practice since he was introduced to daily chanting at the Sivananda ashram in the Bahamas in the late 90's.  He feels grateful and blessed to be able to share his practice and medicine with others – to create an uplifting communal experience of group prayer. His songs are traditional Sanskrit mantras set to his original music. He sings with a sweet, heart-felt yearning – weaving a unique soundscape of hypnotic harmonics, joyful celebration, and fierce intensity. He can be found leading kirtan at yoga studios, festivals, conscious gatherings, and singing with his harmonium for yoga classes in the Los Angeles area. For everyone! Suggested donation $25
