Description

Come together as part of our weekend of fundraising for the people of Palestine and Lebanon and join us for our final Kirtan of the year, led by Kelly and friends. With donations going to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) who are supporting the people of Palestine and Lebanon. Kirtan is a traditional practice where community comes together using their voice as one to chant mantra (a phrase sung in Sanskrit). We have likely all experienced the powerful feeling of chanting OM as one group; in Kirtan we galvanise the power of our voices as a way to elevate mood, celebrate coming together and come back into our heart and wholeness. Far from being stuffy and hymn like - Kirtan can connect us to our truth, to clarity and allow us to feel into areas where we may be experiencing stagnation. Whilst this practice is for a clear and important cause, it's also an opportunity to celebrate this time of year and our wonderful community, whilst staying true to the sacred roots of Yoga. Kelly Jarvis and friends will lead us through Kirtan with accompanying musical instruments and voices from Mike, Laura & Jas. This event is not for profit with all proceeds going towards Medical Aid for Palestinians who work for the health and dignity of Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees. We provide immediate medical aid to those in great need, while also developing local capacity and skills to ensure the long-term development of the Palestinian healthcare system.
