First ever 7 Hour Kirtan Fest in Bristol on Saturday 3 September

Posted on: 18 Aug 2016

Looking to join in on some amazing meditation and fun in Bristol? Head on over to the first 7 Hour Kirtan Fest in Bristol!  Sat 3rd Sept, 3 pm - 10 pm, Newman Hall, Bristol BS9 4 DR.

First ever 7 Hour Kirtan Fest in Bristol on Saturday 3 September

Experience several hours of kirtan chanting led by Tablatom, Tim Chalice, Babaji Temple Singers, Sivani Mata, Nikki Slade and Amma's Glastonbury Satsang Group.

 

Kirtan chanting is a very old yogic practice of singing from the heart and is part of the devotional Bhakti tradition originating in India but now common throughout the world due to the spread of yoga and its teachings.

 

It is an effortless and powerful way to quieten the restless and busy mind, relax the body and open the heart, taking one deeper into a place of peace, well-being and joy. Singing the profoundly healing sounds of Sanskrit mantras together will naturally uplift and benefit us physically, mentally and spiritually.

 

Everyone can join in, as it is incredibly simple and easy to follow; yet the results can be transformative and profound. There will be a selection of small stalls run by local traders selling treats and refreshments and a delicious Indian vegetarian meal will be served during the main break.

 

Proceeds of the concert will go to homelessness projects in Bristol in service to our local community and publicity about this will be available at the event.

 

Book here via Eventbrite

 

All are welcome - go for as little or as long as you like. Venue is wheelchair accessible. Car park and street parking available. If you have further queries please contact kirtanbristol@gmail.com.
