Community Kirtan

Come and join us for Community Kirtan!!

What is Kirtan?

Kirtan is a joyous celebration of conscious community coming together to sing sacred mantras.

An uplifting meditation technique that helps to focus, calm and harmonise the mind and body. Mantras liberate the mind from its bondage of sensory inputs to transcend its limitations.

Often the feeling of chanting is likened to a long swim in the ocean: it cleanses you on every level, mind, body and spirit.

We will open with an Om Circle to connect everyone in the space into the frequency of oneness and expansiveness.

We will then spend about an hour chanting a range of mantras together.

We will close by sharing a cup of tea in circle and getting to know our fellow Kirtaneers!

Absolutely no experience is necessary – complete beginners are welcome.

The mantras will be broken down, explained and guided and the space is a warm and supportive environment for all.

About your hosts

Hayley Skeggs

Hayley teaches yoga around the Clarence Valley. She has been operating the Grafton School of yoga for almost 3 years now. Always having enjoyed Mantra as part of her practice, she enjoys singing, dancing and playing Kirtan music for fun. A recent trip to Anahata Ashram in NZ re-sparked her inspiration for live Kirtan, and in her excitement began playing harmonium. She is excited to be sharing this joyous practice with more people, and to bring this beautiful yogic tradition home to Grafton.

Liga Walters

Liga from Glow with the Flow is a counsellor and sound healer who works with women to help them heal from trauma using a blend of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and somatic embodiment practices. Liga has been exploring the realm of sound healing for over 7 years and her first love was mantra, healing through chanting the sacred sounds of the Sanskrit and Gurmukhi languages. She then began exploring sound healing through various instruments; the guitar, djembe drum, Native American flute, crystal singing bowls, Shamanic medicine drum and rattle, harmonium, Koshi chimes and the crystal harp. Liga is very passionate about bringing people together, building community and giving people a space to connect, uplift, inspire and hold each other in a world that has become increasingly separate, isolated and disconnected. She is so excited to be holding space for you each month in our Community Kirtan gatherings!
