Community Kirtan
with Olivia Ishvari
SUN MAR 8, 2 - 4 PM PDT

This class is free with optional in studio cash donations accepted for the Terrace Woman's Resource Centre.

Kirtan is a form of devotional singing with deep roots in Indian spiritual traditions. It arises from Bhakti Yoga — the path of love — where singing mantras is both prayer and a form of yoga practice. Through call and response, we attune to something greater than ourselves through sound, breath, and rhythm.

You don’t need to follow a specific tradition or have a perfect singing voice to join — only a sense of curiosity and an open heart. This is not a performance, but a collective practice. Whether your voice is strong or shy, whether you feel joy, resistance, stillness, or anything in between — all of it is welcome here.

We’ll begin with a gentle introduction to Kirtan and its roots, then move into singing together, letting rhythm and repetition draw us inward. As voices merge, something soft and sacred unfolds — a shared vibration that quiets the mind and enlivens the heart.

We’ll close with a brief meditation and conversation to ground and integrate.

Come, sing, meditate, and connect with us.
