About the Program

Join author, naturalist and sound healing practitioner Christine Stevens for an evening of sacred music. This evening program will allow you to experience the ancient musical practice of Kirtan. Utilizing call-and-response chanting, drumming, and droning, Kirtan is a practice of vibrational exaltation. Raising our voices together, we will experience healing through sound and connection to spirit.

Christine brings together the scientific evidence of drumming and health with the spiritual lineage in First Nations, African, and Buddhist traditions, in the practice of active meditation through music and rhythm.  This is a powerful program for anyone who find it challenging to meditate,  anyone who loves music, or anyone who finds it comforting to join in community and practice mantras through song in the Kirtan lineage.

No experience necessary–bring whatever voices, instruments, and drums you feel called to sing with, or simply arrive with open ears.
