What we’re about
This group will let you you know about bhakti yoga/chanting/kirtan-related events in the greater Orlando area. Kirtan is call & response devotional chanting. It is a practice of Bhakti Yoga, the Yoga of Love! Chanting mantras & Divine Names is an ancient Eastern practice that opens the heart, calms the mind, soothes the soul & frees the voice. It fosters a deep sense of spirituality and community. Styles of kirtan range from traditional Eastern musical styles to contemporary Western styles of music. Find what styles, artists, practices resonate with you. Then bring your friends and chant regularly to get the greatest benefits of this beautiful practice. Be inspired to start your own daily chanting practice!

2nd event of the Goddess Rising weekend (listed alone on MeetUp too)
Workshop with Yvette OM*:* Sunday, January 19th 10:00am-Noon: Sounding & Seeing the Divine: An Exploration into the Auspicious Practice of Darshan. Darshan in Sanskrit means ‘sight.’ To receive Darshan means to look so deeply into something outside of our ourselves that in the seeing/calling we receive its inherent blessings. During this morning workshop together we will experience various forms of Darshan. We will also marry the ‘seeing’ with the sweet sounding of mantra, sacred song and chanting to sweeten the nectar. For this Goddess Rising workshop dress comfortably. Please bring something to write on & lots of heart!You may register for just one event alone or both events together to benefit the most and to save (the Combo). See registration details for all options. Early Bird Pricing is available through Dec 31st, 2024.
