Kirtan / Devi prayer

Welcome to an evening of mantra song dedicated to Shakti Devi, the Mother of all Life. Marking the beginning of the Navaratri festival in celebration of goddess Durga, we gather to praise her infinite aspects and life giving power. We will share mantras and prayers to the many forms of the Goddess, with an intention of calling in joy, freedom nad healing for all life on our dear Mama Earth.

The kirtan is guided by Nora Niduvana and Torunn Avelsgaard Lien, both devotional musicians and yoginies dedicated to the Mother in all her forms.

To facilitate the journey back to the Heart, ceremonial cacao from the Central American jungle will be offered for purchase.

- - - -  ABOUT KIRTAN - - - -

Blending mantra song and meditation, this ancient practice of bhakti yoga was developed to clear the mind, open the heart and invite into ones life a tangible and intimate connection to deeper aspects of ourselves and of the universe. Between the chants we come back to silence, and share stories explaining the meaning of the mantras.

Kirtan is a co-creation where every voice is welcome. The mantras will be easy to follow, and no skills are required.

Ceremonial Cacao is a catalyst for opening the Heart, and has been used by the Mayan Indigenous people for millennia as a gentle support for going deeper into themselves.

Jai Ma!
