NEWS | KIRTAN WITH SHANTALA


Heather & Benjy Wertheimer to Perform Friday, July 3


We're delighted to welcome Shantala for an evening of devotional chanting at The Movement Center on Friday, July 3, at 7:00 p.m.

About The Event

Sacred chanting (kirtan) has its roots in the sacred music of ancient India. Chanting events involve active audience participation and are open to people of all religious backgrounds. The music carries the audience through a journey of etheric beauty, ecstatic percussion, and singing with the devotion of the heart. It is a celebration of life, love, and the beauty of the human spirit.
