It Means Falling In Love.”

“Kirtan is for all people.
There are no experts & no beginners. The practice itself is the teacher, guiding us to ourselves. Kirtan allows us to enter into a mystery world - a world where all the logic of our minds, all the conditions and learnings are left outside. And in this mystery, we create a temple inside of our hearts, a place of refuge, a place of love, a place of just being.
Jai Uttal
Retreat Participants Will Also Receive Exclusive Offerings For Our Sense Of The Sacred Online Mentorship.
