LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Sacred Lake Kirtan Band will host a session of kirtan chanting on Thursday, Dec. 8.

Kirtan is the ancient practice of recitation and repetition of Mantras or hymns in a “call and response” between performers and participants.

Traditionally practiced by the respective name in the spiritual and folk traditions of India, kirtan is an innate human expression of the heart that shows itself in many forms in every culture.

This is an offering open to all faiths and beliefs. It is a chance to release stress and find a deep connection within yourself and all life.
