All Yoga practices eventually point to the awakening of the heart. Kirtan, a Bhakti Yoga practice, can take you directly there. It is considered one of the fastest ways to tap into pure joy and love and to experience divine bliss.

Aloha Keene is looking forward to a collaborative evening of sacred chant with the New England-based group Heart Centered Kirtan and touring mantra music artist Mirabai Moon.

Mirabai will be joined by Ganesh Michael Fiber on bass for this event, and Heart Centered Kirtan will be represented by wali Libby Volckening (keys/vox), Ezra Landis (bass), and Owen Landis (percussion).

$25 pre-registration, $30 at the door. Advance tickets can be purchased at https://www.vagaro.com/alohakeene/classes
