Take a journey through sound and mantra! Narayani’s kirtans are dynamic and colourful, serving up a full range of chants that are easy to follow and join in, for a powerful experience that takes you to the essential stillness inside.

Kirtan is chanting or singing, a form of yoga for the voice done in a group, accompanied by music. It requires no background or training and is easily learnt. Repeating Sanskrit mantras creates a meditative and uplifted mental state, and helps to melt inhibitions that can suppress your voice and expression. You add your voice to those around you, creating a sense of harmony.

Some people feel a sense of calm, others a sense of elation – it’s a great way to unblock emotions and a sense of being stuck. The words and melodies are simple and repeated, so that you can get into a rhythm and enter a more meditative state conducive to letting go.

Here’s some more information about Narayani.

Kirtans are held in our beautiful Sycamore studio on the first Friday of each month, apart from August. The cost is £10-£20 donations, with proceeds going to help Unity’s community projects. Narayani very kindly donates her time for free.

These kirtans are much loved and very popular. They often sell out, so early booking is advised. Scroll down to reserve your place.
