Bring some food to share if you want to join in the munchies afterwards. Stay for the potluck even if you haven’t brought any food!

Kirtan is a spiritual practice whose benefits are fostered by a certain amount of silence. Parents: please bring children only who you know will not run around or make noise while we are chanting. Children under 18 are free to join us.
Community kirtan is about building community, so we invite you to be an active community participant by bringing some scrumptious food, meeting some new folks, and even help out with cleaning up.

As an ex-hatha-yoga teacher, Harreson Sito found himself on the musical path of yoga known as kirtan. Kirtan incorporates Naad yoga (sound), Mantra yoga (sacred vibrations), Japa yoga (repetition), Dhyana yoga (meditation), and Bhakti yoga (devotion). The power of mantras to invoke goodness and protect one’s mind perhaps makes kirtan the original source of what we know in the West as positive affirmations. Come and join us for an evening of kirtan on the third Saturday of the month at Open Door Yoga to explore how kirtan might benefit your body/mind/spirit and yoga practice.
