The Govinda Valley Kirtan Immersion retreat weekend fast approaches, with a local all-star line-up of seasoned performers, so it’s sure to be an ecstatic event!
Kirtan (yoga chants) is a participatory music experience of sacred mantras and devotional chants performed in a call and response style which involves the whole audience in the performance.
“It is an East meets West musical fusion with an eclectic blending of traditional Indian instruments such as the tabla, tamboura and harmonium with Western musical instruments such as flutes, saxophones, guitars and keyboards” says Tony Kay, festival organiser.
Bring your yoga gear, an instrument and a thinking cap for the workshops. Enjoying the food should be easy! The retreat is available as a three day session complete with accommodation and meals, or you can camp on site, or simply come along for a day!
