Open Heart Kirtan @ The Open Space

Singing has long been known as a means of expression for the soul. Kirtan provides a medium where singers and non-singers can engage in this practice in a safe and supportive environment. Kirtan belongs to that area of practice known as Bhakti (devotional) yoga and is renowned for its capacity to open hearts and reach towards the higher self. At Open Space we come together once a month in a larger gathering to experience the divine energy of Kirtan.

This is a free event, we provide a delicious plant based meal and non-dairy chai by donation. All funds received are passed on as donations to support the Sansar Gyaan Pathshala School. Located in rural northern India, the school provides free education in an area where many children, especially girls, would not otherwise receive education. The school is fully operational and provides for over 300 students of primary school age together with scholarships to allow for further education.
