WHERE

The Geodesic Yoga Dome at Nectar on Bowen Island. Limited parking available—carpooling is strongly recommended.

What to Expect

Step into the heart-expanding practice of Bhakti Kirtan, a devotional chanting experience that connects us through sound, stillness, and community. In this 90-minute gathering, we begin with grounding breathwork and mindfulness before easing into a call-and-response mantra practice.

Most mantras are chanted in Sanskrit, the ancient language of Yoga, known for its vibrational and meditative qualities. Between each chant, we hold moments of silence to allow for reflection and integration. Participation is always optional—you are welcome to sing, listen, or move as the music inspires you.

This is a community-led gathering, and the Bhakti Band members will change with each session, bringing a unique energy to every gathering.
