Kirtan with Divya - Saturday, May 15th, 7:30 PM

Join Divya Prabha for a wonderful evening of Kirtan. Kirtan is a practice of Bhakti Yoga (the Yoga of Devotion) - is a call and response form of singing which is expanding throughout North America as westerners discover it’s uplifting, healing and joyous effects.

Chanting is a way of getting in touch with yourself. It's an opening of the heart and letting go of the mind and thoughts. It deepens the channel of grace, and it's a way of being present in the moment.

Divya was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In 1971 she underwent a life-altering spiritual awakening which caused her to leave her job at a local university and take up intensive study of Yoga and Yoga philosophy.

She has composed a wealth of chants that are sung around the world, and has made 5 CD's of Sanskrit chanting and one CD of original songs about the spiritual path.

Divya travels the world giving courses and concerts and satsangs, and resides with her husband, artist Michael Fernandes, at her home Shining Bay Retreat, a summer Yoga facility overlooking a quiet ocean cove in East Dover. When not traveling, she leads satsang and offers programs at her Retreat and elsewhere in Nova Scotia.

Cost: $15.00 per person.
