Divine Sound Weekend with Brenda McMorrow - Concert, Saturday, October 16th at 7:00 PM, Chant Workshop, Sunday, October 17th at 1:30 PM

Saturday, October 16th at 7:00 PM
Kirtan Concert with Brenda McMorrow and
Special Guest Errol Starr Francis

Kirtan – 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 its uplifting, healing and joyous effects.

Kirtan is easy to learn and participate in. The lead singer sings simple and beautiful melodies and the crowd responds either by memory or by using lyric sheets provided. Brenda explains, “Singing together– chanting the Divine names – encourages our hearts to open and the beauty of our true beings to shine!”

Canadian Devotional Chant artist, Brenda McMorrow, began her musical career in the early 1990’s as a singer/songwriter. She co-founded the London, Ontario folk/rock band Julia Propeller – a campus radio and CBC favourite – which opened for and shared festival rosters with acts like Ani Difranco and Bruce Cockburn.

Brenda’s rich musical exploration led her from folk to bluegrass to jazz and now - as meditation, yoga and expanding consciousness have become integral parts of her life – her true heart offering is to share her unique blend of original melodies, world beats and sacred Indian devotional chants.

Join Brenda and PranaShanti for this uplifting evening, tea and treats served after the concert!

Cost: $20 per person in advance; $25 per person day of the event.
