"Shakti Ma" A Kirtan Concert

with Brenda McMorrow and Lea Longo

Friday, April 8th, 2011

7:30 PM - 9:00 PM

"Shakti Ma" ~ A very special evening of divine chanting, singing and sound with White Swan Recording artist Brenda McMorrow and Montreal based Kirtan Wallah Lea Longo! Brenda and Lea will both share their own styles of call and response devotional chants!

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!”

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

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