Kiratn with Wade Moriseetee - Saturday, February 12th at 7:30 PM at PranaShanti

Kirtan with Wade Morissette
Saturday, February 12th
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM

Join international Kirtan artist Wade Imre Morissette for an uplifting evening celebrating Valentines Day
with heart opening Kirtan!


Although the kirtan involves music, the underlying art of kirtan chanting is not actually about musical ability or training-it is about the heart. Everyone can participate, regardless of age or cultural background.

The purpose of this music is to get us out of our heads and into our hearts. Typically, the songs can last for 20-30 minutes each with a few moments of silence in between each song so you can soak it all up. The longer songs allow for deeper experience of the effects, and with the simple, repetitive lyrics.

Participate in an evening of powerful Kirtan with Nutone artist Wade Imre Morissette. A sing until you can’t sing anymore bliss out mantra call and response expression fest!

Wade has been practicing and teaching yoga for 13 years. He has completed Iyengar, Classical Ashtanga and Ashtanga-Vinyasa yoga teacher training. He has studied Vinyasa, Viniyoga, Anusara, and Kriya yoga, as well as zazen, Vedic Chanting, and active movement and sound meditations with some of the best-known teachers in Canada, North America, and India.

He is also a Reiki master, certified Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapist, and Viniyoga Therapist. He leads teacher trainings, workshops, retreats, and music-dance evenings internationally.

Cost: $25.00 per person in advance. $30.00 per person day of the event.

Wade will be in Ottawa for a full weekend of events including 3 dynamic workshops featuring yoga and music.  Full Weekend Savings! Sign up for all 4 Events on or before February 10th and SAVE $20 off the advance price and SAVE $40 off the day of price.
You pay just $140.00 per person for your full weekend experience!

Kirtan Concert with Brenda McMorrow - Saturday, January 30th, 2010 - 7 PM


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 it’s 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 Concert.  Tea and treats served after the concert!


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