What to Expect at Events
Join us to experience mantras as powerful tools for self-transformation! No prior experience required. Lyrics and instruction provided as needed. Mantra and kirtan events consist of one to two hours of mantras. You do not have to be a singer or musician to participate. In fact, you are welcome to meditate silently if you like.
What is Kirtan?
Kirtan is a form of devotional singing in a group, sometimes in a call and response format. Although singing is part of every spiritual tradition, this particular form originated in India.
Devotional Singing
Kirtan is now gaining popularity in the Western world. The word “kirtan” (pronounced KEER-tun or KEER-tahn) comes from Sanskrit. Kirtan specifically refers to devotional singing in mantras, chants and bhajans. Learn more about kirtan in the article Everything About Kirtan.
Questions?
The smaller group format is a great chance to ask questions and explore various aspects of healing through music. Contact Kathleen Karlsen with questions or for more information.
Workshops & Retreats
Come to experience a combination of research, stories, and music. Class days and times vary. Contact Kathleen Karlsen at 406-599-3235 or kathleenkarlsen@msn.com to be added to emails and text notifications.
Mantra workshops and retreats are an opportunity to take a deeper dive into the power of mantras such as the building blocks of mantras, stories from the Vedas, or the connection between sacred geometry and sound. Workshops may also include the role of sacred art, color healing, and related modalities.
Workshops are a chance to ask questions and have the intimacy of discussions in a small group format. Workshops are generally 90 minutes to three hours depending on the topic.
