In a world that moves fast, kirtan—call-and-response singing of mantra—helps calm an overstimulated mind, gently opens the heart, and brings us back to center. Rooted in the yogic traditions of India, the kirtan at UUSE is led by regional musicians in a dogma-free, welcoming community. Expect approachable, modern musical styles; chairs and floor seating; space for movement; and a suggested donation of $20 (no one turned away). Whether you’re just curious or already familiar with kirtan, you’ll leave feeling peaceful, grounded, and uplifted.
