Northside Grassroots Kirtan in Melbourne, 28th February 2018

Lift your voice and lift your spirit!
Northside Grassroots Kirtan is a fortnightly community event centred on the practice of kirtan. We meet on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month.

Kirtan is a yogic meditation involving call and response mantra chanting. The practice is an invitation to immerse yourself in a heart opening group experience of music and singing.

All are welcome. No experience is required.

We welcome people of all musical and singing abilities. If you play or have an instrument, please feel free to bring it and join in. If you are experienced at leading kirtans or have been practicing and would like to do your first, you are welcome to come and do that too.
The venue is ‘Common Ground’ at ‘Lentil As Anything’ restaurant Thornbury. ‘Common Ground’ is a space inside the restaurant towards the rear. Entry is via a set of double doors with program details written on the blackboard paint
==================================================
The event is by donation. The suggested donation is $5-20, depending on your financial situation.

Please note donations for kirtan and meals are separate. Donations for meals are to be placed in the box at the front of the restaurant. Donations for the kirtan are to be given inside the ‘Common Ground’ space where the kirtan is held.
All donations are passed on to ‘Lentils’. Donations support ‘Lentils’ operation and community work.

‘Lentils’ is a treasured gem of the community that not only devotes itself to upholding a wonderful ethos and financial model of ‘PAY AS YOU FEEL’, it also provides a lively space for art, culture and music.

===================================================

We encourage you to enjoy the healthy and delicious meals on offer at ‘Lentils’. If you do intend to have a meal, we suggest that you arrive allowing plenty of time to order and eat before kirtan starts, as the kitchen will usually be closed by kirtan finish. If you do need to step in or out during the kirtan, that is fine. But please do so mindfully showing consideration for your fellow kirtaneers.

We look forward to welcoming you to Northside Grassroots Kirtan.
