Kirtan with Akari Tamura - Songs of Devotion

Join us for an intimate evening of heart-led Kirtan — devotional chanting, storytelling, and mantra meditation — guided by Akari Tamura, a dedicated Bhakti practitioner and musician. Kirtan is a devotional practice of call-and-response chanting that is gentle, uplifting, and accessible to absolutely everyone. No musical experience or singing background is needed. Whether you’re new to Kirtan or have been singing for years, you’ll be welcomed into a warm, open-hearted space to connect, release, remember what really matters, and celebrate the power of sacred sound together.

Akari’s Kirtan is a deeply immersive and heart-opening devotional journey that weaves together mantra, music, and storytelling. Having studied Bhakti and Kirtan with teachers from traditional Vaishnava lineages, Akari embodies the spirit of devotion in a way that is both authentic and accessible. Her soulful and powerful voice carries the essence of the sacred mantras, guiding participants through waves of emotion — from quiet stillness to ecstatic joy.

Between chants, Akari shares the stories, meanings, and symbolism behind each mantra and deity, helping everyone connect with the practice in a personal and meaningful way.

Each Kirtan becomes a full journey through sound and spirit — where voices merge, hearts open, and the vibration of divine remembrance fills the space.

All are welcome. Bring your voice, or simply listen and receive.
Come with openness — no experience needed. Bring your heart 🤍
