Kirtan and Satsung - Mind Cleansing and Sound Healing.

Centre of You is pleased to be hosting Dr.Hari Haran, internationally renowned kirtan & meditation specialist, mantra expert & sound healer during his Australian visit from India.

About this experience:

Dr.Hari Haran will guide kirtan and teach satsang. This intends to be a mind-cleansing experience of self-realisation aided by mantras and kirtan whereby the names of Ganesh, Siva, Vishnu, Lakshmi, Devi, Parvati, Hanuman and Durga are chanted in a call and response participatory fashion. Kirtan and satsung will be followed in receivership of a chakra sound healing.

Kirtan is a beautiful, heartfelt, expansive experience of co-creating devotional music expressed from the soul alongside the kindred in community.

No experience necessary at all.

Things to note:

Centre of You has plenty of bolsters, blankets, and cushions for you to get cosy with. A journal is recommended as are any familiar personal items that will aid you in feeling grounded (crystal, teddy, scarf, etc).

Arrival: Endeavour to arrive between 6:45pm - 7:00pm. To preserve the experience for all involved, doors will close at 7:15pm. Truly, it breaks our heart to have to turn latecomers away yet the disruption to the whole group experience by virtue of lateness does require management. We ask that you find understanding and consideration for the timebound nature of the container and make every effort to arrive on time.

Driving: Know Centre of You is on Chapel St and ample time to find a car spot is best to be factored into your plans. Park direct on Chapel St (spots unmetered after 5pm) or in Anchor Place, the open-air parking lot in the side street that runs opposite Centre of You (unmetered after 4pm).

Public transport - tram: Both the number 6 tram & 78 tram stop on the corner of High St/Chapel St. This is stop 31 on the number 6 tram (Moreland/Glen Iris) & stop 45 on the number 78 tram (North Richmond/Balaclava).

Public transport - train: Both Prahran & Windsor stations along the Sandringham Line will get you walking distance to Centre of You.
