Jai Uttal Sarasota Events

Friday night is sold out.  Space is still available for the Awakening Bhakti Workshop on Saturday, April 27th (see below).  There will still be a lot of kirtan chanting in this event and it will be for three hours so come join us for this more intimate gathering.

Grammy-nominated Jai Uttal is a kirtan artist, multi-instrumentalist, ecstatic vocalist and a pioneer in the world music community with his combined influences from India and American rock and jazz. Jai has been leading, teaching and performing world music and kirtan—the ancient yoga of chanting or singing to God—around the world for close to 50 years, creating a safe environment for people to open their hearts and voices.

An Evening of Ecstatic Chant: Friday, April 26th, 8:00 to 10:00pm   SOLD OUT

Embark on a vocal journey through the sacred sounds of ancient India. With call-and-response group chanting and storytelling, Jai Uttal creates a space of invocation, prayer, and heartfelt expression. This meditative practice of calling to the divine creates a bridge between the individual and the eternal, opening the heart and welcoming the spirit. By singing these prayers and expressing a full range of emotions through our voices we join a stream of consciousness and devotion that has been flowing for centuries.

Awakening Bhakti Workshop: Saturday, April 27th, 1:08 to 4:08pm TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE

Bhakti Yoga is the path of personal relationship with Spirit, with God, with Goddess; it’s a relationship that includes all the flavors and moods of the human heart. In the journey of Bhakti, your emotions become the fuel to reconnect you with the Divine and help you to find healing and wholeness within yourself. Through singing kirtan you can explore, express, and share the deepest caverns of your soul—and ultimately find the eternal springs of love.

For everyone who loves and practices kirtan (chanting the ecstatic songs of ancient India), this workshop will fuel your soul. Jai will share and demystify some of the secrets of kirtan. For with just a little understanding of music and rhythm, and a lot of self-acceptance, we all can sing, lead, and share our hearts with others. The practice of chanting can become our teacher, guiding us home.
