The Art & Practice
of Kirtan
Open your heart. Awaken your voice. Live in devotion — every single day.
Beyond Learning Songs —
Into Truly Embodying the Practice
Whether you are new to chanting or have been practicing for years, there comes a moment when you feel called to go deeper. This 365-day journey is an invitation into that deeper space with a dedicated community that will join you every step of the way.
Guided by Jai Uttal, you will move step by step through the foundations, the deepening, and the expression of kirtan — supported within a shared container of practice, reflection, and devotion.
This experience is designed to help you integrate kirtan into your daily life. Not just as something you do — but as something you live.
Our first Live class is September 27, 2026 - As soon as you sign up you have access to the full online course materials.
A Complete Yearlong
Devotional Container

As we practice, our relationship to the mantras and the deities gets deeper and deeper. It is important to be authentic in our singing and to express what we are feeling in each new moment. Kirtan is like an oil rig, digging into the vast well of feelings, vulnerabilities, wounds and dreams and joy. As we slowly develop the art of chanting we become more able to reach those places of openness and connection.
