We have on property at Jakes a Kirtan musician - Alyssa Cohen (from Toronto) - who is going to do a performance Thursday, March 15 at 8:30 pm - 9.30 pm at the Driftwood Spa Deck.

She has connected with a local singer Lenya Wilks and a drummer from Beeston Spring called Janoi -- she herself plays the harmonium.

To the best of my understanding (and experience) Kirtan is guided meditation through music and chanting. But I have also attached this link for those who want more information:

We were lucky enough to have Alyssa here through the Christmas holidays and she in fact did one of these sessions on New Years Day. It was awesome and very very relaxing; I highly recommend.

The session is going to be by donation; there is no bodywork, you will be seated so just wear something comfortable and come with an open mind!
