Cave Concerts featuring Kirtan (chanting) with Jai Uttal & Alan Tower September 13, 2008

A unique and unforgettable evening of sound and spirit...

Join co-sponsors, The Green Music Network and BayKeeper, for the 8th annual epic journeys of sound in the Hawk Hill Cave overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge.

On September 13th connect with "Kirtan" (chanting) in the cave with Jai Uttal and special guest Alan Tower. Embark on a vocal journey through the sacred sounds of ancient India with this call-and-response group chanting and storytelling. Jai Uttal creates a space of invocation, prayer, and heartfelt expression.

Drawing from an unbroken tradition of Indian devotional singing, Jai will introduce the ancient practice of "kirtan" (or chanting), the heart of devotional yoga. This meditative practice of calling to the divine creates a bridge between the individual and the eternal, opening the heart and welcoming the spirit. Jai will relate stories from the spiritual epics of India as well as from his personal experiences to create a modern context in which to explore this tradition.

"These ancient chants," writes Jai "contain a transformative power and healing energy. 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."

Join us for these melodic meditations of new sound and witness the cave itself become a part of the sonic journey. Cave opens at 8:30pm. Hawk Hill Tunnel is off Conzelman Road in the Marin Headlands.
