Join Us for Kirtan with Adam Bauer
Friday, March 20th 7pm-9pm
Adam Bauer is coming to Minneapolis to share Kirtan with us as a benefit to Nokomis Yoga Neighbor Families Sheltering in Place.
Due to limited space, you will need a ticket for this event. All proceeds go to the fundraiser.
Adam spent years playing bass with sacred chant pioneer Krishna Das and later with Bhakti Yoga scholar and practitioner Shyamdas. He's been leading Kirtan programs globally since 2012.
A kirtan and satsang with sacred chant artist Adam Bauer is a deep immersion in bhakti-- the yoga of devotion, a blissful union of hearts and voices carried on a current of music and love. With his warm baritone voice and sonorous harmonium accompaniment, Adam leads his chanting sessions with a gentle, grounding energy, guiding participants to profound levels of conscious awareness. Adam sings and offers workshops, programs and coaching sessions worldwide, enchanting and inspiring listeners with his deep, soulful voice and presence wherever he goes.
All proceeds from this event will go to our GoFundMe fundraiser to help meet our goal for supporting our neighbor families financially affected by ICE. While the family members are beginning to go back to work and school, support is still needed to compensate for lost wages. Thank you so much for your help.
To donate directly to the fundraiser, please see the link below.
