Kirtan singing meditation and sound healing gatherings in Austin.
The Austin Yoga Meditation Group runs sound healing and kirtan sessions in Austin. Their main offering, Harmony for the Soul, is a kirtan singing meditation where participants chant together, usually accompanied by live instruments. Kirtan is call-and-response chanting, not performance. You sing along, even if you don't know the words yet. The group leans into that participatory quality.
Sound healing and kirtan overlap here. The sessions use voice and music as the primary tools, so expect singing, not lying still while someone plays crystal bowls (though that's a fine thing too, just not what this group does). The emphasis is on collective sound, on a room full of people making noise together and settling into something calmer because of it.
Details beyond that are sparse. If you're curious about kirtan or want to try group chanting without a big commitment, this is a low-key entry point.
