Kirtan chanting @Button Factory
KIRTAN · A Night of Devotion, Voice & Unity
at The Button Factory
Join us for an evening of Kirtan - a sacred gathering where we open our voices together and remember the power of sound as prayer, meditation, and connection.
Through chanting, we create a shared field of presence, unity, and receptivity. As voices rise and intertwine, the music begins to resonate not only in the space around us, but within the very centre of our being.
Kirtan is a devotional practice that gently leads the mind into stillness and the heart into openness. It invites expression and surrender - a place where you can sing, move, dance, feel, or simply sit and receive. From this shared vibration, a deep state of meditation, peace, and belonging naturally unfolds.
This is a space to:
• Open your voice and heart
• Drop into embodied meditation
• Feel held in community
• Express through sound and movement
• Reconnect with joy, devotion, and inner peace
No previous experience is needed - your presence is enough.
🕡 7:00 – 8:30 pm
📍 The Button Factory
Tickets: HERE

Swami Amandeep has been holding Kirtan spaces for over 15 years, weaving mantra, meditation, and sacred sound into powerful devotional journeys. A certified Tantra teacher and long-time meditator, Amandeep brings depth, steadiness, and heart-led leadership to every circle he holds.
Valeska has been sharing Kirtan for over 6 years, offering a sensitive, intuitive, and embodied approach to devotional music.

Their Kirtans are known for their sincerity, warmth, and the way they gently guide people into a lived experience of unity, love, and inner stillness.

Invite your friends - the more energy, the more magic.
Please note:
This dance journey draws from the authentic tantric tradition - a path of embodiment, awareness, breath and connection with your own energy. It is a fully clothed, non-sexual practice focused on self-awakening and inner freedom.
The Sound Experiment
Sound Experiment - An Interactive Sound Experience
Sound Experiment is an immersive workshop inviting you to explore sound through curiosity, sensation, and direct experience.
This session is an experiment in listening - noticing how different sounds affect the body, nervous system, and state of mind, and how sound can become a simple yet powerful tool for relaxation and meditation in everyday life.
We begin with a gentle guided meditation to settle the mind and arrive fully in the body. From there, participants are guided through a series of sound experiments using everyday objects and unexpected sound sources. With eyes closed and awareness open, you’ll listen deeply, observe physical and emotional responses, and playfully guess the sounds you hear.
Rather than focusing on music or performance, this experience emphasizes embodied listening, perception, and awareness - allowing sound to be felt as much as it is heard.
The workshop concludes with a short crystal singing bowl journey, offering space for integration, settling, and deep relaxation.
No prior experience is needed.
Come curious, open, and ready to experiment with sound.

Namaste, dear friends,
Welcome to an enchanting and transformative journey through the sacred art of Kirtan! Prepare to immerse yourself in an evening filled with soul-stirring melodies, ancient chants, and heart-opening vibrations that will transport you to a realm of profound tranquility and connection.
Kirtan, a Sanskrit word meaning "narrating, reciting, telling, describing," holds within its essence the power to still the restless mind and awaken the deepest corners of your being when approached with a genuine intention.
In this gathering, we invite you to join us in the timeless tradition of call-and-response, where each mantra we chant is met with an echo from the collective, creating a symphony of unity and devotion. As the sacred sounds reverberate through the sacred space, a profound calmness will envelop your mind and heart, nurturing a sense of peace and tranquility that resonates long after the last note fades away.
No prior experience is required to participate in this captivating experience.
Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a curious soul taking your first step into the realm of Kirtan, our circle is open and welcoming to all. Simply bring yourself, an open heart, and a willingness to explore the depths of your own inner wisdom.
Join us in this sacred space as we sing from the depths of our hearts, allowing the music to weave its magic and unite us in a shared experience of divine bliss.

Self Love Yoga
Self-Love Yoga & Sound Integration
December 22nd | 10–11am
Tickets HERE
You are warmly invited into a nourishing hour of self-connection, presence, and deep listening.
This session begins with Self-Love Yoga - a simple, gentle practice guided by breath and awareness. Rather than pushing or striving, we move slowly and intuitively, attuning to the unique needs of your body in each moment.
This is a space to soften, to listen, and to reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom.
Through gentle breathwork, we quiet the mind and create space for ease and receptivity. The practice supports relaxation, grounding, and a deeper sense of being at home within yourself.
We then explore Loving Is Receiving Meditation - a tender, accessible meditation you can take into your daily life. This is a powerful yet simple tool for cultivating an inner sense of pure love, allowing yourself to receive rather than effort or perform.
The journey concludes with a Sound Integration using crystal singing bowls, supporting deep integration, nervous system regulation, and embodied presence.
No prior experience is needed. Come as you are - just bring your body, your breath, and your willingness to receive.
Sacred Heart Space - Sagittarius New Moon
Sacred Heart Space - End of Year Women’s Circle
Sacred Heart Space is a gentle, intentional gathering for women to slow down, reconnect, and come home to themselves.
On the last New Moon of the year, you are invited to step into a safe and nurturing circle facilitated by Jenny and Valeska. Together, we will create a heart-centered space to reflect on the year that has passed, honor what has shaped us, and consciously release what is ready to be laid down.
Through grounding, soft movement, guided inner journeying, and reflective inquiry, we will travel through the months of the year - witnessing both the nourishing moments and the challenges with kindness and compassion. There will be space for quiet reflection as well as optional sharing, held in deep presence and without judgment.
This circle is an invitation to close the year with awareness and intention, and to gently sense into what you wish to carry forward. A space to listen to your heart, to your body, and to the deeper longings within you.
Sacred Heart Space is about being seen, supported, and held in sisterhood - exactly as you are.
Facilitated by: Jenny & Valeska
When: Saturday 20th, 6:30–8:00 pm
Open to all women

Namaste, dear friends,
Welcome to an enchanting and transformative journey through the sacred art of Kirtan! Prepare to immerse yourself in an evening filled with soul-stirring melodies, ancient chants, and heart-opening vibrations that will transport you to a realm of profound tranquility and connection.

As the sacred sounds reverberate through the sacred space, a profound calmness will envelop your mind and heart, nurturing a sense of peace and tranquility that resonates long after the last note fades away.
No prior experience is required to participate in this captivating experience.
Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a curious soul taking your first step into the realm of Kirtan, our circle is open and welcoming to all. Simply bring yourself, an open heart, and a willingness to explore the depths of your own inner wisdom.
Join us in this sacred space as we sing from the depths of our hearts, allowing the music to weave its magic and unite us in a shared experience of divine bliss.
