Join Tim Chalice (harmonium & vocals) for this special evening of Kirtan - a meditative mantra practice from Bhakti Yoga. He'll be joined by incredible percussionist David Oliver. This is the first time Tim & David have come to share Kirtan at Intr Studio in Bedminster, Bristol.
Kirtan chanting offers a joyful and accessible gateway into deep meditation, inviting us to gently rest in the present moment. As we immerse ourselves in the rhythmic repetition of simple mantras, the mind begins to quiet, and we are drawn into a space of inner stillness and peace.
The sacred practice of chanting mantras is a wellspring of joy and soul nourishment. A profound stillness arises from this devotion—a silence that is not empty, but full of presence. This silence is a vital thread woven into all of Tim's sessions. Tim offers devotional chants, both meditative and ecstatic, invoking ancient Sanskrit mantras and occasional English words, carried on simple, heart-opening melodies. Through repetition, these mantras become portals—sacred keys that unlock the heart and dissolve the illusion of separation. Chanting becomes a prayer in motion, inviting us to voice our spirit without fear or judgment. In this space, we return to the oneness within, and compassion naturally awakens like a flower opening to the light.
This practice is for everyone — no experience needed. All that’s required is a willingness to be present and open to whatever unfolds. Whether you're seeking calm after a busy week, the joy of singing with others, a way to connect with the Divine, or a moment of heartfelt stillness, chanting meets you exactly where you are.
Tim's heartfelt music offers a space for stillness, joy, and deep connection. Blending ancient mantras with soulful melodies, Tim's Kirtan invite participants to open their voices and awaken their hearts. Whether you're new to Kirtan or a long-time practitioner, Tim’s music serves as a bridge — connecting tradition with contemporary spiritual practice. His gentle presence and intuitive musicality create an inclusive and uplifting environment for all.
Tim Chalice has been leading Kirtan for nearly 20 years, appearing at many bhakti and yoga festivals, gatherings and retreats, as well as releasing two Kirtan CDs.
