Outstanding location
Nestled in the hills of North California, in the San Francisco Bay Area
Mount Madonna retreat center, home to a Hanuman Temple, is located just 2 hours away from San Francisco and 1 hour from San Jose.
Rooted in the teachings of Baba Hari Dass, it offers a serene environment for yoga, meditation, and personal transformation.
The campus features diverse accommodations, vegetarian meals, and forested trails. Known for its tranquil atmosphere and rich spiritual heritage, Mount Madonna provides a supportive setting for a devotional chant-filled journey inward and community connection.
This festival was born from a simple truth: chanting changed our lives.
We are friends and family who discovered the power of Kirtan — not just as music, but as a profound spiritual practice that opened our hearts, grounded our minds, and deepened our connection to something greater. Over time, chanting didn’t just inspire us — it transformed us.
Moved by this transformation, we felt called to create a space where others could experience the same. So, we came together — not as producers or promoters, but as volunteers — to co-create a kirtan gathering in Northern California. A space where voices rise together in devotion. A space where ancient mantras meet the present moment. A space for unconditional love.
This festival is our offering — a stage for those who have dedicated their lives to this sacred path, and a circle wide enough to include all who feel drawn to it.
No salaries or dividends are distributed; All proceeds go directly to the artists and to nurturing a truly life-changing experience for you. We are here to honor the practice, serve the community, and chant, chant, chant.
