Hearing the Call (And The Response): An Introduction to What I Have Learned about Service Leading from Eighteen Years of Kirtan Practice
Rabbi Andrew Hahn, Ph.D.

Date & Time of Workshop: Wed. Jan. 11, 2023 1:30-3:00pm MT

Kirtan involves much than “I sing a line, you sing it back.” Subtle interactions take place between leader and community, not exclusive to: mutual sense of space; playfulness and improvisation; learning to blend; and—most of all—listening. In this session, we will focus on becoming  radical “hearers,” especially when leading services, with a focus on how we sing and chant. Through concrete and easily repeatable exercises, we will discover ways to practice becoming less, so that our congregants can become more. 
​

Kirtan Rabbi has traveled the world, pioneering Hebrew Kirtan at retreats, festivals, synagogues, and yoga studios. A long-time practitioner of tai chi and related arts, he seamlessly combines chant, movement, meditation and psycho-acoustical exercises to offer a grounded, musical encounter with ecstatic consciousness. His discography includes three CDs and singles.
