What’s happening?
Toowoomba locals are invited to a free evening of sacred music and meditation this March.
Enchanting Kirtan: Sacred World Music & Meditation Experience will be held at St Luke’s Anglican Church Hall on Saturday 14 March from 6.30pm to 8.30pm.
The event is part of a regional tour bringing this long-standing musical meditation practice to communities across Australia.
Kirtan is a form of musical meditation practised for centuries around the world. Through live music, guided mantra singing and quiet reflection, participants are encouraged to relax and breathe.
The evening begins with gentle breath meditation before flowing into live music and chanting in a welcoming space.
Guests can sing, hum, clap, sway, dance or simply listen.
“People often arrive not quite sure what to expect,” says event organiser Janina.
“They leave saying they feel lighter, clearer, and peaceful. It’s incredibly simple, but very powerful.”
Why it matters?
In a time when many feel stretched and distracted, this event offers a chance to pause.
It provides a shared space for calm, connection and reflection on a Saturday night.
The event is run entirely by volunteers as a gift to the community. While free to attend, donations are welcomed to support future regional events.

This is a rare chance to experience sacred world music and meditation locally, without cost.
All ages are welcome. The format is open and flexible, making it accessible for first-timers and regular practitioners alike.
