Yoga4 filmed the House of Bliss end of year Chant Festival, 30th November 2019. Australia was in a serious drought and we were at the start of what was to be a horrendous and devastating summer of bushfires. Everyone came together for 12 hours of singing meditation, uniting as a community, creating incredible and potent uplifting energy and casting our intentions for peace and healing in the World.
It was an amazing contribution by the musicians, organisers and volunteers who all donated their time for this event - which raised $2580 for the Mullumbimby and District Neighbourhood Centre.
For more information about House of Bliss and our regular kirtans throughout the year, please find us on Facebook.
House of Bliss is a not-for-profit Yoga Collective in Mullumbimby, Australia - run by musicians for the purpose of coming together in community to sing, dance, chant, celebrate. We mostly chant the ancient holy Sanskrit mantras, in "call and response" style, and always accompanied by a fantastic live band of musicians with a high quality music experience for all.
