WITH NIKKI SLADE
For over 20 years Nikki Slade, Anna Ashby, Jean Hall and other brilliant teachers have come together for the finale of The Urban Retreat.
The finale kirtan will be led by Nikki Slade accompanied by Sulekh Ruparell and Anna Ashby and singers.
Letting Go of 2026 Kirtan is open to everyone.
Join us on New Year’s Eve afternoon to open our hearts and voices, let go of all the burdens of 2026 and give gratitude for all the gifts we have received.
Kirtan opens your heart, uplifts your spirit and purifies the barriers to your inner Self. Discover the great power and freedom that lies in the expression of your voice when you connect to your inner Self through chanting.
You do not have to be a singer or have any musical ability to chant. Just bring your heart and your willingness to dive within with enthusiasm!
Bring your family – children age 10 years and above are welcome and can come for free.
