About East Coast Chant
East Coast Chant is divinely-inspired contemporary kirtan. It's a tapestry of music, sound, chants, guided imagery and planetary service woven together with threads of Light by everyone present. It’s an uplifting, transforming, expressive and participatory experience for everyone. "Nectar for the Soul!"
East Coast Chant builds on the powerful foundations of traditional Kirtan and devotional singing from India then adds other musical cultures and channeled mantras to create a contemporary experience that embodies both established and emerging spiritual, metaphysical and scientific knowledge, and sound healing practices for this new millennium.
East Coast Chant offers tidbits of wisdom and opportunities for personal healing from the inside out. You choose what you wish to experience.
East Coast Chant is an opportunity for world service. As a group we remain awake and aware of our oneness in the Source of All There Is as we create a powerful energy field that we consciously use to send out waves of Divine Energy and Light to heal ourselves, our loved ones, and the planet.
East Coast Chant invites you to have both an intimate time with your inner Divine and an entertaining experience you can enjoy and lose yourself in for awhile.

Why the name East Coast Chant?
East Coast refers to the East Coast of the United States, though it could also represent the east coast of any continent. I chose ‘East Coast’ because I’ve lived in and around Boston Massachusetts my whole life so far, and this is where the concept was created.
The Sun rises in the east and the ocean is a powerful force of nature and life, so East Coast conveys images of new life and beginnings, and a force that is powerful, encompassing, fiery and central to life. In this musical context, East Coast also conveys a cool, contemporary sound that hopefully brings to mind the unplanned, Divinely inspired, improvisational nature of some of what happens.
I chose the word Chant rather than Music or Sound or Kirtan, or the name of a specific musical genre, because what we sing isn't just one style of music and the audience isn't just listening. People are invited to experience the unifying power and healing force of sacred sounds, syllables and intentions when sung, spoken or danced together in a group.
