Jai Uttal's Kirtan Camp in Costa Rica
With Guest Teacher Visvambhar Sheth
From July 26th to August 2nd 2025
Welcome to Jai's ever-growing Bhakti family! We invite you to
experience Jai's legacy of music and devotion, and explore the deep rivers of emotion that flow within all of our hearts.
At Kirtan Camp you will enjoy good company while dedicating hours to singing kirtan and to learning deeply about the ancient practices of Kirtan and Bhakti (Love).
In the beautiful setting of Blue Spirit in Costa Rica we will be surrounded and inspired by the ever blooming landscape of the tropical jungle and the sweet, warm waters of the nurturing, ever changing ocean.
With delicious food and delightful new friends, this is the perfect environment to go inward and expand outward in song, celebration and invocation
This retreat is for those who wish to enhance their Yoga teaching with chanting and for those who simply wish to immerse themselves in the vast ocean of Bhakti.
In this week long immersion we will share some of the many tools that we use in our Bhakti practices. Our hope is that everyone will leave this retreat with the inner experience and knowledge that we are all able to dive into this world of devotion and sing and share our hearts with others.
Subjects to be covered:
Kirtan – As the essential practice of Bhakti Yoga, Kirtan will be the main focus of this training.
Bhakti Yoga – Understanding the path of Bhakti as a journey of surrender and offering of one’s entire being to the Divine will.
