Join Ambika and Mirabai Starr as they share their stories and personal connections to the mysticism found at the core of various faith traditions. Both Mirabai and Ambika are part of the Neem Karoli Baba satang, and have each in their own way connected deeply to spiritual practices from different religions. Ambika will lead chanting, including her new single, Ubi Caritas, along with gospel and traditional songs. Mirabai will read passages and poems from some of the beautiful books she has written about mystics. The event will be live-streamed on the Brooklyn Kirtan Collective Facebook Page.
