Bhakti Singing Circle at Mind In, Zürich
An evening of devotional singing at Mind In on Weststrasse in Zürich, led by Flavia Ghidossi and Zoe Rüegg, with mantras and medicine songs in Sanskrit, English, Spanish and German. The circle runs on donation and no singing experience is asked for.
Why it caught our eye
What makes this circle stand out is that it asks for your voice rather than your skill. Songs come from several wisdom traditions, and the evening is carried by live guitar, harmonium, shruti box, drum and rattle rather than a recording. It feels like a good choice for someone who has wanted to sing in company but would rather not perform. You are welcome to bring an instrument, or a song you would like the circle to learn.
What you can expect
A relaxed gathering built around group singing, with mantras and medicine songs in Sanskrit, English, Spanish and German, accompanied live on guitar, harmonium, shruti box, drum and rattle. Flavia and Zoe describe each circle as its own evening rather than a repeated set, shaped by who is in the room and what people bring.
