Seattle (WA) Mantra love with Jai Uttal

Imagine an evening where your breath becomes sacred, where chanting your deepest intentions creates tangible shifts in your heart, and where a legendary kirtan artist guides you into states of devotion and unity. Mantra Love with Jai Uttal at All Pilgrims Church in Seattle offers exactly that: a transformative communal singing experience rooted in nearly five decades of spiritual artistry and heart-opening practice.

Jai Uttal—a Grammy® Award-nominated multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and pioneering kirtan teacher—brings his unique gift to Seattle on Sunday, October 25, 2026. Working alongside Ben Leinbach, a skilled breathwork facilitator, Jai creates an evening that weaves together Indian classical music, jazz, folk traditions, and conscious breathing into a seamless, soul-nourishing journey. Whether you're a kirtan veteran or discovering mantra singing for the first time, this event invites you to chant, breathe, and open into the infinite possibilities held within your own voice.

This is not a concert—it's a practice, a gathering, a homecoming.

What to Expect

You'll enter a sacred space held by the ancient tradition of kirtan: call-and-response devotional chanting that dissolves the boundary between singer and listener. Jai will lead you through mantras—melodic invocations in Sanskrit and other languages—while Ben weaves breathwork practices that anchor you in presence and expand your capacity for feeling. The evening flows naturally: you'll vocalize, breathe deeply, listen, and gradually settle into a state of quiet devotion.

Attendees leave with a palpable sense of peace, belonging, and inner opening—the fruits of communal sound, breath, and intention held together.
