Michigan Friends Center will host a special Mother’s Day gathering led by Full Moon Kirtan and Trevor Chaitanya Eller. The event will take place May 11, 2025, beginning with a community potluck from 5 to 6 p.m., followed by a kirtan from 6 to 8 p.m. Participants are encouraged to bring vegetarian dishes. All are welcome to attend.

Kirtan is a traditional form of devotional singing rooted in India’s Bhakti yoga tradition. Through the repetition of Sanskrit mantras, participants are invited into a meditative, heart-centered experience. This call-and-response practice fosters a profound sense of community and spiritual connection, welcoming people from all backgrounds.

Full Moon Kirtan is a monthly, non-sectarian gathering of yoga and Bhakti practitioners who come together to share music, intention and presence. Trevor Chaitanya Eller is co-owner of Ann Arbor Massage & Yoga Therapy.

Michigan Friends Center, located within Friends Lake Community, offers a tranquil, nature-oriented meeting place for holistic events including workshops, yoga classes and family gatherings. The scenic setting provides an ideal backdrop for an evening of music, mindfulness and community celebration.
