Experience the sublime beauty of sacred chant with Adam Bauer and a prayer performance with Tara.
In May, I found myself singing with Adam at the Holomovement Wave in Cascais — and I was deeply moved by his voice and presence.
On August 2nd, Adam is passing through Portugal again, and it’s a blessing to host him at Ocean’s Garden for an evening of devotional singing. 🙏
Tara will cook us a delicious Indian meal and join Adam with a prayer-performance.
My biggest wish is to welcome the Colares community — please join us.

A Kirtan and Satsang with sacred chant artist Adam Bauer is a deep immersion in Bhakti — the yoga of Devotion, a blissful union of hearts and voices carried on a current of music and love.
With his warm baritone voice and sonorous harmonium accompaniment, Adam leads his chanting sessions with a gentle, grounded energy, guiding participants to profound levels of conscious awareness.
Tara will be joining Adam with a prayer-performance rooted in her 13 years of living in India, devoted to Indian Classical Dance training and research. Together we will travel to the mystical temples of India and embody the sacred through devotional music and dance.
This is a not-for-profit event. Proceeds will go towards the artists and Kolkata Relief.
The Portuguese NGO Kolkata Relief is a highly effective and radically transparent non-profit which cares for homeless and slum families of Kolkata, India. Kolkata Relief QR codes will be available at the event for direct donation.
