Umina Beach Yoga’s recent Community Kirtan Event raised more than $600 for the Red Cross Syria and Turkey Earthquake appeal.
Musicians Geeti and Gyan, Mark O’Brien and Louisa Fenn joined to create a beautiful evening of soulful chanting, meditation, sound healing and community connection.
The popular event was held at the Umina Beach Yoga studio to raise awareness of the ongoing crisis in Turkey and Syria and to raise much-needed funds.
Thousands of people were killed and tens of thousands injured after two major earthquakes struck Turkey and northern Syria on Monday, February 6.
Survivors are starting the journey to recovery after the largest earthquake in more than a century.
Millions of people are displaced and many continue to leave areas affected by the earthquake to seek shelter with loved ones, in neighbouring cities or in emergency shelters.
Urgent needs include shelter, health and mental health services, sanitation, food, and water.
