About This Event

Come join us for a joyful afternoon of simple sacred songs and chants celebrating Equinox the balance point and start of the dark half Songs and chants that honour Mother Earth, sending healing out with our voices to our beautiful Earth, reconnecting us to deeper parts of ourselves and All Our Relations. A special session at a very special venue. The Quiet View has a beautiful quiet garden where we can share some of the time outside (if weather permits) with the beautiful trees and birds (red kites and buzzards are regular visitors overhead along with lots of other smaller birds living and visiting the garden) . We are also blessed to use the beautiful cosy yurt, where we will be for most of the session. Celebrate Equinox, the balance point, and time of abundance before we slip into the dark half of the year - in song. Acknowledging, celebrating and giving thanks for those things we have tended in our lives this year and looking at where we need more balance, looking at gently slowing down as the wheel turns. Honour our beautiful Mother Earth and the elements with simple sacred songs and chants; sending healing out with our voices, reconnecting us to deeper parts of ourselves and All Our Relations. The songs are simple, yet powerful, especially when sung as a group. No experience necessary. Suitable for beginners but those with more experience will be welcome to add harmony parts. We will also do some simple rounds, these are usually the most trancelike and magical and joyful. And the simple songs sung in harmony are described as "delicious wholesome joy". We will also try some simple rounds. We will start with simple warmups for breath, body and voice. All songs taught by ear, natural voice style so suitable for all voices - confident and less so. There will be some opportunity to add drums too and/or other percussion for some of the songs if you would like to, so if you have them you are invited to bring them to add to the healing energy and soundscape. We shall sing some of our familiar chants and some celebrating autumn and the Equinox. The songs are very meditative and usually felt as nurturing, joyful, uplifting and connective. The songs help take us into a gentle, meditative state. Please bring something you love or meaningful to connect with the Earth- stone, plant, crystal, feathers, natural object if you wish.

I felt truly blessed to be be able to spend time with beautiful people in such a peaceful setting.” “I really enjoyed the Solstice Sacred Chants this afternoon, I’m actually quite shy, even a little group phobic, something I’m working on, but really got into it and loved it, got out of my head and into the space and met some amazing people. It was a great afternoon, and I’m still feeling its healing and peaceful effects.” M.B. “Of all the different spiritual practices I do, your Solstice Chants are top of the list” MB We also have a shorter Earth Chants session every second Monday of the month in Whitstable 2-3:30pm at Shakti Den (9th June, 14th July, 10th August) where we have a different sound or voice session each week.
