Join us for a joyful afternoon of simple sacred songs and chants celebrating Samhain, the beginning of winter and honouring the Ancestors

Counting our Blessings and honouring the Earth and our connection with songs and chants; sending healing out with our voices, reconnecting us to deeper parts of ourselves and All Our Relations.

We shall sing some of our familiar chants and some special ones for Samhain, honouring the ancestors, giving thanks for the last Harvest and honouring the darkness, introspection and magic of the coming winter.

We will be in the lovely cosy yurt at the beautiful Quiet View for an afternoon session of joyful songs and chants with a break for for tea and healthy snacks. The garden is beautiful at QV so we may be able to share some time outside with the beautiful trees, birds and other wildlife.

The songs are simple, yet powerful, especially when sung as a group. No experience necessary. Suitable for beginners and those with more experience might enjoy adding harmony parts. We will also try some simple rounds. We will start with simple warmups for breath, body and voice.

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.

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 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
