'The only thing better than singing is more singing' (Ella Fitzgerald)
"He who sings frightens away his ills" (Cervantes)
"Singing promotes health, breathing, circulation and digestion." (John Harvey Kellogg - Mr Cornflakes - 1931)
"He who knows the secrets of the sounds, knows the mystery of the whole universe." (Hazrat Inayat Khan, Sufi Master)

What is devotional chanting?

Chanting chooses sacred phrases or mantras from various traditions. They are sung repeatedly for minutes or hours and can create a strong feeling of community and connectedness.

Chanting can lead to mystic experiences beyond understanding. It helps to bring body mind and soul into balance and is very beneficial in our mind dominated society, especially for intellectuals.

Chanting is a joyful and easy way to let go of worries and depression. If you belong to the 80+% of the English population, who had traumatic experiences with singing earlier on: this is your chance! A gentle and joyful way with the benefit of healing these old blocks, helping to reclaim the power of your own voice.

Words can't really describe the experience of chanting with others: Feelings of joy from the inner child, ecstasy, stillness and peace, harmony, connectedness with yourself and others... All just by singing simple, mostly sacred songs from all over the world with an open heart in a joyful or meditative way. We sit together in a circle. All chants are easy to learn, so no textbooks or music have to be read. Many close their eyes while chanting.

Allow yourself to be touched and healed by the vibration of the voice. Share and experience the ways of spirituality, the truth and the light in their various manifestations:
the wisdom of Native American traditions, the joy of Jewish melodies, the magic of Indian bhajans, the depth of Sufi dances, the power of Islamic mantras, the roots of Christian mysticism and the harmonies of Taizé, the gentleness of Buddhist chants, the reconnection with the female creativity - and many straightforward songs of love.

You are welcome, no matter what you think about your own voice or any religions. We tune in to the vibration of our soul and move into greater degree of harmony in our energy system. Join us to celebrate life and praise life, the creation and the creator.

Some evenings may have a special focus (see Chanting & Peace dance Programme) and consist of Dances and Chanting matching the theme of the evening. You don't need to be religious to enjoy this experience, but it helps if you are open minded. Free spirit - free voice.
