Join us for this special intimate, meditative evening of Kirtan at the Light House in Bristol. The session is advance bookings only and numbers are limited to just 13, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
 
Chanting is a sacred gift — an expression of divine grace. It offers a joyful and accessible gateway into deep meditation, inviting us to gently rest in the present moment. As we immerse ourselves in the rhythmic repetition of simple mantras, the mind begins to quiet, and we are drawn into a space of inner stillness and peace.
 
The sacred practice of chanting mantras is a wellspring of joy and soul nourishment. I am continually moved by the profound stillness that arises from this devotion—a silence that is not empty, but full of presence. This silence is a vital thread woven into all of my sessions. I offer devotional chants, both meditative and ecstatic, invoking ancient Sanskrit mantras and occasional English words, carried on simple, heart-opening melodies that are accessible to the Western ear. Through repetition, these mantras become portals—sacred keys that unlock the heart and dissolve the illusion of separation. Chanting becomes a prayer in motion, inviting us to voice our spirit without fear or judgment. In this space, we return to the oneness within, and compassion naturally awakens like a flower opening to the light.
 
This practice is for everyone — no experience needed. All that’s required is a willingness to be present and open to whatever unfolds. Whether you're seeking calm after a busy week, the joy of singing with others, a way to connect with the Divine, or a moment of heartfelt stillness, chanting meets you exactly where you are.
