Sold Out‘Love Songs for the Heart’: Mantra and Meditation Day Retreat with Sasha

Saturday 4th September 10:30 until 3:30 This is an outdoor event with Shelter if needed.

People have been chanting mantras in Buddhist and other spiritual traditions for thousands of years.  During this retreat we will chant Buddhist Mantras in the ancient languages of Pali and Sanskrit, and in English as a meditative and mindful practice. 

Chanting will accompanied by the harmonium (Indian keyboard reed instrument), and be alongside periods of sitting and movement/walking meditation.

Mantra practice can work on many levels: 

  • Singing mantras can bring together awareness of body, mind and heart through direct here and now experience.
  • It can help to quiet the chatter of our habitual mind. 
  • Positive qualities, such as loving kindness, compassion and gratitude, can be evoked and cultivated.  
  • In singing from the present heart our voice can be an instrument for joy, stillness and freedom.
  • Sound and silent meditation complement and support each other.

Anyone is welcome to attend regardless of singing or meditation experience. 

Due to low numbers for this date, we have rescheduled the event for the 2nd October 2021

 

We're sorry, but all tickets sales have ended because the event is expired.

Sasha’s spiritual home is within Theravada Thai Forest Buddhist tradition, and she also feels an affinity to the Interbeing Practice of Thich Nhat Hanh. 

She attended her first meditation retreat 25 years ago and singing mantras has become an important part of her practice.  Sasha will share some traditional Buddhist mantras such Om Mani Padme Hum, Shakyamuni Buddha and Maitri Buddha which she has composed melodies for, as well as mantras that she has learnt over the years.
