why chanting?
Chanting reaches deep into the past of our ancient ancestors as far as when we learnt that the sound of our voices could empower us.The definition of a chant is a song, melody or mantra repeated over and over again to raise power with the energies formed. The power and intention put into a chant can change its dynamic completely: from soft and gentle like a lullaby to bring calm and settle into a dream state, or strong and powerful to raise the energies for ritual, healing and clearing spaces etc.When people gather together and raise their voices in chant, they share a language so much stronger than just words. Chanting has the power to interrupt negativity, lift our spirits and invite positive change for our wellbeing. Using a chant can help regulate your breathing, release endorphins and put you into a meditative state.

Journey into your Heart with Chants of Light
chants of light
On our Chants of Light evenings, we sing Sacred Songs from various languages and cultures from all over the world. As we are on zoom you are muted so you can enjoy Sam's beautiful voice. A Chant is a song, melody or mantra repeated over and over again to create a feeling of peace, wellbeing and to shift energies. The power and intention put into a chant can change its dynamic completely: from soft and gentle like a lullaby to bring calm and settle into a like dream state, or strong and powerful to raise the energies for release, healing and clearing spaces etc. Chanting can help regulate your breathing, release endorphins and settle your nervous system, helping to calm any stress or anxiety.When people gather together and raise their voices in chant, they share a language so much stronger than just words. Chanting has the power to release negativity, lift our spirits and invite positive change for our wellbeing.The Chants of Light evening is a more meditative experience than our in person Drum & Chant, we begin with an upbeat short song or chant then we guide a more meditative experience with the chants. It is on the second Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm and is only £8.
