“Zoom Chant” is a special opportunity to explore the power of chant and mantra to unlock the true resonance of the voice.

We come together to explore the profound power of sound and intention. Chanting is the practice of repeating sacred sounds, words, and melody that resonate deeply within the body and mind. Drawing from world traditions, we incorporate universal mantras that carry vibrations of peace, healing, and unity. These mantras, rooted in wisdom from various cultures, create a shared space of harmony and connection. In these sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to carve out time for yourself—a sacred pause from the demands of daily life. Chanting calms the mind, balances emotions, and fosters a sense of inner peace and presence. The collective energy of the group magnifies these benefits, even when shared virtually. Whether you’re seeking to connect with others, deepen your spiritual practice, or simply find a moment of stillness, this is a space for you.

Come as you are, and allow the sound to guide you inward. Together, let’s create a rhythm of balance and harmony to carry into our lives.

We will meet via ZOOM. Once booked I will send details of how to connect. You will need to download Zoom on your phone or computer. If you are unable to make the session(s) you can watch on catchup available for one week.
