Celebrating the Promise of Spring, the knowledge that Spring is on its way. Much of the growth is hidden in the dark earth, ready to shoot and flower but things are sprouting and will soon be seen.
Honour our beautiful Mother Earth and the elements with simple sacred songs and chants; sending healing out with our voices, reconnecting us to deeper parts of ourselves and All Our Relations.
We will be in the lovely cosy yurt at the beautiful Quiet View with our lovely woodburner for an afternoon session of joyful songs and chants with a break for for tea and healthy snacks. If the weather is good enough we will also share a little time in the lovely garden.
The songs are simple, yet powerful, especially when sung as a group. No experience necessary. Suitable for beginners and those with more experience might enjoy adding harmony parts. We will also try some simple rounds. We will start with simple warmups for breath, body and voice.
There will be some opportunity to add drums too for some of the songs if you would like to, so if you have one you are invited to bring it to add to the healing energy. Or any simple percussion or instant access instruments.
We shall sing some of our familiar chants and some celebrating the festival of Imbolc- the energy shift between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox, a time when although we are noticing it getting lighter again, winter is often at its coldest and bleakest. But new growth largely unseen under the earth is springing into life.
The songs are very meditative and usually felt as nurturing, joyful, uplifting and connective. The songs help take us into a gentle, meditative state.
Please bring something you love or meaningful to connect with the Earth- stone, plant, crystal, feathers, natural object if you wish.
The time disappears quickly and we have lots of lovely herbal teas and healthy and tasty snacks
The session is followed by a Soundbath in the evening (with hot food provided for those that would like to join for both) please join us for either or both sessions.
We have a shorter one of these sessions every second Monday of the month in Whitstable -3:30pm on 13th Jan and 10th Feb
**This session is followed by a Soundbath 6:30pm with food (provided ) and connection time in between. Welcome to join either or both sessions.**
Feedback from previous attendees:
“Thank you so much for another beautiful day at the Quiet View. I felt truly blessed to be be able to spend time with beautiful people in such a peaceful setting.”
“I really enjoyed the Solstice Sacred Chants this afternoon, I’m actually quite shy, even a little group phobic, something I’m working on, but really got into it and loved it, got out of my head and into the space and met some amazing people. It was a great afternoon, and I’m still feeling its healing and peaceful effects.” M.B.
“Of all the different spiritual practices I do, your Solstice Chants are top of the list” MB

Come for Earth Chants in the afternoon and stay for the Soundbath, or just come to either. People love our Soundbath at the beautiful Quiet View. Experiencing sacred, healing and therapeutic sound in a circular space is very special.
Time to relax and restore. Apart from the deep nourishing relaxation and the enjoyment of being bathed in sound, benefits people often experience are increased sense of self awareness, feeling more connected to self and life, feeling cleansed or clearer, reduced stress and anxiety, help with pain control. You may also receive information or insight.
During this sort of sound work, as the brainwaves entrain to a slower rhythm, we enter a state of consciousness akin to meditation where stress hormones lower, blood pressure and heart rate drop and the brain’s sodium and potassium levels can be balanced. In this state, cellular regeneration can occur.
The BAST method of sound bath meditation is designed to help facilitate this very deep relaxed state. People usually find sound an easier way to achieve this state than by meditating.
Apart from the deep relaxation there’s also usually a great feel-good factor.
Please bring a yoga mat, pillow, blanket and bottle of water

“Thank you! I set my intention that my knees would be less painful and they have been great today! Wonderful sound bath as usual. My friends loved it too and are hoping to book on to the next one with a couple of their friends.” Nina Dougall

“Thank you so much for the sound bath yesterday. I’ve woken up full of the joys of spring and a renewed enthusiasm for life. And i did have a fantastic deep nights sleep too.”
“I went to a gong bath in A Quiet View in Kingston, near Canterbury. It was a magical event put on by the wonderful Naomy Raven. Do check out her work. I’m mega impressed.”
“I’m sure Naomy Raven could explain it better. I It’s aural, physical and spiritual experience. We make ourselves comfortable on the floor with rugs and cushions, and close our eyes. It starts gently with the sound of the smaller gongs. We allow the different sound waves to envelop us. This gradually builds up and includes a very large gong. It’s wonderful and absorbing. The sound of the large gong gets louder and louder, not by bashing but in a very subtle way. We also hear the rain sound tube Then it all slowly fades away and allows us to embrace the silence.”
