Wheel of the Year, Lammas Kirtan Sound Journey – Sunday 3rd August

Step into a peaceful space of sound, stillness, and self-connection.

Kirtan is a heart-opening practice that uses music and mantra to guide you inward and find your vibration— helping release tension, awaken energy, and restore balance. It’s a form of sound therapy rooted in ancient tradition, yet deeply relevant for modern life.

Some chants are soothing and meditative, others are uplifting and energising. Each chant invites you to drop out of the busy mind and into the heart — creating space for stillness, clarity, and connection.

When: Sunday 3rd August, 5–7pm
Where: Heslington Meeting Rooms, York

Sign up: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSex9bOHEr269izqzIwzY2VJusuTbxCuXFB2480nRCFV6HdK9g/viewform

No experience needed – you can join in or simply relax and absorb the vibration. Come as you are and let the sound do the work.

A space to breathe, feel, and realign with your inner self through sacred sound and shared presence.

Bring a cushion and an open heart. Cups of tea provided. All are welcome.

Free of Charge: Voluntary donation to contribute to room hire

You are warmly invited to come and sit in circle with us this Sunday for Kirtan 3 til 5pm
Curious but unsure about Kirtan?
We sit in circle and all attendees are invited to lead and chant a song if they wish.
You don’t need to sing well, — just bring your heart.
Kirtan is not about performance; it’s about connection. A simple call-and-response of sacred sound that quietens the mind and opens the heart.

Whether you're longing for peace, healing, joy, or simply something different — come as you are.
Sit in the vibration of the circle, feel the energy shift, and let the sounds carry you.

You might just find exactly what your soul didn’t know it was looking for.
Please book in with Anji on 07786 255211
There's a small charge of £5 which goes to Oms foundation which pays the teachers of Oms free classes

Made of stars…hope this is true

https://www.facebook.com/share/19bDERRweN/?mibextid=wwXIfr

The calcium in your bones. The iron in your blood. The minerals in a single strand of your hair.
They weren’t born on Earth. They were born in stars.
Long ago, ancient suns fused lighter elements into heavier ones — iron, calcium, carbon — in their fiery cores.
And when those stars could no longer hold themselves together, they exploded across the cosmos, seeding the galaxy with life’s ingredients.

Those scattered atoms drifted, cooled, gathered again — into planets, oceans, people. Into you.
So the next time you see a hair glint in the sunlight, remember: it’s more than keratin.
It’s the shimmer of a supernova from a billion years ago — proof that you are, quite literally, made of stars.
