With Leo and Sundara
Accompanied by harmonium and guitar, we’ll sing devotional songs in English. These original songs are based on prayers and sayings from spiritual traditions around the world.
Leo and Sundara have been leading singing events together since 2003. Sundara plays the harmonium and Leo plays the guitar to accompany these songs. Having two instruments present enables people to sing freely and to relax into the experience, supported by the music.
No prior experience is necessary. For more information about these Singing Sanctuary evenings, see this page.
Doors open at 7pm. Come early for a cup of tea and a chat if you like. No need to book in advance.

Taizé Singing
2026-04-26 19:30 - 21:00, 2026-06-28 19:30 - 21:00
The songs of Taizé are easy to learn and uplifting to sing.
Taizé is a Christian monastery in the South of France famous for its beautiful songs. We’ll sing them in three or four part harmony, in Latin as well as various European languages. We’ll have a time for silent prayer also. We’ll keep teaching to a minimum and sing for the pure enjoyment of the devotional atmosphere that these songs evoke.
The Dragon Sanctuary Choir will be supporting this event, so that all singers will be able to easily hear and learn their part.
Leo and Sundara started leading Taizé singing in 2003, at the Findhorn Community in Scotland. These events are open to people of all faiths and none. No prior experience is necessary. For more information about these Taizé evenings, see this page.
Doors open at 7pm. Come early for a cup of tea and a chat if you like. No need to book in advance, just pay with cash or card on the night.

Kirtan Singing
2026-05-10 19:30 - 21:00, 2026-06-14 19:30 - 21:00
With Leo and Sundara
Accompanied by harmonium and guitar, we will sing Indian devotional chants based on simple mantras. These “sung prayers” invoke the qualities of Indian deities such as love, creativity, courage and wisdom. These qualities are all present within us and can be brought more fully into our lives by singing together in this way.

Harmonic Temple
2026-05-31 19:30 - 21:00
The Harmonic Temple songs, created by Nickomo Clarke, are sung in 3 or 4 part harmony and are based on prayers and sayings from spiritual traditions around the world.
Nickomo was inspired by the songs of Taize and wanted to create songs that were similarly easy to learn and uplifting to sing but drawn from all faiths. Some of his compositions are awe-inspiringly beautiful.
The songs are learned by ear (no sheet music) and then, when we are confident of our part, we can move around the room, experiencing the harmonies all around us, literally creating a Harmonic Temple with our voices.
The Dragon Sanctuary Choir will be supporting this event, so that all singers will be able to easily hear and learn their part.
Leo and Sundara began leading Harmonic Temple songs in 2003, while living at the Findhorn Community in Scotland. For more about the Harmonic Temple, see this page.
No prior experience is required. Come early for a cup of tea if you like, doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start.

The King Who Became a Dog
2026-06-21 19:00 - 21:00
There are moments in life when something opens up inside.
A sense of flow.
A feeling of being guided.
A glimpse of how life could be.
And then… somehow, we lose it.
We try to hold onto it, or control it, or fit it into the life we already have — and it slips away. Or we push it aside altogether, because it asks more of us than we’re ready to give.
This evening of storytelling explores that territory.
Through two original stories — one of a king who loses something essential and must find his way back to it, and one of a young woman who can hear the language of birds, only to find herself drawn into unexpected consequences. We’ll move through themes of:
Following what feels right — and then turning away from it
Neglecting what matters, and the slow work of remembering
The question of what it really means to live in alignment with what you know to be true
Leo has been telling stories for over three decades. Sundara has been immersed in music since childhood. They’ve been working together for over 20 years.
Spaces are limited. Booking in advance is recommended.
