SUMMARY:Kirtan Singing
DESCRIPTION:With Leo and Sundara. \nAccompanied by harmonium and guitar\, we will sing Indian devotional chants based on simple mantras. These “sung prayers” invoke the qualities of Indian deities like Shiva\, Krishna\, Durga\, Saraswati and Ganesha\, qualities such as love\, creativity\, courage and compassion that are all present within us and that can be brought more fully into our lives by singing together in this way. No prior experience is necessary. Arrive a little earlier if you like for a cup of tea and some time to connect before we begin. No need to book in advance\, but please bring a cushion of a backjack if you can. \nSundara and Leo Sofer have been leading singing events together since 2003. In recent years they have fallen in love with bhajans\, the devotional songs of India\, which are sung mostly in Sanskrit at gatherings known as kirtans.  \nSundara 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.

SUMMARY:The Man with Empty Hands
DESCRIPTION:Stories of the Journey Home presents\nStorytelling for the Spiritual Journey \nThe Man with Empty Hands features a King overwhelmed by the demands of ruling his Kingdom; a carpenter losing touch with his love for his craft; and a fisherman who rows into the centre of a lake one morning to find a huge golden fish swimming beneath his boat. \nStorytelling has the power to draw us into deep soul-enquiry\, using symbol and metaphor to allow us to dream big. This story will explore the theme of self-acceptance. \nHow much do you accept yourself?\nHave you twisted yourself out of shape to gain other people’s acceptance?\nWe all do it\, the question is how to recover those parts of ourselves that we’ve pushed into the shadows. \nThis story takes a deep dive into the theme of self-acceptance.\nThe more we accept ourselves\, the more we can open to our divine potential.\nOur true nature shines forth when we are meticulously loving and kind towards ourselves. \nFeedback from our last storytelling show for adults at The Dragon Sanctuary\nI was blown away by the story\, it was magical. I was spellbound\, and feel myself in this moment completely transformed by it. The words and music wove in so beautifully together\, the setting also really helped – I was transported somewhere else…. and it was very healing. I left feeling so inspired and uplifted. The evening reconnected me with that impulse to surrender and let spirit carry me.\nNeesa Copple \nLeo Sofer has been telling stories since 1989. Sundara plays handpan\, sansullah and tenor recorder to accompany the story. They have been setting stories to music together for over 20 years. For more information about their work\, see here. \nEvent time is two and half hours\, with an interval.
