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. \nSundara and Leo Sofer have been leading singing events together since 2003. They previously taught in Findhorn (a spiritual community in Scotland)\, with an especial focus on the songs of Taize (a Christian monastery in France) and Nickomo Clarke’s Harmonic Temple songs (based on sacred phrases from diverse spiritual traditions).  \nIn 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. They are also creating songs in English which are short and easy to learn\, and that can also be sung in a devotional spirit. \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:Singing Sanctuary
DESCRIPTION:With Leo and Sundara \nAccompanied 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. 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. \nHere’s one of the songs we often sing: Love Flows Like a River \n \nAbout these songs\nSundara and I have been leading singing events together since we met in 2003 in the Findhorn community\, an eclectic spiritual community in the north of Scotland. We started with the songs of Taize\, an ecumenical Christian monastery in France. Although Findhorn is not a Christian community\, these simple and easy-to-learn songs were very popular there because they expressed a universal spirituality that many people could relate to. \nThese songs gave us a taste for the beauty of singing together in a devotional spirit. Devotional singing isn’t a new thing\, but it’s one of the many ancient-yet-essential things that we’ve lost in the modern world. \nWe also explored gospel songs and the Harmonic Temple songs of Nickomo Clarke\, which take sacred phrases from many traditions and set them to four-part harmony. We kept learning new songs and sharing our favourites. \nInspiration from India\nAnd then a few years ago\, Sundara started singing bhajans\, the devotional songs of India. She taught herself to play the harmonium and I joined her with the guitar\, and we found that the music could support people to drop into a devotional way of singing together without feeling self-conscious. We’ve been singing those songs ever since\, and have led many “Kirtan” evenings here at The Dragon Sanctuary. \nBut a niggle started to arise. What about songs in English? How could we write songs that were equally devotional but sung in our own language? We’d experienced that with the few Taize songs that we’d sing in English (they are mostly in Latin\, and other European languages)\, and with gospel songs and some of the English-language Harmonic Temple songs too. Sometimes singing in your own language can make the experience even more powerful. \nSo Sundara wrote some songs and we’ve found a few more from other song-composers that we love\, and we now have a small set\, enough for an evening at least! \nDevotional songs in English\nThere’s a fine line to be walked with these songs. Singing in one’s own language can be potent\, but it can also be fraught. No-one likes being told what to think or feel\, and for some of us the legacy of church hymns can make us wary of this sort of singing. And some “new age” songs can be a bit “cringey” (as our teenage kids would say). \nThe songs we’ve found are (we hope) devotional without being didactic\, heart-felt without being hammy. Just like the best devotional songs\, they help you get out of your mind and into your heart. Like the bhajans\, we sing them with the harmonium and guitar. We hope you will want to join us! As stated already\, no prior experience is necessary\, and there’s no need to book in advance. \n

SUMMARY:The Mystic Rose
DESCRIPTION:Storytelling from Leo Sofer\, with music by Sundara Sofer\nThis performance charts a course through three interwoven stories\, showing the challenges of the spiritual journey\, in three different ways. \nThe first story begins with a young man\, lost in the desert\, and coming upon a rose of unparalleled beauty…. \n \nThe second story concerns a young sailor\, so skilled at her craft that she can sail to any destination\, in any conditions. \nBut then she discovers a way of travelling without a destination in mind\, and a whole new world opens up. \n \nThe third story concerns a Prince and Princess\, both besotted with the same dream of the Mystic Rose. \nThe journey they take to fulfill their dreams is the thread that ties all these three stories together. \n \nThe structure of the story-within-a-story-within-a-story has been used by storytellers for thousands of years to take listeners into a deeper and deeper space of listening and quiet inside. We use this structure to allow our audience to take a journey in themselves\, opening up to their own relationship to the object of their deepest desires.\nThe Mystic Rose is a symbol for this “most wanted” thing\, and although we might all have our own path to it\, and picture it in different ways\, it is ultimately the same for all human beings – a place of intimate rest and beloved beauty\, which is also a gift to the world. \nWe hope you will join us on a journey to the heart of the Mystic Rose!\n\n\nLeo Sofer has been telling stories for over thirty years\, Sundara plays handpan and flutes to create a magical musical soundscape for the stories. \nThis performance is aimed at an adult audience. However\, if you feel your child can sit through a 90+ minute evening performance you are welcome to bring them. The show is not especially dark or “adult” but it has been created with adults in mind. Email us if you have any questions: info@dragonsanctuary.co.uk

SUMMARY:Cancelled - Singing Sanctuary
DESCRIPTION:Now that the government has mandated mask-wearing at venues like ours\, we’ve sadly decided to cancel this event\, sorry! \nWe tried to imagine singing while wearing a face mask\, but it didn’t look like a good idea. But we’ll be resuming our singing events as soon as these restrictions have been lifted. \nUntil then\, we’re wishing you a lovely Christmas and New Year! \nLeo and Sundara \n

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. \nSundara and Leo Sofer have been leading singing events together since 2003. They previously taught in Findhorn (a spiritual community in Scotland)\, with an especial focus on the songs of Taize (a Christian monastery in France) and Nickomo Clarke’s Harmonic Temple songs (based on sacred phrases from diverse spiritual traditions).  \nIn 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. They are also creating songs in English which are short and easy to learn\, and that can also be sung in a devotional spirit. \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:Finding Your Purpose
DESCRIPTION:What are we here to do? Have we done it yet? \nThis is a story all about purpose\, but also about how maddening it can be not to find one. \nWhat are we really\, really here to do? And how do we find that? \nThis story tells of a weaver who comes upon a tree growing in the forest\, from which luminous strands of thread are hanging. \nEvery day he goes out there to find more threads hanging. They glow with a light of their own\, seemingly filled with magic. \nWhat to do? At first he keeps them hidden in a drawer\, but eventually life draws him into action. This seems bound to get him into trouble\, but turns out to get him into something even more impactful: it gets him into his purpose! \nDuration 60 minutes \n \nNote: Jellyfish is still closed to the public. This is an online event\, streamed live from Jellyfish. Click the link below to watch it online.

SUMMARY:Healing Separation
DESCRIPTION:We are all born whole – with no limitation and no lack. Babies do not separate themselves from nature like adults do. They do not perceive the “outside” world as any different from the “inside” world\, nor do they have a sense of “me”. \nBecause of this they live in the most amazing freedom. This is a freedom of BEING. They are whole and complete because there is no separation between them and the world. \nBut the separation slowly starts to creep in. Our world\, our society trains us all to differentiate not just between self and other\, but between self and nature and self and the divine. Adults living in this modern\, technological society are so very far from the freedom and wholeness of our babyhood. Cut off from others\, cut off from nature\, cut off from the divine. Isolated and alone. \nWhat can bring down the walls? What can restore our sense of interconnection with the world\, with nature and the divine? \nCome and listen to a story by Leo Sofer\, which tells of a Queen who discovers a hidden palace in the mountains where an elder Queen instructs her in the art of union – union of heart\, mind and body – a healing which restores her whole realm to goodness and vitality. \nLeo has been telling intuitive stories for almost 25 years. His storytelling unlocks the hidden parts of our psyche\, that have been lying dormant\, waiting for the right story. \nNote: Jellyfish is still closed to the public.

SUMMARY:Deep Song
DESCRIPTION:With Eliza Hope Kenyon \n\nA time to court the joystream of life with our voices\, to drop into stillness\, and to offer our prayers up. \nWe’ll begin with some gentle breathing and voice-warming practices to arrive with ourselves and with each other.

The chants\, mantras and songs we’ll journey with are simple and easy to pick up\, many shared in the call and response form. No technical ability is needed; we’ll just let our hearts sing. \nEliza is known as a Song Carrier of integrity and depth. She is committed to creating spaces that are both safe and alive\, where the power of chant can then lift our spirits and call us home to what matters.\n \nWords from someone who came to the January Deep Song ‘I was at your Deep Song event on Saturday….wow thank you so much\, deep medicine that touches my soul.’ \nTickets on the door: £12/ £10. \nIf you’d love to come and sing and are on a low or no income\, do be in touch. We don’t want money to be the reason you don’t come!

Her latest love is the Handpan\, a magical instrument that instantly transports its listeners into story land! Sundara and Leo have been playing music together since they met in 1999. \n£4 per adult or child\, £10 family ticket for up to 4 people. \nOnline booking recommended as spaces are limited.

SUMMARY:Once - movie screening followed by discussion
DESCRIPTION:Sorry this event has been cancelled due to low ticket sales. \nWe need to sell a certain number of tickets to break even\, and that was looking unlikely. \nWe hope to show other movies in Jellyfish later in the year\, perhaps something less mainstream that can’t be found in cinemas or online. Watch this space.
