Sacred Sound & Devotional Practice
2026-03-04 09:00 - 10:00
Sacred Sound & Devotional Practice
Online via Zoom | First Wednesday of every month 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM UK Time
These monthly sessions are a dedicated space to open your voice, connect deeply with the heart, and anchor your devotional practice in the stream of a living lineage.
While we primarily draw from the Sufi tradition and the transformative power of Zikr, we occasionally weave in sacred sounds and mantras from other wisdom traditions that resonate with our journey. In this circle, we sing from the heart, allowing the healing power of the melodies to act as medicine, reaching the places within where it is most needed. By joining in with chanting, you connect with a living current that supports your own transformation and radiates outward to the world.
The Flow of our Practice:
Sufi Zikr: Engaging with the “Remembrance” to polish the mirror of the heart.
Sacred Melodies: Traditional and contemporary chants that carry the fragrance of the Divine.
A Living Current: Connecting to a global community and a lineage of light that supports your personal transformation.
An Open Gift
These sessions are offered entirely free of charge. It is my joy to share these practices with anyone, regardless of beliefs, background, or language. Our circle is held by the spirit of generosity and the desire to make these “healing melodies” accessible to all.
How to Join:
We meet on Zoom at 9:00 AM UK time on the first Wednesday of each month.

Le Chant du Cœur : Le Soleil du Cœur
Une Alchimie du Solstice
19 – 21 Juin 2026 | La Drôme, France
Alors que le soleil atteint son zénith, je vous invite à participer à un week-end consacré à l’Alchimie du Cœur. Le cœur est le miroir de l’âme ; au cours de cette retraite, nous polirons ce miroir afin qu’il reflète parfaitement la Lumière intérieure.
Nous puiserons dans les profondeurs des traditions de sagesse du monde, en utilisant les Danses de la Paix Universelle, les chants et les prières corporelles issus d’une riche mosaïque de pratiques dévotionnelles. Ensemble, nous nous immergerons dans le courant spirituel qui coule à travers les lignées soufies et bouddhistes, ainsi que la Terre vivante, attisant les flammes de l’amour que Hazrat Inayat Khan appelait le véritable moteur de la transformation.
Au cours de notre week-end, nous explorerons :
L’Alchimie de la Lumière : Chants et mouvements pour aligner notre vibration interne avec le pic solaire de l’année.
Le Courant Vivant : Une immersion dans le « Chant du Cœur » à travers une résonance profonde, une respiration partagée et le calme précieux du moment présent.
La Liberté Spirituelle : Se connecter à l’essence de la lumière intérieure pour retourner à notre vie quotidienne en tant que canaux plus clairs pour l’Amour, l’Harmonie et la Beauté.

Détails Pratiques
Dates : Du vendredi 19 au dimanche 21 juin 2026.
Lieu : La Drôme (un cadre naturel idéal pour la célébration du Solstice).
Activités : Danses de la Paix Universelle, méditations bouddhistes, rituels de la terre et enseignements de sagesse.

15th – 23rd August 2026 | Bradford-on-Avon (Somerset/Wiltshire Border)
Join us in the wildflower meadows for Dancing Spirit, a vibrant eight-day immersion into community, creativity, and the sacred. This is a camp created for all generations—a place where children, teenagers, and adults gather to sing, dance, and grow together in a relaxed, caring atmosphere.
The Heart of the Camp
At the center of our circle are the Dances of Universal Peace. Born from the Sufi tradition, these danced prayers help us soften the boundaries between us, moving toward a lived experience of unity. From the ecstatic devotion of Zikr to the soulful harmonies of the Harmonic Temple, we find our way back to the heart through sound and movement.
A Tapestry of Wisdom & Healing
We honor spirituality in all its many-splendoured forms. Throughout the week, you can explore:
Diverse Traditions: Hindu Bhajans, Buddhist mindfulness, Aramaic prayer, Native American Earth-based spirituality, and Druidry.
Village Traditions: Every evening as the sun sets, our live band strikes up for Circle Dancing from Macedonia, Greece, Brittany, and beyond.
Inner Growth: Dedicated sessions for psychological healing and personal development, including Family Constellations, Sufi meditation, and Heart Intelligence.
Community Resilience: Exploratory discussions on building adaptive, local communities to meet the challenges of climate change.
For Families, Children & Teens
Dancing Spirit is a true family camp. We offer dedicated daily programs led by experienced teams:
Under 5s: A dedicated “tent play space” (with parent/guardian).
Children: Two main daily sessions in the Creativity Area featuring crafts, storytelling, and games.
Tweens & Teens (10–16): A separate program and tent focused on sports (like volleyball), creative workshops, and building friendship.
Life on the Land
Our camp is more than a series of workshops; it is an experiment in harmonious living. Between sessions, you can relax in our celebrated café, browse the Market Day treasures, or simply enjoy the peace of camping in circles around a shared fire.
