Meditation is a daily practice, connecting with the universe and our life's bigger picture. We are permeated by consciousness and in that way connected to everything. At the time of the full moon, this connective energy is greatly enhanced.

Join us for a guided meditation in the atmosphere of our beautiful studio.

Join us for an enchanting Nada Yoga Concert, an evening of deeply meditative music featuring the Indian bamboo flute (Bansuri) and the Japanese Shakuhachi.

The soothing, meditative sound of the flute gently draws the mind inward, making it easier to focus and rest in stillness. As the music unfolds, feelings of peace, harmony, and contentment naturally arise from within.

We’ll close this beautiful, relaxing evening with a short mantra chanting.

This event is part of the weekend series Time for Peace, dedicated to celebrating the International Day of Peace on 21 September, with a special guest Swami Madhuram Puri.

About Swami Madhuram Puri

Swami Madhuram Puriis a sannyasi, which means he is a renounced monk in the Hindu tradition. He dedicates his life to yoga practise and teaching, and follows the philosophy by his spiritual master, Vishwaguruji Paramhans Maheshwarananda. Swami Madhuram became a significant figure in the international Yoga in Daily Life community, helping establish ashrams in the UK and later continuing his work in New Zealand, where he is now based. In 2013, he formally embraced monkhood in a traditional ceremony in India, committing his life to service and spirituality. Swami Madhuram is known for his involvement in Nada Yoga, the yoga of sound, using music and sound to aid meditation and spiritual growth.

Peace is our birthright — it is always with us. Yet, in the rush of modern life, we often lose touch with that inner stillness. This unique workshop offers simple yet profound techniques to reconnect to the peace within. You’ll learn how to navigate life’s changes while remaining anchored in your calm, unshakable centre.

Through sound, relaxation, and mindful awareness, we explore Nada Yoga, the yoga of sound, awakening harmony in both mind and heart. Nada Yoga is the science of inner transformation and unity through sound and tone.

The workshop will include:

• Musical Meditation – immerse in the vibrations of sound

• Nada Yoga (Yoga of Sound) — exploring sound as a tool for inner harmony

• Yoga Nidra – guided deep relaxation practice

• A short talk on peace and presence

• Mantra Chanting, Kirtan & Bhajan – uplifting mantras, bhajans, and the joy of shared sound

• Indian Bamboo Flute — live music to deepen meditation and presence

• Delicious Traditional Indian Vegan Chai in the break

Suitable for all levels — no previous experience needed.
