ELEMENTAL SOUNDS
New and recent events
Witton Women Chanting group
Regular monthly chanting meetings from 10.30-11.30 a.m., usually (but not always) the second Saturday morning of the month, at Witton Gilbert Village Hall, Sacriston Lane, Witton Gilbert, Durham DH7 6TF.
No need to book in advance - pay £10 on the door.
We share chants and mantra from a variety of different cultural traditions and all women are very welcome. No musical experience is needed and no expertise in singing. There are no complicated tunes or words to learn, no 'good' or 'bad' voices, no pressure to perform. It's joyful, uplifting and heart-warming.
You may like to bring water to drink, also percussion instruments such as a frame drum, rattle or shakers to add rhythm to our chants.
There is a car park at the hall and a bus stop close by. The facilities at the hall are excellent, including a well-equipped kitchen for tea-making. There is easy access, as it is all on one level with no steps. The space is unpretentiously warm and welcoming.
Feedback from our group:
"Thank you, Paula, it is such a joy to sing with you all." - Sharon, March '24
"Energizing!." - Claire, February '24

A gong bath is a form of effortless meditation in which waves of sound wash over and through you, leaving your whole being refreshed and revitalised. (No water is involved!) The effect is deeply relaxing for most people, at the same time the experience of inner journeying can be intense and profoundly transformative.
N.B. Bring a mat to lie on and blankets/sleeping bag/duvet and pillows etc. to keep you snug and comfortable during the gong bath and please arrive in good time to be settled before the start at 3.15 p.m.
