About Chanting (Kirtan)
Chanting (Kirtan) is a deeply inspiring practice that opens the heart and
reveals the experience of our own true nature. It calms the mind
and helps us to release unwanted tensions allowing us to experience
the freedom within. We chant in Sanskrit, a language revealed by
sages in ancient times as the language of the heart. There is a deep
wisdom within the vibration of each chant (Kirtan) and each individual has
their own unique experience of grace through the power of chanting.
Chanting (Kirtan) replenishes the soul and unites us with one another and is
the perfect way to experience the joy of singing in a group where the
focus is on participation rather than performance. Nikki leads these
sessions with voice, harmonium and drum. You can join her in singing
a range of easy-to-learn devotional and uplifting chants or just and
bask in the sound of the chants.
Important Note
Nikki's work with sound and resonance can be powerful. Although
the effects are often therapeutic and profound, and the
space is
held and supportive, it is not
psychotherapy. Where issues arise, individuals
may choose to seek additional support.

The Wellspring of Yoga and Sound
A transformational Yoga and Chanting Weekeknd
with Anna Ashby and Nikki Slade
Come for a rejuvenating and uplifting weekend of yoga and chanting and tap into the ‘wellspring’ of yoga and sound. The weekend retreat is designed to offer space for reflection and yoga practices to recharge the body, the mind and spirit with a renewed enthusiasm. Led by Anna Ashby and Nikki Slade this weekend retreat of yoga and chanting takes place in the beautiful Florence House built in the 1920’s on the brow of Seaford Head couched in the dramatic landscape of the South Downs. With proximity to the sea and the prominent white cliffs that characterize the south coast, the beautiful interior of the house and the abundant gardens make Florence House an ideal location for a transforming yoga retreat.
