New Year's Day Chanting Event with Gayatri

Welcome the New Year 2026 Together

Begin the year in a clear and grounded way through Sanskrit chants, rainbow songs, shamanic chants, and voicework. This New Year’s Day gathering offers a simple and steady space to arrive, reset, and align with the energy of the year ahead.

Mantras are traditional Sanskrit sound formulas used in meditation. Their vibration helps calm the mind, regulate the nervous system, and bring the body into a state of balance. Chanting in a group strengthens this effect, creating a shared field of stability, clarity, and gentle uplift.

The Energy of 2026

2026 carries a theme of integration, rebuilding, and clearer direction. Many describe it as a year for grounding new intentions, strengthening foundations, and choosing alignment over distraction. Beginning the year with sound and intention can support focus, coherence, and inner steadiness as the year opens.

What to Expect

The venue is a short 5-minute walk from Elephant & Castle and Borough stations.

We open and close with guided meditation.

After the opening meditation, each person is invited to set an intention or dedication for the practice. These are released with a shared AUM.

Each chant is followed by a short period of silence, giving the body and mind time to absorb the sound.

We end with a closing meditation to settle the energy and anchor the tone for the year ahead.

A wonderful way to start 2026

Love Gayatri

Gayatri’s sound and voicework are amazing gifts to this universe and I’ve been lucky to experience them on number of occasions. I was completely new to chanting but her approach is very relaxed and easygoing. I grew up believing I’m terrible at singing but as Gayatri says – “It’s not singing, it’s chanting…!” so just go along with it and enjoy the experience.

"God knows from now on what chanting will bring into my life or where will take me to, but for sure what I know is that the sound of the human voice and drums is something that really uplifts and connects me with my deepest and broadest self. It's a kind of a working paradox that happens to me during chanting: I feel a kind of moving stillness, that's very realigning and unifying.

Thanks Gayatri Lindsey Jane Robertson!

Light, Love, Peace"
