PROFOUND AND DEEP PRAYER LEARNING
Our journey into prayer is an exploration of the unceasing prayer of the heart, a continuous communion with the Divine. Through various practices, we cultivate a deep connection with ourselves and GOD.
1. Mala Chanting: Using prayer beads (mala), we engage in rhythmic chanting, allowing the repetition of sacred words to guide us into a meditative state and align our hearts with the divine Presence.
2. Unceasing Prayer: Discover the art of praying unceasingly, integrating prayer into every moment of life, fostering a profound love and devotion towards the Divine.
3. Hand-Held Guidance: Learn techniques of focusing prayer energy through hand held guidance, facilitating a direct channel of communication with the divine within.

UNIVERSAL CHANTS
We gather in the evening for transformative chanting ceremonies that deepen the spiritual connection. Each day is dedicated to a different deity, allowing participants to resonate with the divine energies they are drawn to.
1. Sufi Chanting/Zikr: Experience the mystical rhythm of Sufi chants or Zikr, a remembrance of God through rhythmic breathing and movements, fostering a deep sense of spiritual love, surrender and Presence.
2. Ram Chanting Focused on Chakras: Delve into the power of Ram chanting, directing their energy towards awakening and balancing the chakras, enhancing inner harmony and spiritual awareness.
3. Shiva Chanting with Tratak: Engage in Shiva chants while practicing Tratak, a gazing meditation focused on a candle flame. This combination deepens concentration and opens pathways to inner realms.
4. Kali and Devi Ritual: Honor the divine feminine energies with Kali and Devi rituals, invoking their transformative powers for inner purification and empowerment.
5. Jesus Prayer with Bible Reading: Engage in the Jesus Prayer, a contemplative prayer, accompanied by reflective Bible readings, deepening your connection with Christ consciousness.
6. Hare Rama Hare Krishna Chanting with Dance: Immerse yourself in the ecstatic vibrations of Hare Rama Hare Krishna chants, accompanied by devotional dance, merging body, mind, and spirit in divine celebration.
WHY SELF- ENQUIRY?
To inquire into who we are is as old as mankind and a very potent way for a deep exploration of your Self. This approach, is based on the Advaita-Vedanta traditions of self-reflection, is tailored and suitable for the times we live in.
Just imagine for a moment:
Who would you be without your name, gender, job, partner, kids, family...?
...without your beliefs, fears, likes and dislikes?
...without a story of yourself you carry around?
BENEFITS OF SELF- ENQUIRY
● Less attachment to personal stories and drama
● The various concepts of spirituality coming alive as your own living experience. Not just mental understanding.
● Recognising that God is not separate from you. He is your own Divine Presence.
● Meet Yourself.
● Not getting so involved in sensations, feelings and emotions.
● Learning to rest in your Heart without believing the many false suggestions of the mind.
