🎶 SACRED SOUND GATHERING (Golden Bay, NZ)
Echoes of the Heart | 15–17 May 2026
📍 Shambhala Retreat, Onekaka (1234 Tākaka–Collingwood Hwy)
A retreat for those who love kirtan, sacred music, and the healing power of voice... and who feel the call to explore their own expression more freely in a safe, heart-centred space.
This is not about performance.
It is about presence.
About returning to the natural voice, the listening heart, and the stillness from which true sound emerges.
We invite you into a weekend of mantra, voice toning, silence, and heart-led songs & ceremonies... where sound and stillness move together as gateways into presence, connection, and inner awareness.
Whether you are an experienced singer or someone who simply loves to chant, you are welcome exactly as you are.
-----------------------------------------------------------
✨ The Experience - Embodied Sound & Presence ✨
Over three days, we explore sound as a lived, felt experience:
• Kirtan & mantra chanting
• Guided voice exploration & toning
• Silence & deep listening practices
• Heart-led ceremony & ritual
• Spacious time for integration and rest
You’ll be supported to soften performance pressure, open your natural voice, and experience the joy of shared sound in community.
Many participants leave with:
🌿 greater confidence in their voice
🌿 deeper presence & emotional clarity
🌿 a renewed connection to mantra and sacred music
🌿 a sense of belonging in community
