ABOUT CHANT & CHILL
Chant and Chill is a therapeutic and calming session of Sanskrit Chanting run by Gaiea and is a beautiful opportunity to get together and share the sounds of Sanskrit. The session would usually be with a group between 5 and 20 people and would create an intimate space where everyone can relax and be themselves while with others.
IN SAFE HANDS
The sound of Sanskrit can connect deeply with many people, some people may experience emotions that have long been forgotten and buried, some may cry or laugh. Gaiea always creates a safe space where everyone feels comfortable to allow whatever the sounds bring without judgement.
WHAT WOULD A SESSION LOOK LIKE?
Chant & Chills usually run for around 1 hour but this can be negotiable depending on the event. There are usually around 3 different chants that Gaiea will teach you one by one. Participants are asked to listen to the sound of their voice without judgement or ideas and to those around them, and allow themself to relax into the chant and experience the vibe created in the room. People can either sit on the floor or on chairs. They are generally asked to stay silent when coming into the session and if there is dedicated time to socialise after conversation can be saved for that point.

"just wanted to say huge thank you for all the Chant & Chill you have organised and especially yesterday's one.
I don't think I've ever heard such a beautiful harmony between male and female voices! It was a true bliss.
I also seem to have converted my friend who came along yesterday. She has never done anything like this before but fell in love with it straight away." Jana S
"The visual aspect of your performance is also important. Apart from beauty it is clear in your performance that there is Someone there. The presence, the cit, can be seen and felt. The same is true for ānanda and love. Together with your gestures, instructions, your natural being and smiles, all this adds a valuable and even indispensable dimension to the joy of the total performance."
CHANT & CHILL REVIEWS
GAIEA
You will smile yourself inside out at cheeks
flush with a conviction in the way of
things nor seen then let her aerate the hard
substance of your Friday after work with
fingers of ancient language and fairy
lights and the weigh red air of one that has
glanced death in the mirror of this life.
Gently, in the small of the back, step you
off an edge you couldn't see; lock knee'd in
faint air and quailing at the naval, smile
and frown into the up-rush of space
between you before: ground-strike. Pour and pour
and back she pours yer with a cordial
Yes, this is love, just not as you know it.
