About this Event

Candlelit Mantra Meditation and Sound Bathing for Winter Solstice


Join Pam and Marie for a magical Evening of Mantra, Meditation and an immersive Sound Journey to celebrate the return of the light.


Working with mantra helps to calm the mind and is an active form of deep meditation which focuses on the spiritual meaning behind the individual Mantra.

Working with the energy of the Mantra together in a small group creates a shared rhythm and a sense of connection, leading to a sense of peace and oneness.


Whether you choose to chant aloud, repeat the mantra silently in your mind, or listen and absorb the experience, there is no right or wrong way to take part. You’re welcome to join in whatever way feels comfortable for you.

What to Expect:


Pam will guide the group through the Mantra, introducing its words and meaning before inviting everyone to join in with its repetition 108 times, either aloud or silently in their own mind. You're also welcome to simply listen and enjoy the experience.


The number 108 has special significance both cosmically and energetically. In the Yogic tradition it states that there are 108 energy channels (nadis) that join to form the Heart Chakra and in Ayurveda there are 108 sacred pressure points (marma points) across the body.


If you have mala beads, you’re welcome to bring them along to use during the Mantra. These are traditional strings of beads often used to help keep count during meditation. We’ll also have some available to purchase in the Soul Sanctuary shop, but there’s absolutely no need to have them.


Following the mantra, we’ll rest in the vibration of the sound, allowing it to settle into the mind and the body’s energy layers before Marie begins a beautiful sound journey.

As we gather at this turning point in the year, we’ll honour the stillness of winter and the gradual return of the light, with time to rest, reflect and set intentions for the season ahead.


A candlelit evening of mantra, meditation and sound, shared in the peaceful surroundings of Soul Sanctuary Sunderland.

Using crystal and Himalayan singing bowls, gongs and other therapeutic sound instruments, Marie will create a space for deep rest and inward connection.

The layers of sound and vibration will carry you into a meditative state, offering time to let go of the busyness of everyday life and settle into the moment.


Sound Healing works on many levels... mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. The frequencies and harmonic resonance help guide the brain into deeper states of rest (Theta) and can help release energetic blockages, dissolve heavy emotions, support inner balance, and deepen your connection to your higher self.


More than a moment of relaxation, this is an invitation to journey inward through the transformative combination of mantra meditation, sound, and vibration, creating space for greater peace, clarity, balance, and renewal.
