It is a true honour to share this journey with the gifted musician Taro (@taro.gra). His mastery of piano, violin, and bansuri will bring another layer of depth and beauty to this collective experience of sound and presence.
About Taro:
Taro / Vincent Morris is a London-based multi-instrumentalist, facilitator, and educator whose work weaves together music, contemplative practice, and immersive performance. Originally trained in classical violin and piano, his practice has evolved to explore meditative, somatic, and ceremonial spaces. His repertoire now includes the use of Tibetan bowls, gongs, flutes, voice and percussion.
Vincent draws from a diverse range of traditions to create experiences that cultivate presence, deepen awareness, and foster integration between body and mind. Through the power of sound, movement, and guided practice, he invites participants into spaces of connection, exploration, and restoration.
Recent festival appearances include Buddhafield (UK), Latitude (UK), Medicine (UK), and Boom (Portugal). Recent collaborations include projects with Aboutface and the Wampis Indigenous Community of Peru, alongside UK charities Migrant Help and Size of Wales.
What to expect?

As the gongs blend with a live guest instrument, waves of sound gently wash through the space, offering a soothing sonic massage for body and mind. Many people leave feeling deeply relaxed, refreshed, and more connected to themselves.
