“Lisa brings a very unique talent to my world. I have not met a more disarming teacher, one that is able to help me to introspect effortlessly in order to ground myself. She has enabled me to merge my day-to-day living with what I see now as the necessity of meditation to stay calm under the pressures of modern life. Just what the doctor ordered.”—Birju

Gayatri Mantra Group Chanting - An afternoon of Sacred Sound and Expansion
The Life Centre, 15 Edge Street, London W8 7PN | £12
6 June, 16:30 - 17:30
Join us in a powerful gathering to chant the Gayatri Mantra—one of the most revered and transformative mantras in the Vedic tradition. This sacred mantra is an invocation of divine light, calling forth wisdom, clarity, and the expansion of consciousness. It is embodied by the radiant goddess Gayatri, who symbolises the illuminating force of higher knowledge.
Together, we will chant the Gayatri Mantra 108 times. Repeating a mantra 108 times is an ancient and potent practice, amplified even more when done in a group. As our voices merge in sacred sound, we invite the mantra to awaken and expand our hearts, minds, and collective spirit.
This is a call to gather in community, to uplift one another through vibration and devotion, and to connect with the deep inner illumination that this mantra can bring. Whether you’re new to mantra chanting or have a regular practice, all are welcome.
Let us come together to invoke the light, and let it shine through us, individually and as one.
