Santosa camp is back!
Sunday 3 – Sunday 10 June 2012
nr Shepton Mallet, Somerset
early bird price for the first 75 tickets!
Santosa (pronounced Santosha) means the happy acceptance of what is, as it is.
The experience of Santosa is at the heart of a living practice of yoga. It’s the bottom line for bringing yoga to life. With Santosa, everything in life is yoga. Without Santosa, even yoga practice isn’t really yoga! When we experience Santosa we are living yoga (read all abut it in the Yoga Sutras!).
This is a gathering for everyone who loves yoga and/or bhakti, and wants to camp and practice in a beautiful meadow overlooking Glastonbury Tor.
If your heart sings at the thought of spending a week in the beauty of nature, with the company of pure hearted loving souls who enjoy to practice yoga, chanting, meditation and bhakti yoga, then you are most welcome to join us.
We shall be working co-operatively to create an ashram experience that holds and nurtures everyone with the living spirit of karma yoga (the yoga of self-less service) and nourishes everyone by all eating delicious meals together. We have a gorgeous ashram kitchen and a super-comfy covered seating area. Our site is the beautiful healing field up high overlooking Glastonbury Tor, a couple of miles from Shepton Mallet.
Santosa is a clear pure space, alcohol and drug-free, a family-friendly home for yogis of all ages.
This is for you if you like the sound of :
- a week camping in nature with view of Glastonbury Tor
- yoga classes all day
- bhakti and kirtan at all hours
- no need to cook, just pack your plate and cutlery and we’ll eat together ashram style
- children’s workshops in arts, crafts and yoga

Healing Song of the Heart
Sound Healing day with Sudha & Tarisha
Saturday 14 April 2012
11am – 5pm
Hamilton House, Stokes Croft, Bristol
A day programme, running from 11am till 5pm, includes a meditation to relax and open the body, giving participants time to arrive in the space. Keeping the tranquil vibe, Sudha and Tarisha sing their beautiful songs and chants to bathe everyone in light and deepen the silence. We gather in a Sound Healing Circle, first opening up our voices and hearts with gentle exercises, then singing, gently allowing the vibration of sound to move around our body. We end with a song circle where we sing together letting our hearts resonate with each other. A lunch break is also included where we will have time to share food and chat.
No previous experience with singing is needed. It is simply about allowing what ever – sound or no sound – to arise from the heart and to feel the healing that it brings. Sudha and Tarisha have known each other for more than a decade and have played for meditation gatherings and festivals many times over the years. Their close friendship is reflected in their work together and always makes the atmosphere light and relaxed.
“Being in Tarisha and Sudha’s sound circle feels like a warm embrace for the soul. A boundaryless healing space where letting go is easy. The relaxation in my body and heart still resonated for a long time after the session. Both giving and receiving sound brought a very deep silence inside”. Afke, Brighton

Her music is inspired by nature, meditation, silence and the heart.She has recorded 2 CD’s of her songs and chants, All Your Faces and Carry me Home.
