Please join us in chanting 108 rounds of the ancient Sanskrit Healing Mantra “Maha Mrytiam Jaya” in the traditional Vedic style called Japa. The ceremony, or Puja, will be offered for Love, Peace and Healing for each other and Mother Earth. This powerful 4000 year old Vedic prayer is one of the most well known Mantras in the world. Focusing on the Heart Chakra while we are chanting helps to bring about desired results, and union with the Beloved.
Chanting 108 repetitions takes approximately 45 minutes. Once the Mantra has concluded there will be a short meditation and then we will carry on singing a few joyous & sacred songs/chants. Words will be provided.

Join the choir is this beautiful tradition and peaceful way to bring in the New Year as the Choir offers their sacred songs, Harmonic Overtone Singing, Tibetan Chanting, Mantras with Tibetan bells and conch shells in a lovely sacred space with wonderful Cathedral-like acoustics. Labyrinths are sacred space tools for enhancing intuition and visioning. It is quite enjoyable to just relax and be filled with the voices and find time later on to enter in. St. Paul's Labyrinth is open from 1—9pm

Please arrive at 7:30 no later than 7:45 and we will begin promptly at 8 pm. Once we have started, we will not open the doors as it is important to establish a unified field and centering of purpose.
No young children please, as all attention & focus must go to the mantra and meditation. There are around 30 chairs at the Chapel, many of you may wish to bring a cushion or mat to sit on.
