Echoes Of The Ancients II - When The Light Returns

Echoes of the Ancients returns to St Andrew's Hall on Sunday 13 December, the second of two dates in this year's edition. It's a candlelit gong sound journey run by The Seed of Change Wellbeing, whose mantra is 'Wellness Within. Growth Beyond.'

The session is a ceremonial sound immersion focused on illumination, release and deep nervous system restoration. You lie down and let the vibrations of a collection of gongs move through your body, guided by meditation. Unlike the organiser's other sessions, this isn't a yoga-based experience; it's a sonic sanctuary that asks only for your presence, set in a collective field of sound, an ancient space and lunar energy. The two gatherings of the second edition each have their own theme: 'Remembering who you are' in June and 'Remember when the light returns' in December.

The venue is St Andrew's Hall, and the organiser describes it as a room that has carried centuries of prayer, music and human gathering within its ancient stone walls. The sound itself lasts about 60 minutes, with an optional 30-minute reflection window afterwards.

Arrival is from 2:30pm, with a prompt start at 3:00pm and no later finish than 4:15pm. Tickets are £30 per person, or £20 if you bring your own items.
