Welcome to join us for a weekend of deep connection, community spirit and singing of devotional Heartsongs and Mantras with Byron Bay's own world traveling chant leader Kevin James. We are super excited to offer a workshop, chanting circle and a Sound Journey with Kevin & his partner Susana.
HeartSongs Chanting Circle -May 31 @ 19h00 - Mechelen
Kevin and Susana, will guide this heartfelt circle, inviting you to join in song and mantra as a way to reconnect, rediscover your essence, and return home to the heart.
Kevin James' Chanting Circles are more than just musical gatherings; they are co-creative and empowering experiences where you may find yourself singing your heart out, dancing in blissful joy, and embracing the profound silence that naturally follows.
For more than 10 years, Kevin and Susana have traveled the world with the heartfelt mission of uniting people through mantra and HeartSongs, helping us remember who we are beyond the illusions of the ego and reconnect with our shared humanity.
Blending ancient mantras with his own HeartSongs, Kevin’s music is a rich fusion of devotional chanting that transcends borders. Drawing inspiration from Indian Kirtan, Rainbow Bhajans, Celtic and Sufi chants, and Western folk traditions, his sound is a celebration of diversity and unity.
Kevin’s songs and mantras carry a deep message: they are an invitation to reconnect.
This movement honors the sacred traditions of the world, embracing their universal truths and shared Oneness. Each HeartSong is a modern hymn of devotion, imbued with intention and purpose—to quiet the thinking mind and open the doorway to the bliss of the heart.
This is not just a musical event but an opportunity for deeper connection—with yourself, with others, and with the universal language of the heart. Together, we’ll create an atmosphere of love, unity, and belonging. Let’s sing, celebrate, and remember who we truly are.
Healing Tones - workshop - May 31 @ 15h00-18h00 - Mechelen
Self harmonisation vocal workshop for inner alignment and wellness
Improve and open your voice, reconnect to your true self, clear emotional blockages and give your energy centers a cleanse and tune up with the power of sacred sounds and mantras.
This introductory workshop involves a deep dive into the healing tones within.
Kevin will share two beautiful practices that you can take home and use to enrich your life: "The active Aum meditation" harnesses the transformative power of the the sacred mantra AUM as a cleansing meditation, and what Kevin calls the "Chakra Voice Exploration", which involves toning sacred sounds as a way to tune ourselves with our intrinsic nature to find emotional harmony and stability.
You will be supported to open up to an effortless way of singing and connect to your natural voice with emotion and feeling (the essence of Bhakti). You will learn how this has a direct connection to your true authentic self and how you relate to life.
For the last part of the workshop we will put this angelic voice into practice singing mantras & heartsongs.
You will come away from this with a daily practice that you can do by yourself at home.
OPEN LEVEL
An interactive workshop for all levels, perfect for anyone interested in healing through sound.
Echoes of Calm - Sound Journey, June 1 @ 19h00-20h20 - Merlyn, Erpe-Mere
Deep Relaxation Through Sound
We will embark on a Sound Journey with the sound frequencies of the Japanese Zen flute and Crystal bowls that travel straight to the heart and work their way up to open our minds to the higher realms of existence.
This sound journey is designed to connect with the deepest part of your being. Through the ethereal vibrations of the shakuhachi and the pure harmonics of the singing crystal bowls, we invite you to a space of introspection, healing, and spiritual expansion.
This sound journey is inspired by ancient traditions and modern relaxation techniques, blending the transformative power of sound with the intention of aligning your energy. The frequencies of the instruments are designed to guide you into a deep meditative state, dissolving emotional and mental tension, and helping you reconnect with your purest essence.
Let the melodies guide you toward a state of inner peace and harmony, where every note becomes a bridge to connect with the universe and your true self.
