Saturday Evening – Sivani Mata: Music as Medicine (Kirtan & Prayersong)
Deep dive into the heart through co-created song. A conversation with that inner place in each one of us that is ever unified with everything in creation; a practice of communion with all that is. Everyone in the space adds their voice and in doing so contributes their special spice to flavour the collective soup we brew together. We can express the truth of themselves through these songs of freedom.

Sivani Mata is an artist moved by a sensory and elemental exploration of life through practice that evokes the liminal experience of trance-like states of consciousness and the centring of the awareness in heart. She believes in this process of deep inner work as a way to cultivate a harmonic relationship with the Earth. She is grateful for this journey she finds herself on and the practices that support her path. www.sivanimata.co.uk
