  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Free venue parking

As the Matariki stars rise and the Winter Solstice approaches, we invite you to a deeply immersive and restorative experience at the Christchurch Sri Chinmoy Centre. This special evening combines the spirit of the Maori New Year and the return of the light with the healing power of sound, offering a unique opportunity for reflection, intention setting, and inner peace.

During this Matariki and Winter Solstice Sound Journey, you will:

  • Be welcomed with a karakia invoking peace and divine guidance.
  • Be guided through a meditation enhanced by the soothing and transformative sounds of crystal and Tibetan bowls, gongs, handpan, koshi chimes, hanging chimes, ocean drum, and rainstick.
  • Experience a carefully crafted soundscape designed to promote deep relaxation, release tension, and connect you with the themes of gratitude, renewal, and hope.
  • Reflect on uplifting passages from Sri Chinmoy’s writings, deepening your connection to inner peace.
  • Conclude with a closing meditation and prayer, carrying the peace and light of the evening forward into the new year.

This event is open to all seeking a unique and profound meditation experience. No prior meditation or sound journey experience is necessary. Simply come with an open heart and a willingness to relax and receive the healing vibrations.
