A nourishing evening of good food, kindred spirits and soothing sound.

You are warmly invited to join an evening of simple, meaningful togetherness at Angel Hall, Bowden House, Totnes.

From 6–7 pm, we begin by gathering and sharing time together over a delicious vegan / vegetarian meal provided for you.

There’s nothing you need to bring 🌸— just arrive, sit back, relax, and enjoy being in good company. This part of the evening is informal and unstructured, with space to
connect with friends old and new, chat, and settle into the evening.

From 7–8.30pm, the evening continues with a sound immersion using cello, voice, and shruti box. You’ll be invited to lie down or sit comfortably and listen. There will
be some gentle movement (seated or standing options available) at the beginning and end to help you arrive and leave feeling settled.

This evening is for:

✨ People who enjoy simple, genuine connection
🌙 Anyone who would like to rest and unwind through sound
🤝 Those who value community and shared experience

Just come as you are and let yourself be looked after for the evening 🌼

I received the following from Gaia House today:
Worldwide survey on meditation – Call for participants!

We warmly invite you to participate in a ground-breaking international study on meditation exploring the connections between meditators’ motivations, individual characteristics and meditation practices – and how these relationships may evolve. Meditators of any tradition and level of experience are welcome to join.

The research is conducted by a dedicated team of researchers from 10 different universities in Asia, Europe, South America and Australia (e.g. University of Melbourne, University of Oxford, Hosei University, Federal University of São Paulo). Together, they bring diverse perspectives and expertise across disciplines and contemplative traditions and are committed to documenting practices respectfully and inclusively.

Participation involves completing an online questionnaire now, and again after 6 and 12 months. You can choose between two versions of the survey:

Short version: Only takes about 10-15 min to complete!
Long version: An in-depth exploration of your meditation practice, motivation and personality, which takes about 35-45 min to complete.
The survey is available in nine languages (English, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, German, French, Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese).

If you choose to complete the long version, you will receive a personal evaluation of key personality characteristics and the chance to win one of 60 gift vouchers worth €100, which you can redeem personally or donate to your meditation community.

Take 2 minutes to register and be part of this exceptional global initiative:
