Songs of One Breath is a weekly online space with Jilani Cordelia Prescott to explore the direct, joyful experience of mysticism through practice. Each Friday she shares chants, mantra, breath practices and body prayer drawn from a range of traditions, offered as grounding, comfort, and a pathway of the heart toward deeper connection and spiritual freedom. You are warmly invited to join live on Zoom (or via Facebook Live) at 2.30pm London time, and it is free. If you enjoy the class or the podcast, and would like to support Jilani’s work, donations are welcome via PayPal.
Recorded in the wake of COP26, this reflection from Songs of One Breath shares an experience of singing, praying, and bearing witness outside the official halls of power in Glasgow. Without access or authority, a gathering of strangers moved through the city with banners and songs, making visible both hope and heartbreak. This episode explores the surprising freedom, lightness, and joy that can arise through creative, prayerful presence in the face of collective failure, and the radical happiness found when we refuse silence and take to the streets together.
