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.
Songs of One Breath this week is inspired by the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh and Joanna Macy
Dance the Prayers of your Body, Heart and Soul!
Simple sacred chants and movements. Beautiful Live Music. Powerful breath practices, and sharing. Ritual and ceremony. The opportunity to meet ourselves and each other, fully embodied, in the heart-space of deep meditation and devotion.
Everything clearly guided and held. All are welcome, whether you are new friends or old.
These dances could be called body prayers: simple, gentle yet powerful movements with chants drawn from many world traditions, all celebrating Unity.
Moving, chanting and breathing in rhythm together we begin to harmonise ourselves as individuals and as a group. Our bodies and hearts can realign with the rhythm of our souls. The results can be wonderful: we may experience sensations of peace and joy, heart-opening connections with others and a sense of oneness with all-that-is.
Everything is taught as we go along, so anyone can join.
If you’d like to join us for a shared meal afterwards, please bring a contribution of something delicious to share.
Time
5.00pm – 8.00pm including a shared feast (please bring a contribution of something delicious to share)

£25 (£22 if paid by 14th August)

Thy light hath illuminated the dark chambers of my mind; Thy love is rooted in the depths of my heart; Thine own eyes are the light of my soul; Thy power worketh behind my action; Thy peace alone is my life’s repose; Thy will is behind my every impulse; Thy voice is audible in the words I speak; Thine own image is my countenance. My body is but a cover over Thy soul; my life is Thy very breath, my Beloved, and my self is Thine own being.
Hazrat Inayat Khan: Ragas p.81 (The Dance of the Soul)
When we cultivate the pure vision of an enlightened mind, we realize that in truth, we are all integral parts of a magnificent Whole. Recognizing this interconnectedness, we are inspired to live and act as members of a world community, a universal family – Anandashram
