Chant, Learn, and Grow This Summer – 4 Week Vedic Chant Course with Lin Craddock

Event Description:

A Summer of Sacred Sound Awaits…
6th-27th August 2026, 18:30-19:30

Whether you’re completely new to chanting or you’ve stepped away for a while and would like to reconnect, this August Summer School is designed especially for you.

Over four relaxed and supportive sessions, you’ll learn or revisit core chants, develop confidence in chanting, and gain a solid foundation to continue your journey into the Autumn term.

As part of the course, you’ll also receive a months access to our online learning library, giving you the opportunity to practise between sessions with audio recordings and meanings and translations to strengthen your learning and support your progression.

For those wishing to continue, the next step is participation in our twice-monthly livestream chant groups, where you can continue developing as part of our growing online community.
