The Gāyatrī-mantraḥ Saturday 9th June 1030am – 3pm. This popular and much loved mantra honours the Sun in a feminine form, and is said to dispel the darkness of ignorance and provide clarity and strength.  Come and learn the original, Vedic version (not sung), and enjoy a beautiful meditative asana, pranayama and mudra practice that expresses the deeply healing energy of this chant. Beginners and those with experience welcome.  (Venue:  Shipham Village Hall, nr Cheddar, Somerset.  BS25 1SG) 

Sound & Silence Retreat Day – Sunday 11th August 9.30am – 4pm.  This is a much-loved and popular retreat day, that I have been offering for 10 years now.  You will be guided into stillness and silence through calming yoga, chant and meditation.

Wellbeing coaching

Life will always throw us challenges, and sometimes we can’t see the wood for the trees.  Coaching moves you from where you are…to where you want to be…and then supports you to keep on track.  I offer a safe, non-judgemental space, and put the tools into your hands for Positive Change.

More information

Feeling overwhelmed and at a crossroads, I turned to working with Sarena following a friend’s recommendation.  Knowing nothing about mantra, I didn’t know what to expect!  Very quickly I was clearer and able to make decisions that had been beyond me before.  Thank you!

I went with a friend and for a friend – not expecting to get much out of this myself.  How wrong can you be?!!  Meditation has been a huge help with my health challenges and the positive psychology tools were important through unexpected challenges.  Taught me to keep an open mind!

With a busy job and two teenagers, this is my life saver!  You’re voice is very calm and reassuring Sarena, and I always feel better after practising.  Really useful to have the different length tracks too – highly recommend this CD to everyone, beginner and experienced alike!

I’ve been on chant workshops before through my yoga training; Sarena’s have been the best I’ve ever attended.  She holds a clear, safe space, is compassionate, and we benefit from her own extensive study practice as the energy is so strong.

Sarena Mason is a pioneer of the wellbeing field with decades of experience and well developed skills.  I love the way she weaves Positive Psychology, Mindfulness and Music into her teaching and therapeutic work.

Sarena has a wealth of experience in the realms of speaking through to singing; from contemplative to the theatrical use of the voice.  She is a compassionate soul – a sheer joy to work with!

How Wonderful your new CD “Sound and Silence” is Sarena.  I could immediately feel the Heart connection and prayerfulness in the beauty and depth of the very clever blend of All YOUR voices. This is so lovely to listen to , so precise in pitch and harmony and very clear diction which is invaluable to everyone wanting to adopt and maintain a regular practice of Chanting .  Truly, I would recommend Everyone to purchase this Precious CD , it is” Up There ” with the World’s Greatest Sound Healers . Thank you so much xx

Sarena has that rare combination of authenticity, compassion and commitment in both her study and practice of cross-cultural music, sound, and voice therapies. She is an excellent coach and guide to the wide-ranging power of music, sound and chant to inspire, educate and heal. It has been my pleasure to work together.
