11am Voice Healing and inherited Family Patterns: an experiential session with Jill Purce

This experiential session will explore how sound and the voice have been understood and used in different traditions as one of the most effective ways to balance and bring order into the mind and body and ultimately achieve enlightenment. Jill will show how we can empower our lives by using our voice to release a uniquely powerful energy, which can be used for physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual healing. By freeing the voice in certain ways it is possible to find physical health and emotional joy and spiritual ecstasy. We will experience the ancient magic of Mongolian overtone chanting, sacred songs, chants, sonic meditations and more. Jill will also talk about her development of sonorous family constellations, which heal the resonant field of the family. When earlier family members die or ‘leave” prematurely, trapped and painful patterns of exclusion act as magnets or attractors for later generations. Jill will talk about her work, which finds the key to unlock persistent patterns, so order is restored and the family system opened to the light of revelation and redemption, the key that sets the individual and the family and later generations free. We will have fun while learning to use, share, extend and free our voice with the international pioneer of both sound and ancestral healing.

James Blake

The GRAMMY® and Mercury Prize Award-winning UK singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer unassumingly operates as the enigmatic engine behind some of the most influential albums of the 21st century.

He produced choice cuts on Frank Ocean’s Blonde, Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. and Dave’s We’re All Alone In This Together, as well as JAY-Z’s 4:44 and Beyoncé’s Lemonade - to which he also lent his voice in both cases. While feature appearances span “Stop Trying to Be God” with Stevie Wonder and Kid Cudi on Travis Scott’s epic ASTROWORLD and “King’s Dead” with Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, and Future from the chart-dominating Black Panther: The Album. The latter not only went triple-platinum, but it also earned Blake his first GRAMMY® Award in the category of “Best Rap Performance.”

Simultaneously, James has emerged as pop’s most celebrated outlier with his dynamic solo output. He introduced a singular sound on 2011’s James Blake. Awarding the record a rare 9.0-out-of-10 score, Pitchfork crowned it one of “Top 100 Albums of the Decade So Far (2010-2014).” On its heels, the 2013 Overgrown illustrated his rare magnetic ability to align the likes of Brian Eno and RZA on the same project. It notably received the 2013 Mercury Prize and secured Blake’s “Best New Artist” nomination at the GRAMMY® Awards. After 2016’s The Colour In Anything, he reached new critical and commercial peaks with Assume Form during 2019. It bowed at #21 on the Billboard Top 200, marking his highest entry to date. Beyond clocking 300 million cumulative streams in under a year, it garnered the GRAMMY® nomination for “Best Alternative Album” and graced “Best of 2019” lists for outlets including Time Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, Stereogum, Consequence of Sound, Billboard, DJ Booth, and Esquire. Blake entertained fans through COVID-19, while live music was put on hold, treating them to Instagram live performances, new music sneak peaks and two critically acclaimed EPs, Before and Covers.

James released his fifth studio album Friends That Break Your Heart in October 2021, which received mass critical claim and was his highest charting album in the UK to date (debuting at #4 on the UK Official Albums charts).

James’ Grammy-nominated, sixth studio album, Playing Robots Into Heaven saw him return to the electronic roots of his Hessle, Hemlock and R&S records days and nod to his latest creation, the celebrated CMYK event series. In the same year, 2023, Blake collaborated with Metro Boomin for the Spider-Verse soundtrack on tracks "Hummingbird" and "Nonviolent Communication" ft. A$AP Rocky & 21 Savage.

In 2024, James embraced his independence once again, embarking on a new chapter with Vault, a direct artist-to-fan streaming platform. He marked this era with the release of his CMYK 002 – Let Her Know EP, and singles “Thrown Around” and “Like The End.” At the same time, his influence in popular music continued to rise with Bad Cameo, a collaborative studio album with Lil Yachty that highlighted his ever-evolving artistry.

Kicking off the year with a standout appearance alongside Timothée Chalamet on SNL, performing deep cuts from Bob Dylan’s catalogue, Blake is now gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated seventh studio album.

Anoushka Shankar

Boundary-pushing sitar virtuoso Anoushka Shankar blends traditional Indian classical, jazz, world and electronica into her work, producing a unique sound that transcends genres. Daughter of legendary sitar master Ravi Shankar, Anoushka‘s exposure to diverse cultures—from her upbringing in Delhi to her travel throughout the world—has placed her at the forefront as an activist, human rights ambassador, and highly sought-after musician. Over the course of a long and varied career, Anoushka has evolved into an artist able to call upon her fullest being, representing her multicultural identity and authentic, vulnerable self where every note played comes from the soul.

Salif Keita

Back in 2018, giant of African music Salif Keita announced his retirement. However now at the age of 75 the afro-pop champion dubbed ‘The Golden Voice of Africa’ is back. Having spent more than four decades at the forefront of his craft, whilst simultaneously fighting for the rights of albinos and devoting his whole life to defending the right to be different, he is a legend both musically and socially. Do not miss this rare opportunity to see one of the most adventurous, gloriously soulful singer-songwriters on the planet.

Alex Serra & Totidub

Barcelona-born Alex Serra’s astonishing music is deeply influenced by his extensive travels across Latin America and South Africa. His debut album, In the Real World reflected a four-year journey of self-discovery, blending downtempo, soul, reggae, and dub. Featuring collaborations with Yannick Meyer and producer Totidub, Alex creates a unique sound that combines Afro-Latin rhythms with electronic beats and dub effects. In 2023, Serra released his second album, Trance Life, which further explores his musical evolution. He continues to collaborate with various artists, including Li Saumet of Bomba Estéreo and Perotá Chingó, enriching his music with diverse influences. His mesmerising performances offer audiences a transformative experience that blends music, dance, and visual art. Serra's music has reached listeners worldwide, with In the Real World being played over 29 million times across 177 countries. ​

Sam Lee

The folk custodian of the native song of the British Isles, leading voice in the environmental movement, and creator of the hugely successful and popular Singing with Nightingales, Sam Lee has become, over the course of four albums, a touchstone for the idea of the chronicler and artistic spokesperson of the natural world. It is a crown he wears easily, Sam’s commitment to both the indigenous song culture of the British Isles and its nature is heartfelt and deep rooted and his latest album ‘Songdreaming’ is an album infused with a love of the natural world and a fierce commitment to fight for its preservation. The connection to the natural world is also a connection to a better way of being and a desire to recreate an eden that is ever present in his work. For Sam, these reimagined and reworked songs are more than a history, they are a living, vibrant, vital connection to our very being. Sam has a genuine close affinity with Wasing having made multiple appearances at the estate’s Medicine, Solstice & Equinox festivals.

The band are well known on the UK festival circuit but fit just as comfortably into the club scene having played throughout Europe, Australia, America and Brazil. Live, The Egg are a truly unforgettable experience. Their legendary status for six hour improvised sets at 2am precede them, earning them the well-deserved title of The Grateful Dead of rave music. ‘Think flirting with Air, a nod to George Clinton and a wink at Primal Scream’.

During this years Solstice event, we are offering you the chance to explore the ancient woodlands at Wasing and be fully immersed in the healing properties of nature.

In today’s modern times it is so easy to become disconnected from our natural world.

Modern living can easily trigger the sympathetic nervous system, and without the chance to reset we can see an increase in chronic stress disorders.

Being immersed in nature reconnects us to the rhythms of the natural world and helps foster recovery from mental fatigue.

Mindful time spent in nature has been shown to boost our immune system, improve sleep, increase energy levels, reduce stress, and improve mental wellbeing.

Based on the principles of Shinrin Yoku, also known as Forest Bathing, you will be guided through the woodlands, immersing yourself in nature, whilst engaging your senses.

These sessions will offer you the chance to slow down, be present and mindful, and to reconnect to this awe-inspiring planet.

Wasing are delighted to be offering these sessions free of charge, please book your space online as numbers are limited.

A Sacred Space for Transformation

Tattooing is an ancient ritual - a way to bring to the skin what already lives in the soul. At Tattoo Temple, we create a sacred space where this process unfolds with intention, presence, and deep connection.

Each Tattoo Ceremony is a unique journey, designed to anchor prayers, visions, and symbols into the body through a Tattoo Talisman / Skin Story. Using meditation, energy work, sound healing, and sacred plants, we open the space for tattooing to become a true act of embodiment and transformation.

Inside the Tattoo Temple, Manuela Ruas and Emily Sakhila each hold their own practice, offering individual sessions that honour the ancient art of tattooing in a spiritual and intentional way.

Manuela Ruas works with the ancestral handpoke technique, using quartz crystal to hold the needles and infuse the skin with a crystalline frequency. Her background in holistic therapies and ancestral healing arts is woven into every tattoo, creating talismans that carry deep meaning and energetic resonance.

Emily Sakhila also works with handpoke, bringing an intuitive approach to her designs. She translates energies and personal visions into symbolic tattoos that hold profound spiritual significance, guiding each person through a journey of self-expression and remembrance.
Though both tattoo separately, they come together to create the Tattoo Temple - a shared space where tattooing becomes a ceremony, a tool for transformation, and a bridge between body and spirit.

Prices range from £180 - 225 per hour. 

You can find out more via the links below and book your session directly.
