Celtic Harp Music and Yoga in a Cave
Julie Darling and Corinne Docherty
Stump Cross Caverns
Yorkshire


What people said: 


An experience which I will remember for the rest of my life … Thank you so much.

Wonderful – opening of the heart…

Very warm and friendly. Loved the vibrations and chanting.

A magically powerful experience.

I have been introduced to new rituals and practice, which I know will help me in the future. Thank you!

The harp meditation and yoga chant within the heart of the cave, were magical.

There was a lovely sense of community, sitting together in the candlelit cave and the silence of the earth.

I loved the ‘oneness’ of it all – thank you to you both, for all the effort you’ve put into making this such a special experience.

This event went beyond my expectations…

Wonderful location, I felt totally lost in time. Enjoyed the chanting and feeling part of the group. The harp playing was lovely.

The sharing afterwards was a joy, too ..

This was a totally unique experience. I can't wait until the next one!

Spiritual Harp Music and Harp Essences

Picture
Performance and Workshop
Keighley Library
Sat 1st November 2014


"Julie Darling infused the local studies library in Keighley with an atmosphere of calm and contemplation with her harp music and words. Julie took us, the audience, to new worlds and new thoughts and feelings with her gentle speaking and accomplished harp playing - weaving the two together in a wondrous dance of sound. We were given the opportunity to respond in words or pictures to Julie's playing and to share what we had created. A wonderful thought provoking afternoon."

What people said:

“Thank you for creating such a wonderful safe and sacred space during our retreat, and for the love and care shown to each of us. It truly was what it said on the tin!! -  an "Iona Essence" Spiritual Harp Retreat. Please book me on next year’s!!!!”

“It was very special to make our own essence. The whole process brought another dimension and enhanced the spiritual experience. I know that the essence I made has supported me with my return to "normal life" and has prolonged / maintained the feeling of an emerging me.”

“…the retreat met and surpassed my expectations.”

“To be sat on the white sands of Iona with the aqua blue waves breaking on the shore and to meditate with the harp was a dream come true. It took me to another place, truly a spiritual experience.”

“What a joy - the company, the simplicity, the connection, the island itself, the sea, the music, the laughter..”

“An incredible journey…”

“Since I returned home, it feels like my heart is more open, but safely so. There is a peacefulness that hasn’t been there before.”

“Thank you so much for everything. A wonderful experience.”

“A powerful, transformative journey. I feel very much alive and inspired!”

Spiritual Harp Meditations - Spring Equinox
The Meditation Centre
Dent, near Sedbergh, Cumbria

"When Julie began to play her harp so beautifully and to introduce her theme for springtime, new beginnings, increasing light, both in our minds and in the lengthening days, all in celebration of the Spring Equinox, we all settled easily into this most welcome time of meditation. 

 Outside, a blackbird sang, and the sound of the gill gently wandering down its way to the river, and the warm spring sunshine filtering in through the long windows, made the session a truly remarkable and memorable experience, all so uniquely accompanied by Julie's Celtic prayers, thoughts, and gentle harp music. 

This was a  very special experience -  a delightful mixture of  harp interpretations, excerpts from Carmina Gadelica, and Julie’s own very special and unique input."  


Review by Virginia Clucas, of a Spiritual Harp Event for the Spring Equinox at The Meditation Centre, Dent.



What people say: 

"Thank you Julie, words cannot express the profound happiness I felt when opening your parcel. Am awe inspired with the love and care and beauty of your products. Feel you have sent me Iona! Heavenly."

 " I love your Viriditas CD – it is a superb idea infusing sacred place and time with the music.  I find it both soothing and inspiring."

"Thank you for the gift of your music which was very moving and memorable."

"A gorgeous box of your beautiful products arrived this morning. The mist I have tried already and it is very soft and light - a really gracious feminine essence which is delightful. The smell is lovely!"

"The care you take in packaging, presenting and the wording you use shows the beautiful intention you have for what you do. It was wonderful and I love the cards. (They really serve a double purpose as the “book” that people usually sell with their essences.) 
......and that beautiful bag, I feel like I am really working with magic now!"

" Never underestimate the power of your Harp Essences.They are some of the most powerful vibrational essences I have ever used."
