THE CALL

There are times when the Earth speaks more clearly.

Lammas is one of them.

Flowers have bloomed.

Fruits are ripening.

The first harvest stirs in the fields.

The land offers herself.

In places where circles, wells, cliffs, and old paths still hum with memory, we meet place as spirit – as living presence.

This journey restores a sense of belonging – grounding the nervous system, softening the mind, and reawakening trust in subtle knowing.

YOGINĪ ALCHEMY

 Yoginī Alchemy is an embodied art of perception – a feminine science of presence and subtle power.

Through movement, breath, mantra, ritual, and rest, we resonate with aligned Yoginī qualities, refining the Kalās – the aesthetic, subtle senses that feel before thought.

This work deepens clarity, intuition, and inner steadiness, allowing the yoginī’s powers to arise naturally, rather than be pursued.

Here, Tantric wisdom meets Celtic earth magic:
listening to how energy moves through body, land, and sky – weaving pathways of presence and awakening the qualities unique to each place.

THE LAND AS ALCHEMIST

Over six days, we journey through Cornwall’s living landscape:

• Cliff-top granite opening vision

• Tidal estuaries and magnetic waters

• Stone circles aligned with deep time

• Dolmens and hidden ley lines

• Moorland at Lammas peak

• Sea Caves, Ancient Springs, Stone Circles, Cliff Top Castles

Each place offers a unique transmission – clearing perception, strengthening alignment, and restoring relationship with the living Earth.

We move barefoot on sacred ground.

Sing to the elements.

Sit in gentle, heart-led plant ceremony.

The land teaches.

The body listens.

Something essential is remembered.

A rite of return.

Not ritual on the land, but ritual with it.

A remembering that brings clarity, coherence, and belonging.

Sangita

Sangita Lakhanpal is a British-born artist, music producer, and tantric yoga teacher rooted in the spiritual wisdom of her Indian heritage. Drawing from Vedic mythology, she brings ancient stories into modern life, weaving voice, myth, spirituality, and ecology.

Originally trained in human rights law, she shifted toward healing traditions, later sharing music and meditation in prisons, rehabs, and schools. A deeper calling led her to India, where she lived as a river pilgrim along the Narmada and founded a small arts school for children.

Today her life moves between Cornwall, India, and Portugal, where she has built a water temple called Kantara. Her work carries the imprint of sacred sites, mythic culture, and wild nature.
