Ceremony

DATE: Friday 26th September 2025 - 6.50pm to 9pm

LOCATION: The Avalon Community Centre, King Street, Glastonbury, Somerset, BA6 9JY

PRICE: £35 - £25 - £15

7pm - 9.30 pm, Friday September 26th @ The Avalon Community Centre

In celebration Navarātri – the sacred nine nights of the Goddess – we invite you to a ceremonial gathering held on Friday, the day sacred to Kamalā, the Tantric Lotus Goddess of abundance, inner radiance, and the dream of divine beauty.

This is a visionary sound ceremony – a remembering of ancient ways – where plant medicine, mantra, and harmonic voice become pathways into the dreaming heart of the Earth.

Enter a devotional space where you are invited to sip gently from the forgotten well of Soma – the Vedic elixir of ecstasy and inner illumination – reimagined here through the sacred Blue Lotus, infused with the living waters of Avalon.

Once offered in the temples of both Egypt and India, the Blue Lotus is a subtle, heart-opening flower known for its dreamlike, visionary qualities. It awakens states of trance, luminous rest, and inward devotion.

In this sacred circle, we offer the Blue Lotus with reverence to Kamalā, the shimmering goddess of spiritual and material abundance, sovereignty, and sacred sensuality – a radiant facet of the Divine Feminine in the Tantric tradition.

A Ceremony Rooted in Ancestral Wisdom

Guided by Sangita Lakhanpal, with support from Adam Colwill, a singing yoginī of Indian heritage, this ceremony honours the original Vedic arts of sound and consciousness, where mantra, voice, and plant allies were once woven together to open altered states and dream with the Earth.

In the ancient Vedas, Soma was more than a plant – it was a god, a sacrament, a portal. It bridged the worlds of the seen and unseen, invoked by rishis through sound and chant to access inner realms of vision and wisdom.

In this spirit, we offer the Blue Lotus not as escape, but as remembrance – a return to the medicine of voice, vibration, and collective dreaming.

The Ceremony Includes:

  • Blue Lotus infusion prepared with the sacred waters of Avalon
  • Sanskrit mantra chanting to Kamalā, with mytho-poetic translation and meaning
  • A co-created sound bath with voice, shruti, solfeggio drones, crystal bowls and gongs
  • Guided meditative journeying into visionary and dream-like states
  • collective dream-seeding ritual to honour the Earth and reawaken sacred imagination
