Sika Sound Journey – Takaka, Golden Bay
September 17, 2020 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
$20 – $25
Join Sika for a beautiful evening of inner enquiry using sound
New Moon… three days before Spring Equinox.
Sit or lie down in a purpose-built Octagonal space with amazing acoustics. Sika will play intuitively from his beloved collection of instruments, including several didgeridoos, drums, native flutes, rattles… foraged objects such as leaves, stones, bones and shells… and nature recordings from the Australian and New Zealand bush. The haunting ‘voices’ of unfamiliar instruments such as Aztec whistles and Māori Taonga pūoro add to the sense of mystery and help us enter meditative, wordless states.
Sika holds a safe space for us to drop into relaxation. Many people find the experience not only relaxing but deeply meaningful. Sika has been offering Sound Journeys for over 25 years and has the blessing of many Maori, Native American and Aboriginal elders, including the Yuin tribe of South Australia. He’s deeply humbled to share their instruments with people around the world.
What to bring?
Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, pillow or anything else you need to lie down comfortably. We also recommend a water bottle and a journal.

Doors open 7.15pm. Please arrive ready to start at 7.30pm.
