SIKA SOUND JOURNEY : BETWEEN THE WORLDS - THE GATHERING FIRE

Sika's back with an evening ceremonial Sound Journey held at his favourite venue in the New Forest.

An Evening of Sound Journey Magic with Sika

Between The Worlds - The Gathering Fire is an open ceremonial Sound Journey shaped by over 30 years of Sika’s sound-journeying practice. It is not a concert, nor a workshop and not an explanation.

It is an experience you don’t just listen to - you enter.

Through ancient and elemental sounds - didgeridoo, drums, native flutes, rattles, leaves, stones, shells, bones, breath and voice - Sika plays intuitively, sensing into the energy of the space and those gathered within it. Field recordings, primal rhythm, silence and live looping weave together into a living soundscape.

Some sounds may feel soothing and expansive. Others may feel haunting, raw or unfamiliar.

“This is all part of the experience,” says Sika.

“It takes courage to look deeply into our fears and feelings - but that path can be very healing.”

This is a sonic journey through inner landscapes - worlds within and places between worlds - like a soundtrack crafted for your life’s unseen story. A space where the Burley Manor Barn itself becomes a sacred listening vessel, and the people within as engaged witnesses.

The Sound Journey begins and completes with a short guided visualisation and unfolds in two journeys with an interval between, allowing time to integrate, settle, deeply breathe and return.

No prior experience is needed. Come as you are.
