DETAILS and BOOK

Soulful Singing & Mantra 2025

Two weekend retreats at the beautiful
 Alfoxton Park ​in Somerset 

 May 2nd-5th and Aug 22nd-25th
Both bank holiday weekends
​

​Join me for one (or both!) of these 3 day singing and mantra
weekend retreats at Alfoxton Park - a new Buddhist, land-based
retreat centre, drawing inspiration from nature and the arts.


This will be my 3rd year at Alfoxton. Every retreat gets better and
better, and people keep coming back for more! We’ll sing beautiful,
uplifting, heart opening songs from around the world plus chant
devotional Buddhist mantras, all in glorious 4-part harmony.


Alfoxton is a magical place set within 52 acres of ancient woodland
with herds of red deer grazing the hillside.
 As well as uplifting
singing and mantra, the weekend
 will include meditation,
good food and good company.
 A relaxing inspiring and
rejuvenating weekend
 in all things soulful and sacred.
​


​Accommodation & Meals
Alfoxton, once the home of William Wordsworth, is
currently in process of restoration and development,
therefore, this will be a camping only retreat. Bring a

tent or live-in vehicle. Toilets, showers and a sauna are
available and delicious vegan meals will be provided.

Cost
Alfoxton House is a charity and works on the principle
of ‘dana’ or ‘gift’ economy, a principle/economy rooted
in
 generosity. Therefore, after paying a £78 deposit to
secure
 your place, the weekend will be run on a dana
basis.
 You will hear more about this when you book and
on the retreat itself. Places are 
limited so book early!

​"There is no house like the house of belonging."
~ David Whyte
​We all long for connection; to ourselves, to others, to our ideals.​ We long to belong,
​to find our place in the world, to value and give expression to our unique gifts, to
live the life we're called to live. Perhaps the one thing that holds us back the
most
 is low self-esteem or shame - a feeling of not being good enough.

Through awareness and attention, through finding the courage to experience
our vulnerability, and
by 
cultivating kindness towards ourselves, we can
loosen the
 
'not good enough' demon's grip and transform the stories
that can overwhelm our minds and lives.

​
With the sure and true footing that the breath brings, and with kindness, awareness
and wisdom,
 we can move forward with renewed well-being, inspiration, purpose
and confidence. 
We can ​find real connection, empowerment and belonging.
We can come home to ourselves.

Sessions are tailored to your specific needs

​​​​​
Hi. I’m Mahasukha.

​I offer 1:1 Embodied Voice sessions in a safe
and supportive space.
 I take an ​intuitive,
holistic and somatic (body-based) approach.

Our body is the container for our voice, and our
voice, our sound, floats on the breath out into
the world. So, in these Embodied Voice sessions,
I will guide you through simple somatic, breathing
and vocal exercises to help free up any blocked
or restricted energy, to free your voice and enable
you to express it more fully and confidently in
your unique and authentic way.

I may teach you a song or mantra or you’re
welcome to bring something that you’d like
to give voice to. I will help you improve your
posture, vocal tone, pitch, strength, power
and musicality - all which will help
develop your confidence.


"Mahasukha has a
way of teaching
that is 
so accessible,
exquisitely challenging,
profoundly illuminating,
and full of ​wisdom
and 
joy." ~ Sarah

​Beauty of Mantra




DETAILS and BOOK
Evoking the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas​​​

​In Buddhist tradition, each mantra has a different quality and energy, and is
associated with a different Buddha or Bodhisattva. A mantra is the sound
form, or symbol, of that quality eg Wisdom or Compassion. By chanting a
mantra, one is invoking, calling on the divinity and the particular quality
that the divinity embodies. In doing so, one is cultivating that quality
within oneself and raising one's own vibration and consciousness.
​​In-person lessons are held at the
beautiful Upstairs at Six studio in
Hove (near the sea!).
 
The studio is a
lovely space and it has a fantastic
acoustic - perfect for singing!

A post shared by Mahasukha (@mahasukha)

​ Mantra ~ sacred sound medicine

​Mantra is tantric. It is 
both a devotional practice
and a form
 of meditation. 
It's a portal to another
dimension.
 Mantra has the power to take you out
of your head and into your heart
 and body, to bring
peace and calm, to uplift, heal and transform
. One 
becomes
 more  concentrated, grounded, present, 

blissful and whole. One drops down the ancient 
well, down into the nourishing still depths where ​
one finds one's centre, purpose, ​faith and love, 
again and again.

Testimonials

"Mahasukha has an immense
stillness in his presence."

"Mahasukha is a kind, wise man.
With sensitivity and humour he has helped
me
 begin to accept and value who I am, 
which has given me the strength I have been
 
longing for. He tunes in on a deep energetic 
level and instinctively knows what is
 needed.
Barriers have lifted and I feel I am opening up 
to the world with a new
 kind of optimism.
I am extremely grateful. Thank you
​Mahasukha." 
~ Anne


​
​"Mahasukha helped me gain so much
insight into the difficult issues I was
dealing
  with around a life and creative
career transition. He was incredibly
supportive and
  sensitive. He gave me
the guidance I needed, backed up by
very practical suggestions.
 I have been
singing Mahasukha’s praises to my friends
who knew what I was going through.
 He
inspired my path in a profound way and
continues to do so. I feel very lucky."
​
~ Adrienne


​

"Mahasukha has many fine qualities but the
most relevant are a quite unique
 combination
of empathy and an uncanny ability to see
when I wasn't living to my
 best potential.
Being authentic and honest as he is, he can’t
help but want that
 for others. I have greatly
benefited from his clear vision. He seemed to
see the
 possibilities I missed. He always
displayed a keen interest, a certain loyalty,
always
 searching, never being satisfied with
being told things are ok. I have gained much
 
from my sessions with Mahasukha, both in
being inspired by him, and also
 receiving  his
​insights when I needed guidance." 
~ Sanghaketu


​
"Mahasukha was able to pinpoint exactly
what I needed to do next. His friendliness
and clarity really helped me objectify what
direction I needed to take. What he said
 was
down to earth and pragmatic. The main thing
I got from our session was to just
 get on and
do
it. I'm very grateful to Mahasukha for his
care and insight." 
~ Neil
"Mahasukha has an immense stillness in his presence which is a fantastic support
for me as a busy person. Mahasukha's coaching has been invaluable in helping me
stay grounded and clear in my vision for my life and work while managing my business
and my energy, both inside and out. He has a deep intuition and his judgement and
discernment in relation to what 'actually' is going on is truly a gift. I would highly
recommend him as a mentor in life and in business." ~ Karla,

​"The seer, the poet and singer,
the spiritually creative, the psychically receptive and ​sensitive,
the saint: they all know about the essentiality of form in word and
sound in the visible and the tangible.
 Through them the word becomes
mantra and the​
 sounds and signs of which it is formed become the
vehicles of mysterious forces. Through them the visible
 takes on the
nature of symbols,
 the tangible becomes the creative tool of the spirit,
and life
 becomes a deep stream, flowing from eternity to eternity."​

                 "And breathe..."
​
​               The breath will always be the
               touchstone. The mantra I say
               the most is, "keep breathing!"
               The breath is our best friend,
               always with us, always reliable,
               ever faithful. The breath grounds
               us, gets us out of our heads and
               back into our bodies and our
               present experience, bringing
               peace, calm and tranquility.
               
​                Take a deep breath right now
                and
 feel the positive effect.
"There is no house like the house of belonging."
~ David Whyte
"Mahasukha is a born mentor and incredibly gifted." ~ Shakya​

​I have been a practicing Buddhist and 'soul searcher' for over 30 years. I have been
encouraging, guiding and inspiring people through coaching and mentoring 
for many
years (see the testimonials below). As well as singing, music and mantra, my 
interests
and practices include meditation, yoga, psychology, astrology and tarot. 
I am also
Reiki I and II qualified. The Magician archetype holds a special place in my heart.
I'm based in Brighton UK and my name means ​Great Bliss.


I offer coaching​, counsel and guidance in a safe and supportive environment. I take a soulful,
intuitive approach. I will listen and help enable you to come into a deeper creative relationship
with any issues that you may be experiencing; to become more present, centred, grounded
and embodied; to have a deeper sense of yourself and your calling. We will create space
for your imagination and aspirations to be given a voice, to be seen and heard. We will
enter something of ​a sacred space to help find what is sacred to you.

We all long for connection; to ourselves, to others, to our ideals.​ We long to belong, ​to find our
place
 in the world, to value, and give expression to our unique gifts, to live the life we're called to
live.

not being good enough. Through bringing awareness and attention, through finding the courage
to

'not good enough' demon's grip, and transform the stories that can overwhelm our minds and lives.

With the sure and true footing that the breath brings, and with kindness, awareness and wisdom,
we can move forward with renewed well-being, inspiration, purpose and confidence. We can
​find real connection, empowerment and belonging. 
We can come home to ourselves.
