Pujas
Pujas are a form of sacred song, a tribute and celebration in honour of the mystery within life.
Done as a meditative practice, Puja ignites our intention to cultivate compassionate, peaceful ways of living and the pathways of wisdom leading to health and peace.
You can practise them in groups or individually.
