Chanting sooths the soul

  When we lived in town I would go to a a chanting group that had derived from the Goddess Festival. The energy that was raised in these chanting sessions was incredible! I am constantly amazed at  the power of sound, of voices raised in harmony. Michelle ,whose house we met at,worked very hard to put all the chants into what she called a hymnal that she later sent to us. We were never able to record all of us chanting so I am going to put up some of my favorite videos that others have made.
