Here is more about them

✨ Rosie Carr ✨
A multidisciplinary artist, composer and gardener based in Ramsgate.

'My work focuses on sound, plants, moving image and performance. Through socially engaged and collaborative projects I research how acts of collective joy, noise, and imagination can foster practices of care, connection and resistance in troubling times.'carr

✨ Pedro Figueiredo ✨
A musician and software developer living on the southeast coast of England.

'My work stems from a love of imperfections, repetition, and stillness; on the verge of breaking but not quite. I tend to use (and listen to) warm electronic sounds, field recordings, and tape hiss.'

👉What to expect and bring
For those not familiar with sound baths, its often a deeply relaxing, meditative sound journey you experience laying down comfortably in a shared space with others.

For some people it can feel very restful & nourishing, whilst for others an unusual exploration. More than a feel good experience, these immersions are about awareness through sound. Awareness of how our bodies and minds feel, and where do they go in the process.

Please bring a mat, blanket and pillow. If you can't bring one or more of this let me know so I can arrange.

PRICE
£20 Full price
£15 Tight budget
£10 For low income

Winter is still very much here, but the birds seem to be getting louder :)

A great place to hear them is Walmer Castle, where we run a monthly session.

These sessions can sometimes be fully booked, so make sure to book ahead.

All info and booking link in BIO.

What to expect and bring
For those not familiar with sound baths, its often a deeply relaxing, meditative sound journey you experience laying down comfortably in a shared space with others.

For some people it can feel very restful & nourishing, whilst for others an unsual exploration where thoughts and body sensations take charge.

More than a feel good experience, these immersions are about awareness through sound. Awareness of how our bodies and minds feel, and where do they go in the process.

Mats provided, please bring blanket and pillow.

See you at the castle :)

Destination #3 - St Mary and All saints, Boxley

Thank you to those who venture to Boxley for an intimate, deep winter sound exploration.
Thank you to for bringing inside sounds of the land and guitar textures.

Special thank you to Robin, who led the church tour. Wonderful to have a local elder and enthusiast guiding us through the history and quirks of this place, including a brief dowsing demo. This site has likely been of spiritual significance since pre-christianity, where pagan practices worshiped the land itself.

And finally thank you to the Pilgrim's way churches for trusting us with the place...and helping carry instruments :)

Hello friends

This Place Meant, a sound pilgrimage of Kent’s heritage
Destination #3
St Mary and All Saints church - Boxley village, Maidstone

Our first collaborator of 2026 is Craig Gell.
Craig is an artist and musician drawn to sites of historic, folkloric and environmental resonance. He uses field recordings and sonifications to examine and augment a listeners experience of places.
For Boxley he will be playing recordings taken across sites in Kent, alongside live instrumentation.

Location
This beautiful church in Boxley has been a sanctuary of worship since the 12th century, adjoining the “village green” in the centre of Boxley village, with the North Downs as a backdrop. Over the centuries it functioned as a focal point for village worship, baptisms, marriages, and burials, especially as pilgrimage activity increased in the area.

Saturday 17 January
1pm-1.30pm – Arrival + optional tour (approx. 30 mins)
1.30pm-2pm – Short break; hot drinks available
2pm-3pm – Sound bath (approx. 1 hour)
If attending the sound meditation only, please arrive by 1.45pm.

We’re excited to announce
This Place Meant: an immersive sound pilgrimage of Kent's heritage

First dates this winter →
5 Dec – The Church of St Mary & St Eanswythe, Folkestone
10 Dec – Maison Dieu, Dover

Following from last year’s Church & Coast tour, which brought live soundbaths to nine historic churches along the Kent shoreline, This Place Meant continues the journey inland — expanding across North and East Kent in 2025.

The project reimagines the tradition of pilgrimage through sound, exploring themes of movement, belonging, and displacement in the landscapes that shape us.

Travelling to 11 sites in the region, we are collaborating with new artists and communities, continuing to map ideas of heritage — discovering what this place meant for those before us, and what it means today.

Funded by Arts Council England and supported by Kent Downs National Landscape, English Heritage, and the Dioceses of Canterbury and Rochester, The Hot Tin, Dover District Council & Maison Dieu.

Thanks to for bringing the project to life through design, and & for production support.
