Sacred Earth are Australia’s internationally acclaimed mantra artists, Penny and Jethro Williams. For over two decades, Jethro and Penny have been refining their unique contemporary expression of the ancient practice of chanting mantra and sharing songs of the heart.
Their sound is at once ancient and immediate — a meeting point between devotional tradition and deeply human feeling.
The Music
Penny brings soaring vocals and ethereal keyboard melodies, paired with Jethro’s harmonies and captivating instrumentalperformances, including the shakuhachi (Japanese flute), Indian Bansuri, Irish tin and low whistles, and acoustic guitar.
Sacred Earth weaves ancient mantras with melodious flutes and soothing harmonies, inviting listeners to reconnect with their core purpose on this beautiful Earth. The result is music that carries the listener inward — not through complexity, but through simplicity and sincerity.
Their music is used extensively throughout the world in massage, yoga, meditation, healing, spa and film settings to evoke a feeling of wellbeing, peace, and ambience.
Live Experience
Those who have attended a Sacred Earth live performance know it is a uniquely special experience. It transcends the ordinary music concert — a profoundly moving event that evokes tears, ignites smiles, and envelops participants in a deep sense of tranquility.
In the midst of today’s chaotic world, such experiences are increasingly rare. This is why Sacred Earth’s concerts consistently sell out, drawing people back time and again to reclaim that serene state of mind and to deepen their connection with the essence of life through their expansive sound.
In their own words: “When we gather in the spirit of peace and share our hearts through sacred music, all distractions fade away; only silence remains. In this sacred silence, we can hear our hearts singing in harmony with all of creation.”

A Global Mission
Jethro and Penny blend their experiences of yoga, meditation, natural healing, voice, love of Earth and instruments from around the world into the music they call Sacred Earth. They travel the world with the intent to connect people to their own inner peace through their music, seeking to empower the listener by providing a sacred space in which they can deeply connect to their own heart and cultivate a deeper respect for themselves and Mother Earth.
Sacred Earth began touring Australia-wide in 2004, offering sacred music concerts, and have since been embraced by communities around the country, regularly playing to sold-out audiences.
