Song circles

Let Your Light Shine through the joy of Singing!
Learn how to use your own voice for body centred and body aware vocal toning for sound healing.

Song circles offer a nurturing and supportive space to explore playful ways to connect to, (or reconnect to) your natural singing voice. And to express yourself with your voice in your own unique way.

Rather than losing ones' identity in a strict and controlled choir type of group setting, (where all singers often sing set parts), song circles encourage the natural diversity of each individuals' singing voice. Allowing a gentle and relaxed space for dissonance in the group to become harmonious as a natural process.

We also explore the potential to use your voice through sounding, sacred singing, and meditative chanting for relaxation.
