A weekend of sound exploration and rejuvenation.
We begin this sound weekend with familiar sounds to dance and sing to. Arriving Friday evening, we will connect with each other and our environment, enjoy a light supper and then listen, dance and sing to the music that we love. We will remember the times, places and faces that these tunes evoke. In a spirit of joy, allowing ourselves to flow.
It is an early start on Saturday as we gather to listen to our mothers earth song. A meditative space to experience. Followed by some light exercise and breakfast.
You are invited to participate in two wonderful workshops on Saturday:
To tune into our own sound with a voice workshop facilitated by the talented Shaz Akira.
Shaz Akira, hailing from Birmingham UK, has over 40 years of working with her voice and the music it makes. Shaz has travelled the world with her sound encouraging others to tap into its divine vibration. Working with culturally diverse artists in Jazz, Reggae, Bangra. . . She is a singer songwriter and performer. Facilitating groups to both explore and create theatre.
Harteland Rhythms will facilitate our drum workshop, where we will create sound together with the amazing Sinead Harte. Sinead is an Irish Woman with a deep love for community development. She is a mother, originally from Dublin now living in Wicklow. Her background is in Counselling, Therapeutic Group facilitation, dance and performing.
In 2005, Sínead trained with Lani O Hanlon as a Dancing the Rainbow Teacher. During 2007, she first experienced Earthsong, meeting John Bowker of Tribal Spirit Drumming and developed a deep love for Drumming and Using Ritual. She worked as a Tribal Spirit Group Facilitator in Dublin for four years.
Whilst studying Drum Ritual and Facilitation, she discovered the author and Drum Circle Developer Arthur Hull.
