Guided by singer-songwriter, holistic voice coach, and sound healing practitioner, Ruhiya, this workshop is open to all, including absolute beginners. If you feel a longing to connect to your authentic voice, sing more freely and openly, develop a deeper connection and discover the power of your voice- this workshop is for you. We will begin with vocal exercises to connect the mind, body and heart, to open up the voice and allow ourselves to open up as a vessel for sound, and be used as an instrument by the divine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"354\" data-end=\"396\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"358\" data-end=\"394\"\u003eExperience the Sacred Power of Singing Devotional Chants Together\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"397\" data-end=\"655\"\u003eAs a group, we will have the special opportunity to sing in resonance with others within a supportive container of deep listening, in a special resonant space. When you sing with others you experience a great power of healing vibration where the heart slows and you attune to one another. This workshop allows that chance without needing to commit to a full choir, and with a focus on simple vocal toning and simple chants. As we will be in the beautiful St Margaret's (Magdelene) chapel, we will focus our chants on devotional chants devoted to the Divine Feminine, as we honour and attune to Her in many forms. We will chant in a number of sacred languages including Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic and Sanskrit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"397\" data-end=\"655\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"354\" data-end=\"396\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"358\" data-end=\"394\"\u003eAn Invitation To Explore the Healing Power of The Voice, Harmony And Improvisation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"397\" data-end=\"655\"\u003ePart of this workshop will be dedicated to exploring the healing power of the voice. Through open vowels, and simple prompts, we will intuitively explore the range of our voices through listening, playfulness and surrender. We will explore creatively how beautiful it feels to sing in harmony, and play with those sounds, and co-create a powerful resonance of harmonious sound in the chamber of the chapel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"354\" data-end=\"396\"\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"657\" data-end=\"690\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"661\" data-end=\"688\"\u003eWhat You’ll Experience:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"691\" data-end=\"1263\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"691\" data-end=\"781\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"693\" data-end=\"781\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"693\" data-end=\"712\"\u003eOpen Your Voice\u003c\/strong\u003e – Gently release tension and allow your authentic sound to emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"782\" data-end=\"876\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"784\" data-end=\"876\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"784\" data-end=\"810\"\u003eThe Body as Instrument\u003c\/strong\u003e – Discover how breath, posture, and resonance shape your voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"877\" data-end=\"964\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"879\" data-end=\"964\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"879\" data-end=\"907\"\u003eHealing Toning Exercises\u003c\/strong\u003e – Use sound to ground, soothe, and energise your body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1055\" data-end=\"1152\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1057\" data-end=\"1152\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1057\" data-end=\"1075\"\u003eDeep Listening\u003c\/strong\u003e – Cultivate awareness of yourself and the group through mindful listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1153\" data-end=\"1263\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1155\" data-end=\"1263\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1155\" data-end=\"1176\"\u003eChanting Together\u003c\/strong\u003e – Connect through simple, accessible chants that build harmony and shared resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1265\" data-end=\"1300\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1269\" data-end=\"1298\"\u003eWho This Workshop is For:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1301\" data-end=\"1477\"\u003eAll levels of singers from beginner singers, to advanced performers. If you feel drawn towards the mystic, sacred and healing dimensions of the voice, and would like to experience the sacred through \u003cem\u003eyour own instrument\u003c\/em\u003e and the voices of others - this workshop is for you!
