In a fast paced or full life, it can sometimes feel like there simply isn't time or space to digest what we are each carrying at any given moment. The Honouring Circle is a space for you to bring whatever you want to honour or whatever is alive for you each month, have it really heard by the circle and feel it all being held through singing and togetherness.
For each of these uniquely curated therapeutic singing experiences, I create a space of holding and ritual to support what is brought by you each month. More often than not, you will have something to take home with you in which to root the work and the songs held in our time together. While this isn't a therapy group, as a psychotherapist I hold all my circles in a way that is informed by my training, knowledge and many years of experience and there is always a therapeutic element that you can lean into should you wish.
An opportunity to share what you are walking with and wish to be witnessed through song and harmony, we come together to sing gentle songs and create a holding space for what we are each bringing. As always will have time to check in with ourselves, our voices and each other. This is a space where you are welcome to arrive as you are, connect in with yourself and then check in to the circle with a few words, if you feel like it. Each circle will be a bit different, but will always involve a gentle check in, lots of singing and some time in ritual or silent presence with what we are honouring each month.
Numbers for my circles are kept small to allow for a fully immersive, connected, nurturing and therapeutic experience.
The songs we sing will be a cappella heart songs sung in 2,3 or 4 part harmony. I will teach everything by ear - all abilities are welcome. This is a mixed circle, open to all adults.
With lovely sofas and armchairs, The Nest is the perfect setting for our gentle, tender Honouring Circle. Please be aware that the room is up a steep flight of stairs which may not be suitable for those with mobility issues. We may also spend time outside in the woods - if this causes concerns around accessibility or any questions at all, please get in touch and I will try my best to answer them.
When you book your ticket, more information will be sent out via email so please keep an eye out for it.
