WHAT WE ARE OFFERING 

We invite you for a fusion of women's circle and choir. Over the course of six sessions, we aim to build a warm, inclusive group, honouring our cycles as women. On our previous course, participants felt the group was safe, nourishing, fulfilling and they felt heard and seen. We will do this through weekly check-in, sharing some beautiful ancient songs, learning some different vocal techniques to help release your voice and sharing our experience.

DO I NEED GROUP EXPERIENCE OF SINGING?

If you love the sound of this group but have very little or no experience of singing in a group, this is completely OK, we aim to help you learn and feel supported by the facilitators and the group we create together, no singing experience is needed.  However, if you do have the experience, this is also the perfect opportunity for you to be free to explore harmonies and improvise within the group.

From there, each week will have a slightly different look and feel depending on the songs we are working with and the feeling within the group. We'll also weave in some deep relaxation time towards the end of each session, which could be a sound bath using crystal bowl, harp playing, a song bath etc.
