Ecstatic Voice - ​The path of the wild soul singer​

Working with the transformational energy of the cross quarters; Imbolc, Beltane, Lammas and Samhain, we will connect deeply with the cycles of nature.  Our songs and sounds will be inspired by land, by heart, by spirit and deep soul.  We will embark on a journey of joyous transformation, peeling back layers of conditioning to free our wild selves in song.

‘The voice is like a mountain with many caves. Go into all the different caves there are.’  Peter Brook

This is an experiential course exploring through voice and sound the themes of Maiden at Imbolc, Lover at Beltane, Mother at Lammas and Crone at Samhain.  There will be 4 weekends over the wheel of the year which can be taken as a whole integrated course or as stand alone weekends.  
There will be different themes each weekend but every meeting will involve exercises for the voice, group singing and chanting, sound invocations of the Deities and the Elemental spirits of the directions, ceremony and time in nature.

Imbolc: 1/2 Feb 2020

Maiden - Awakening the Wild Soul Singer 

​

Together we will sing chants and songs honouring triple Goddess Bridget in her Maiden aspect.  With her as our guide and ally, we will journey inwards to connect with our wild Maiden, opening to her soul song. 

We will begin the journey of healing our wounded child singer, reclaiming our intuitive, spontaneous voices. We will explore singing as play, singing for fun and singing ceremonially as a gateway to the other world. With sound and chant we will invoke Bridget’s transformational element of fire.

​

Beltane: 2/3 May 2020
Lover - The Ecstatic Singer

​

We will sing devotional songs and chants honouring The Goddess of Love to open the heart. With healing sound we will begin to peel back the defensive layers around the heart allowing our purity and vulnerability to be expressed in our soul songs.

We will explore communal singing as a pathway into deep connection. Playing with moving sound through the body to awaken sexual energy, we will dance and sing our way into ecstasy.

​

Lammas: 25/26 July 2020
Mother - Mother Tongues

​

With rounds, sounds, chants and part songs we will invoke the Bountiful Harvest Mother.  With shamanic singing and drumming we will connect with and honour the element of Earth.

Finding the mother within, we will connect with the womb of the Great Mother to bring through healing songs for our Inner Children.

In nature we will deepen our soul song, exploring the songs and sounds of the nature spirits, of roots and trees, the drum and the rattle.

​

Samhain: 31 Oct/1 Nov 2020
Crone - Singing through the Veils

​

Singing in ancient tongues, we will invoke the dark Mother, keeper of the mysteries of death, transformation and rebirth.  
We will work with keening, lamentation and grieving songs, singing through the veil to honour our beloved dead.  We will bring through songs of the ancestors bringing healing to our ancestral mother lines.

Working with drums and singing bowls we will open our channels to find our primal soul songs.  Songs of connection, songs of surrender, spirit singing and being sung by source.
