Primrose Centre contains many beautiful gardens and natural spaces. The course will be held in the Sound Peace Chamber and in some outside spaces such as the Peace Garden with its 4 element gardens and beside a mountain stream in the nearby woods. We will explore some of the deeper healing potential of nature and use sound to connect with this.
We will gain an understanding of the qualities of the elements - fire, water, earth and air - and explore our relationships to them and the way they influence our lives.
We will demonstrate the ways that sound can be used to heal ourselves and others and the healing power of sound in nature. Nature can provide a very supportive environment in which to release pain and disharmony through sound. We will work with this potential on an individual and group level.
