COST : £240 including meals and 2 nights accommodation

VENUE : Primrose Haven, Primrose Haven, Primrose Farm, Velindre, Brecon, Powys, LD3 0ST

The weekend will integrate the healing power of nature into our healing voice work. We will work with the sounding traditions of people that lived close to nature and used sound to deepen their connection with their environment. Primrose Haven contains many beautiful gardens and natural spaces. The course will be held in the Sound Peace Chamber, the Celtic Roundhouse and in some outside spaces such as the Peace Garden, the Stone Circle with the four directions and elements, the Emissary Wheel 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.

We will share our experience of the Damanhur projects of the Music of the Plants and Orienting Trees to help raise the global network of tree consciousness.
