This Is an opportunity to enhance our connection with nature, with each other and with the core of one’s being.
Who is it for?
This fun singing workshop is for anyone who loves to sing, even if they feel unsure about their vocal abilities. There is no need to be able to read music.
What to expect
As Nature once more adorns Herself with the flowers and greenery of the season, let us celebrate the coming of Spring with the uplifting singing of simple rounds, harmony songs and melodies for all.
Join us in a time of renewal as we relax with four days of fun singing a range of songs and chants and quieter times, too.
Interspersed among these sessions are guided meditations that complement the singing perfectly and keep us present and grounded. These will also be based around the theme of Spring and awakening.
There will be free time incorporated into the workshop which you may use to explore the beautiful grounds of The Bield, a perfect place for rest and relaxation, prayer and reflection.
