With the dark of Winter
Comes the invitation
To enter deep within.
Together - to gather -
Kindle our own fire
And following bare trees,
Shed
This
Skin.
Here, in tender nakedness,
Raw, real, discovering,
Finally heard, finally met -
Voices -
Rebirth us in full colour
Rising with the Spring.
This is an invitation to those who desire to be held in the warmth of a community of explorers, as we enter into the deep listening of our bodies and sound.

Each journey taken is uniquely beautiful and surpasses definitive description. Here are some possible hints as to the nature of this work :
listening.
Finding our somatic centre. The place from which all sensation arises. The witness within.
–
body.
Allowing our natural breath. Movement practices that draw us into presence. We notice the places of tension, resistance. We come into connection with what wants to express.
We reconnect to our natural sensitivity and sensation.
–
voice.
We are guided into the sounding practice, experiencing each sound in the body and the themes that emerge from there.
Discover how sending vibration to different parts of the body unlocks and clears patterns in your life.
–
release.
Stored emotions, limiting beliefs, stagnation and tensions are released through the expression of your voice.
You reclaim your authentic expression.
–
integrate.
Breath, silence, space. We allow the body to re-organise itself into its natural state.
Observe how the sound clearing affects your daily life, experiences, intimate relationships and your expression in the world around you.

‘I wasn’t expecting that the online container could amplify the power of the experience. You can disappear into your sound because you are with your own energy, but still feel held by the group’
