DETAILS :

I learned to play guitar at the age of 14. Music became my therapy, allowing me to be with and process difficult feelings and experiences as I was maturing. Music was also a great source of inspiration, acting as a catalyst and guide to my spiritual growth. It particularly resonated with deep existential feelings, as if it held the keys to some mystical truth. I still feel this today, when I listen to, teach, or play music. For me, it touches the core of what it is to be human, whilst simultaneously vibrating on a level that is truly cosmic! In this way it does one of the greatest things that we are here to do - to unite Earth and stars within our own embodiment!

In this workshop, we will look at some elements of music that have this therapeutic and transformational potential. Drawing from musical examples as well wisdom from and sound healing luminaries, we will explore this subject with plenty of experiential and interactive examples, so you can feel into it all yourself.

You don't need to have any musical experience to join this retreat. All practices will be accessible to everyone. You will have the opportunity just to listen, or to have a go, as you prefer. The day will be useful for expanding your appreciation and access to music's therapeutic potential in your daily life. It will also be useful if you are a practitioner and would like to take a deeper dive into some core elements of music and sound. 

Musical and Sonic elements we will explore:

Frequency and Pitch - Healing frequencies and Sound Coherence

Pulse and Rhythm - Moving the body and entrainment

Modes and Scales - The Voice of Soul

Harmony - Moving emotion ​
