RHIANNON GILL BECQUE - Hadfield, north Derbyshire, Greater Manchester or where invited - Derbyshire
Rhiannon lives in Glossop, near Manchester. Her amazing, transformational journey started with Chloe Goodchild's Naked Voice Facilitator training, and she now runs workshops, called ‘Let Your Soul Sing !' to introduce people to the transforming practices of the Naked Voice.
She then discovered the power of Sound Healing through meeting Simon Heather and trained as a practitioner and later as a college tutor. She loved delivering the sound healing training courses for 8 years in Ireland, but has returned to train back in her home ground in the N-W of England, near Glossop (13 miles from Manchester)
For 13 years she has been in on-going training with Kim Rosen, MFA, an American spiritual teacher, spoken-word artist and poet, and now facilitates workshops using poetry as medicine - ‘Speaking Poetry for the Soul'. Kim's teaching is that allowing poetry deeply into ourselves - ‘awakens, nourishes, inspires and heals, giving us the insight and sensitivity we need to live as creative individuals and as a peaceful society'.
Rhiannon is a singer, song-writer and teacher, and explores how sounding with others, vocally and with instruments, leads to spiritual connection and healing. It is a joy to her that she has discovered so much in the later part of her career, rather than teaching music to retirement age and then ---- nothing. Life is full and exiting still.
Rhiannon is also a person-centred counsellor and a Reiki master. Her life has been transformed through sound, and she loves running workshops and working with individuals, hoping that it can change their lives also.

Sacred Drumming Practitioner Training Tutors
- STEVEN ASH - Klagenfurt, Kärnten, Austria - Sussex - West
Steven moved to Wikwemikong Unceded Indian Reserve on Manitoulin Island, on the north shore of Lake Huron, when he was seven and then onto Oshwegan first nation reservations in Ontario, Canada. At eleven he became the medicine apprentice of his father Dr. A.E.M. Ash, who was the reservation doctor and the first British doctor to practice acupuncture in general practice in the UK.
After qualifying as a teacher at St. Marks & St. Johns, Steven studied acupuncture with the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and later trained in Tai Chi and Qi Kung and Cranio-Sacral Therapy. He was granted an honorary doctorate in divinity by Brockport University USA in 1977.
In 1983 Steven opened his healing clinic in Surrey, incorporating TCM, CST, herbs and essences. Music and sound healing became part of his regular healing sessions, with patients participating in composing their own healing songs, often with huge clinical success.
Steven was given his first healing drum in 1986, and quickly found that drumming acted as a doorway into seeing ever deeper into the physical, emotional and psychological state of his clients. He instigated evening healing circles to encourage his clients and their families to actively take part in the healing process.
Steven was adopted as spiritual grandson by Grandfather Wallace Black Elk and lived and worked with Ted Williams, medicine chief of the Raven tribe in Rochester, USA. His spirit name Tatanka Wanagi Wichasta - Buffalo Spirit Man - was given to him by Eagle Man Ed McGaa who honoured him in becoming a sacred pipe carrier and lodge keeper in 1994.
Steven's vision is to help others fulfil their individual life purpose and to facilitate the return of the Rainbow Tribe as predicted by Black Elk. In his work with Sacred Drumming and through his life he teaches and shares the concept of the Rainbow Medicine Circle as a basis for a healthy, flourishing family and community.
Steven offers individual and group healing sessions with the sacred drum.

- STEVEN ASH - Klagenfurt, Kärnten, Austria
Steven moved to Wikwemikong Unceded Indian Reserve on Manitoulin Island, on the north shore of Lake Huron, when he was seven and then onto Oshwegan first nation reservations in Ontario, Canada. At eleven he became the medicine apprentice of his father Dr. A.E.M. Ash, who was the reservation doctor and the first British doctor to practice acupuncture in general practice in the UK.
After qualifying as a teacher at St. Marks & St. Johns, Steven studied acupuncture with the Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and later trained in Tai Chi and Qi Kung and Cranio-Sacral Therapy. He was granted an honorary doctorate in divinity by Brockport University USA in 1977.
In 1983 Steven opened his healing clinic in Surrey, incorporating TCM, CST, herbs and essences. Music and sound healing became part of his regular healing sessions, with patients participating in composing their own healing songs, often with huge clinical success.
Steven was given his first healing drum in 1986, and quickly found that drumming acted as a doorway into seeing ever deeper into the physical, emotional and psychological state of his clients. He instigated evening healing circles to encourage his clients and their families to actively take part in the healing process.
Steven was adopted as spiritual grandson by Grandfather Wallace Black Elk and lived and worked with Ted Williams, medicine chief of the Raven tribe in Rochester, USA. His spirit name Tatanka Wanagi Wichasta - Buffalo Spirit Man - was given to him by Eagle Man Ed McGaa who honoured him in becoming a sacred pipe carrier and lodge keeper in 1994.
Steven's vision is to help others fulfil their individual life purpose and to facilitate the return of the Rainbow Tribe as predicted by Black Elk. In his work with Sacred Drumming and through his life he teaches and shares the concept of the Rainbow Medicine Circle as a basis for a healthy, flourishing family and community.

Kim's teaching is that allowing poetry deeply into ourselves - ‘awakens, nourishes, inspires and heals, giving us the insight and sensitivity we need to live as creative individuals and as a peaceful society'.
Rhiannon is a singer, song-writer and teacher, and explores how sounding with others, vocally and with instruments, leads to spiritual connection and healing. It is a joy to her that she has discovered so much in the later part of her career, rather than teaching music to retirement age and then ---- nothing. Life is full and exiting still.
