RHIANNON GILL BECQUE - online only
RHIANNON WILL NO LONGER BE TEACHING THE COURSE - only running workshops. 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 17 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.

At Primrose Haven we also run each year 2 retreats of the Magical Resonance of Celtic, Druidic and Dana Sounds. This can be an opening to begin the journey to discover our indigenous souls. There will be particular focus on working with spirals and spiral consciousness, which the Celtic and Druidic people held in great reverence. There will also be a focus on ceremony and an option to attend a sweat lodge Sunday afternoon and stay Sunday night.

LIN BRIDGEFORD - Saltdean, Brighton East Sussex - Sussex - East
Lin grew up in a musical family and has always experienced music as a connection with and food for the soul and spirit. She was born with healing abilities and at age 5 was aware of a wish, or unquestioning belief to “heal everyone and the world”, also to be a teacher.
Lin initially followed a career internationally in IT – analysis design and programming, as well as teaching dance. A motorbike accident changed her focus and direction towards healing as a career. She is passionate about empowering people to live life to their fullest potential, connecting with their light and their inner guidance.
Lin’s first encounter with Sound Healing was Tama Do with Fabien Maman in the early 1980s. She organised workshops for him in the Netherlands, where she was living, and attended an intensive workshop in France. This was the start of a deep exploration into Sound Healing that continues to this day.
Peter Goldman, Lin’s teacher in Spiritual Psychotherapy at White Lodge Centre for New Directions, where she also studied Colour Therapy, started teaching the Pythagorean method of Sound Healing using tuning forks. The method is intuitive and uses sound to diagnose which forks to use. She continued studying with Peter for decades. It was on an evening with Peter, that Lin decided to learn Gongs for a Yoga retreat, found Sheila Whittaker at the College of Sound Healing, and became a Gong Practitioner. The next step was becoming a Healing with the Voice Practitioner and a Tutor with the College of Sound Healing.
For the last 40+ years, Lin has devoted her life to studying, healing, and teaching and has 4 aspects to her Aether Bios (Breath of Life) business, CLINIC, MIND, SOUND, YOGA, all of which include teaching and teacher training:
CLINIC: Osteopathy, Kinesiology, and Functional Biochemistry. MIND: Coaching, NLP, Hypnotherapy. SOUND: Tuning forks, Gongs, Voice YOGA: Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Chair Yoga, Pranayama (breathing), Meditation
Lin has lived in 9 countries and currently lives in the beautiful seaside resort Saltdean in East Sussex, where she has a clinic with beautiful sea views and a gong/sound room for private and small group sessions. She teaches Yoga and Pranayama at the local Saltdean Lido and runs group Sound baths locally.
Lin is a tutor for the College of Sound Healing and runs Workshops in Sound Healing (Introduction to Tuning Forks, and Introduction to Gongs, Tuning Forks and the Voice) and The Voice Practitioner Diploma training in Saltdean.

She has since specialised in the use of the Gongs for Sound Therapy. Sheila has recorded three Gong CD's - ‘Transcendence', ‘Quantum Transformations', and ‘Sounds of Stillness', and written two books on the gong which have become classic reference books in this field. They are also used as textbooks for the Gong Course. Her first book "Sound Healing with Gongs - A Gong Book for Beginners" was published in December 2010 . The 2nd book : "In the Heart of the Gong Space - The Gong as a Spiritual Tool" was published in October 2012. Both are available to order from Sheila's website.
Sheila is a member of the CMA and the UK Sound Healers Association. As well as her teaching, she has a private therapy practice near Ashburton on the edge of Dartmoor, south Devon.

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.

- LIN BRIDGEFORD - Saltdean, Brighton East Sussex - Sussex - East
Lin grew up in a musical family and has always experienced music as a connection with and food for the soul and spirit. She was born with healing abilities and at age 5 was aware of a wish, or unquestioning belief to “heal everyone and the world”, also to be a teacher.
Lin initially followed a career internationally in IT – analysis design and programming, as well as teaching dance. A motorbike accident changed her focus and direction towards healing as a career. She is passionate about empowering people to live life to their fullest potential, connecting with their light and their inner guidance.
Lin’s first encounter with Sound Healing was Tama Do with Fabien Maman in the early 1980s. She organised workshops for him in the Netherlands, where she was living, and attended an intensive workshop in France. This was the start of a deep exploration into Sound Healing that continues to this day.
Peter Goldman, Lin’s teacher in Spiritual Psychotherapy at White Lodge Centre for New Directions, where she also studied Colour Therapy, started teaching the Pythagorean method of Sound Healing using tuning forks. The method is intuitive and uses sound to diagnose which forks to use. She continued studying with Peter for decades. It was on an evening with Peter, that Lin decided to learn Gongs for a Yoga retreat, found Sheila Whittaker at the College of Sound Healing, and became a Gong Practitioner. The next step was becoming a Healing with the Voice Practitioner and a Tutor with the College of Sound Healing.
For the last 40+ years, Lin has devoted her life to studying, healing, and teaching and has 4 aspects to her Aether Bios (Breath of Life) business, CLINIC, MIND, SOUND, YOGA, all of which include teaching and teacher training:

Sound therapy and meditation helped Adrienne during a difficult period in her life. Her personal experience of the healing power of sound underpins her passion as a sound therapist.

She lives on the edge of the beautiful North York Moors National Park, from where she derives much inspiration for her meditations from the surrounding moorland, forests and stunning coastline.

Alexandra: "A wonderful experience covering all the necessary tools a person needs to become a sound healing practitioner. The emphasis is on the practical side which for me was so important as to be a practitioner one needs to learn how to ‘practise’. It was a year of enlightenment!"
