THE JOY OF SINGING AND OF LIVING
transformational singing retreat
Does your heart soar when you sing with others, the power of the group vibrations making you happy and at ease down to your very cells? Or maybe you sing in the car on the way to work where no-one can hear you, but you haven’t yet found the right group or setting in which you feel fully at ease and able to let your voice take flight.

If you want to sing and are also determined to connect more fully to who you really are, join us for this transformational singing retreat where you will learn a range of inspiring, uplifting and powerful songs and discover how singing can help you connect to your truest self: that part of you which shines with loving kindness, wisdom & compassion.
At the end of the retreat, when your whole body and soul have been fully immersed in the deep sense of unity that singing together creates, you will have a toolkit of songs to take home with you and will feel fully able to use these musical pearls of wisdom to create a positive impact in all aspects of your life, helping you stay connected to calm, joy and an awake sense of awareness of it all, no matter what the world throws at you. |

Your base for this soulful journey of discovery, song and spirit is the incredible landscape of the ancient north west highlands of Scotland, home to the oldest rocks in Europe. This sacred land, home to a powerful tradition of music and song, is here to support you as you travel this journey towards your own sacred and ancient ways of knowing – that what and who you are is already perfect. 'These ancient mountains hold the mysteries of time'

Throughout your stay there will be time for solitude so you can let the processes you are undergoing unfold, and also time for laughter at the communal garden table sharing food and stories. There will be time for quiet relaxation and exploration of the stunning area, as well as playful sharing of kitchen prep.
Just as you are free to leap into the loch at the end of the garden whenever it takes your fancy, throughout your stay your heart and soul can leap in the knowledge that whatever it felt like was missing from your life is fading away. By the time you leave, as well as having nourished connections to a whole new community of other transformational singers, you will have discovered the wonderful truth that simple songs can become ear worms of wisdom, helping you to connect to your innate true nature anytime, anywhere.
