Simple melodies and words sung over and over can be extraordinarily powerful, especially when each chant emerges from and returns to deep silence. Become part of a sacred river of sound and silence, trusting the current to take you where you need to go.
Chanting, or repetitive singing, allows us to store the chant’s message in our deep memories. In addition to the chanting, there will be time for sharing what rises in us as we sing the chants.
While the full vibrational experience of chanting happens best in an in-person group setting, we’ll use pre-mixed recordings with multiple voices so that participants, with mics necessarily muted over Zoom, will hear their voice blending with a chorus of other voices. While viewing each other’s faces on the screen, we can feel united in that chorus!
This is a one of a series of monthly sessions, running from April to October 2025 (except August). Each is bookable separately. Please see [link to series page] for the other sessions.
These workshops have been jointly developed by Paulette Meier and Tony and Patsy Martin. Individual sessions will be led either by Paulette or by Tony and Patsy.
On the booking form, there is a chance for you to let us know about any accessibility or communication adjustments that will enable you to participate more fully in the course. Automated Zoom closed captions are available for all live sessions but if you feel you require more accurate closed captioning please email us directly in addition to booking.
