Learn to consciously use the voice and music as tools for personal transformation, creativity and connection to spirit. This workshop will introduce practices of humming, toning chanting, mantras and simple improvisation. Tools that can be used in creating a daily sound practice to continue after the workshop. We will explore new ways of experiencing music and how to use music and sound more effectively in daily life. In addition to sound the group makes together, Ruth will be creating live music using voice, medieval harp and flute created specifically for the group of people gathered.
