S FEELING SOUND RETREATS 2018 Singing Freedom Our retreats on Corfu are vocal laboratories created for anyone wishing to free their voice and feel empowered. Expressing our emotions by singing together is a joyous and exciting inner journey in good company, a real Voice Quest to discover ourselves through our sound. An important element of our workshops is vocal harmonics, a singing technique also called overtone or diphonic singing. This singing style found in Tuva, Mongolia, creates a very high whistle-like melody above the normal voice. It is possible to learn how to use our voice to break up these harmonics into specific sound frequencies. Basic workshop and retreat themes: Overtone Singing, the use of vowels to create vocal harmonics Improvisation or how to trust what comes out naturally Toning, One Note, One World focus on one note at a time Intuitive Sound Diagnosis, better listening through harmonics Soundmassage the application of sound frequencies on the body The Voice as a Mirror, a traveling companion, a guide on the path Mantra, Kirtan, Zikhr, Trance the repetion of sacred sounds Song magic when singing comes from the heart The Healing Voice expressing our emotions Ritual movements of re-alignment and centering The Inner Shaman wounded healers sharing the same wound Free your body, Free your Voice breath, movement and relaxation The inner child and it s inner parents Enemy or Animal from jailed anger to freeing our power Personal Magnetism and natural authority Balance and Cooperation between male and female energies Being and becoming a channel of loving awareness Dearmouring transforming old defenses created by trauma Non-violent communication or how to say what you really mean When you join our seminars, we wish for you to have an experience. We can define experience as being present, without definition, expectation or judgment, with one s perceptions. Although a high ideal, the act of singing allows for a temporary silence in the mind, with as a result a natural state of meditation. Looking forward to have you with us, keep singing!
