Songs from Silence Retreat

24th-28th August

Frogmill, Nr Throwleigh, Devon

“We must bear silence before we can feel in our bodies the deep joy of what the world is always already singing to us”

Led by: Mokshayogin, Sraddhadipa, Jo Spence, Joe Hill and yoga/movement with Ruth Coutinho.

Starting with the premise that vibration is the beginning of all things, this retreat will explore how we might work and play with sound, resonance, vibration and the voice as Dharma practice.

Together, we will explore how harmony singing and vocal play can support us...
