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...

On special occasions Suryagita has got together with other talented members of our sangha and offered song. Songs of welcome, songs of blessing, songs of appreciation, songs of celebration and songs of joy.

Come and enjoy singing this chant and other simple harmony music including African chant; raise your voices...

At one point we watched the video of Suvarnaprabha reading poetry at the 2011 convention. Towards the end, she looks up and says, “God that went really fast, didn’t it?”

The video ends with her singing a few lines from...
