Singing Improvisation
Singing is a vital part of our natural expression. We can use our voices to connect with our feelings, enter a state of inner harmony and let go of stress. Of primary focus for us will be exploring the power of our own voice. Starting with the daily humming practice, over vocal toning meditations, interactive singing games, songs and improvising freely.
Ecstatic Breathing
Toning Meditation
Breathing itself is certainly one of the most effective ways of energizing our bodies and connecting to the power within ourselves. This is why breathing plays a major role in our daily program in different forms and various techniques. During the day we will always come back to this essential and simple truth: Atmen, atmen, atmen.
In our experience, toning is one of the most effective ways to enter the state of inner clarity. The vibrations produced by vocal toning can promote
the release emotional blockages, help process emotions, leading to a greater sense of emotional well-being and balance. Through collective breathing, intuitive singing and free vocal toning we will resonate, raise the group energy and unite within and through sound.
Sound Relaxation
Let us take you on a journey closer to your self. Dive into the sounds of singing bowls, handpans, jew's harps, gongs, harmonium, frame drums, our voices and various other instruments. Let your thoughts be carried away and feel the sounds and silence inside of you. Experience deep relaxation of body and mind.
Drum Circle
Playing drums has been part of human culture for many millennia. Ever since our ancestors started drumming, it has been used to communicate, celebrate life and experience deep connection and community spirit. Together as a group we will explore drumming and singing through interactive activities to finally get into our very own collective rhythm and resonance.
Chinese Tea Ceremony
& Tasting
Let's enjoy selected Chinese and Japanese teas, served with love. Accompanied by the uplifting effects of the tea, we will chat and chatter, share our precious thoughts and open our voices.
Cacao Ceremony
Jam Sessions
The blessing of Mama Cacao will encourage us to let go completely and raise the heart energy. Enjoying it together, the raw cacao will support us in opening up to the field of collective resonance. Alongside, we will go deeper into breathing and toning and sing our most beautiful Cacao Mantras together.
There will be a great collection of music instruments provided for us to groove together, experiment and create our own sounds. We have pianos, guitars, lots of percussion drums, handpans, harmonium, flutes, jew’s harps, and microphones of course. Feel free to also bring your own instruments!
