Participants on Singing The Unseen

A 5 day residential deep dive into the use of vocal improvisation for healing, wellness, connection, personal growth and nature connection.

Led by Briony Greenhill at Bala Brook Retreat Center, Devon.

Singing without a song tends to bring up a lot in the inner life that’s ready to heal. Healing can be described as “bringing love to the places that hurt”.

In my years improvising with The Elements quintet, we developed a lot of forms for self expression and mutual support. For hearing, supporting and helping each other in small ensemble format.

In my years of teaching, I’ve found these forms to be very powerful for supporting students with what comes up on the journey, as it has been very supportive and connective for me as a practitioner over the last 15 years.

In this autumn equinox week, we’ll connect, sing sing sing, build our container of trust, and then use these forms to go deep together.

When the weather permits we’ll take our singing outside and deepen our connection with the more-than-human world, to support our healing and growth and also to deepen a healthy vibrant respectful relationship with our non human kin. The improvised voice is a powerful way to connect and relate with nature.

This is for Journey people, Advanced Students and Alumni. This content was formerly part of Singing The Unseen.
