Shakti Den, 166D Cromwell road, Whitstable

Celebrate the Earth, the elements, the seasonal cycle and our connection with songs and chants that honour Mother Earth, sending healing out with our voices, reconnecting us to deeper parts of ourselves and All Our Relations.

The songs are simple, yet powerful, especially when sung as a group. No experience necessary. Suitable for beginners and those with more experience might enjoy adding harmony parts. We will also try some simple rounds. We will start with simple warmups for breath, body and voice.

We shall sing some of our familiar chants and some more autumnal ones.

Most importantly the songs are usually felt as nurturing, joyful and uplifting, together

*This session is offered as part of a 4 week block or different sound and voice sessions. £12 drop-in if there is space. Booking through Eventbrite or directly with me.

If you would like to book a block (4 consecutive sessions £40) please contact me

The Parish Hall, Fanny's Lane, Sandford, EX17 4NA

We are a fun and frolicsome community choir based in Sandford (near Crediton), meeting on Wednesday evenings. We sing songs in sweet acapella from folk to gospel, pop and world music harmonies. There are around 30 of us and we are lucky to have a strong male contingent…6 male tenors and 4 basses!  We are very sociable and go the Lamb Inn after choir, and we often sing there too! We do perform for some local charity events but above all sing just for the joy of singing. Do come and try us out – the first session is free to try!

Wednesday evenings 7.30 - 9.15pm
