As the trees burst aflame with colour, the quickening nights are brightened by the crispness of autumn starsong. Drawing together to sing and sound enables us to find colour and vibrancy and to release our attachment to that which would make us dull puppets of conformity. The reclamation of the deep voice within is a long process, yet each step towards connection opens up a whole new realm within, making a new world possible without. As our inner flame is kindled our outer flamboyance is liberated, opening up new realms of creative expression.
♥ October EVENTS
September has been a stirring month, with many startling surprises. For me, Equinox is a time where the subtlety of the relationship between light and dark can be perceived and many illusory divisions or preconceptions can be challenged. What excites me immensely at the moment is witnessing and experiencing the movement towards more and more group singing experiences - from the mainstream success of Popchoir to the meditative experience of kirtan, more and more people are gathering together in song. The empowerment that arises from group singing enables individuals to be strengthened and join together to transform our current matrix of reality.
It was absolutely extraordinary to Sing for Water in a choir of 800 at the Thames Festival, and to raise funds for Water Aid. Heartfelt thanks to all who donated and joined me on the day, it was so uplifting and has inspired me to create a very special World Water Day event in March 2012 - watch this space!!
Eliza Kenyon and Cornelius sang to an enraptured Garden of Roses at Inspiral and will be followed this month by the wonderful singer Kath Haling and performance poet Azrael.
I am really enjoying having bubbly, gurgly baby song time at Blissful Babybuds with mothers and babies at Living Water Satisfies - classes continue until October 20th.
I offer you an advance invitation to a Sonic Garden Party with Tim Wheater on 3rd December in Haslemere, where I'll be sharing sound as part of a wonderful array of sonic joy.
Wishing you the radiant rainbow celebration of your hearts note this October xxx
