Ancient Sacred Sounds -
Playing In Time
Exploring the worlds of therapeutic sound and historical music
Combining the sounds of the past into the present moment. We have been using sound and music to help us reach altered states of consciousness for thousands of years. Evidence from archaeoacoustics, archaeological finds in prehistoric caves, ancient eastern texts and in later times, a host of musical manuscripts and wider historical documents can give us a tangible glimpse into the past which we can bring into the current era. We need therapeutic sound and the health benefits music can bring more than ever. Sound and music can help us reconnect with the past, and in doing so, help us reconnect with ourselves.
Rebalance yourself with sound!
I am a musician with 40 years experience, playing a wide range of historical instruments. I am also a fully qualified sound therapist covering an extensive range of local sessions in Surrey,Sussex and Hampshire. I also advocate the benefits of active listening and breathwork for mediation and wellbeing. This involves a multi-sensory approach to listening beyond the audible scope, which is a deeply therapeutic and liberating experience. I also provide sessions in meditation, gong nidra and run a local drumming circle.
My venues include Kew Gardens, Wisely Gardens further afield and I run a wide range of sound journey sessions in the local area including forest sessions, nature reserves, retreat centres and historic buildings.
As a historical musician and qualified museum professional I play a wide range of instruments including hurdy gurdies, various historical bagpipes, lutes, nyckelharpa, gittern and other instruments, giving demonstrations, workshops and lectures and have played in a wide variety of settings including open air museums, castles, museum and other historic sites.
