In the spirit of embodiment and healing the witch wound, this weekend would not be complete without voice work and ancestral song. 

So many women feel blockages around our voices: holding back our truths; not speaking from our guts and wombs; keeping our voices at an acceptable volume. Learning ancestral songs is one of the ways we can remember how it feels to fully inhabit our voice.

In this hour-long workshop Hanna Leigh, curator of 'Songs of Mother Europe' will share a taste of her own body of work around the voice and ancestral song.

Hanna has been apprenticing with folk singer Carolyn Hillyer in Devon and studying songs in a proto-Celtic mother tongue.

Finding the resonance of our natural voices within our bodies is a pleasurable thing. In this workshop you will explore and re-member this ancient, simple tool for wellbeing. We will also learn two nourishing songs to connect us with ancestral wisdom and guidance. 

This Ancestral Songs workshop is a time to find your voice, sing your heart out and remember the language of your ancestors.

My journey with my voice:

I am ever humbled and enthralled with the magic of singing. For me it is so much more than singing...for me it is a way to bring awareness to what is inside me. When I hear myself sing, I can better understand what is moving in me. It's a way to weave thought and emotion, to bring myself into present-time in my body. In my solo practice time, singing is often a tool to find my way to my heart, and to dip into the well of wisdom that resides in the center...
