Summer Solstice -Sing with your Whole Body

Sorry FULL

Come and join us for a weekend of singing, yoga, harmonising, and stretching. Its the weekend of the Summer Solstice -June 21st-23rd AND there’s a full moon!

WHAT!
You will be led by Roxane and Jackie (Smith and Jones) and you will have an opportunity to spend some time exploring the inter-relationship of the voice and the body. We will also sing, sing and sing.

WHERE!
The campsite is in Dolanog, near Welshpool. We’ll be singing and moving in a lovely barn, or in the fields or by the river. You are welcome to camp, bring a campervan or join in with all the singing and be non-residential.

The field is set in a stunning location and the Barn will keep us dry if it rains and cool if its sunny and hot. It also has lovely acoustics.

THE CAMPSITE
The campsite has excellent facilities, kitchen, showers, loos etc and there is even a river running by the field that has an excellent dipping pool …dipping is of course ‘optional!!’ Well behaved dogs are welcome, but please contact me and or book a ticket for your dog so we don’t have too many!.

THE ITINERARY
We will arrive from 5.30 pm on Friday night and there will be a bit of singing after supper.
Saturday : there will be a dawn meditation, some yoga and then breakfast!
Singing  will start at 10.30 am and finish at 4pm and there will be plenty of tea breaks and a lunch break.

In the evening we’ll gather round a fire.

On Sunday there will be morning yoga and singing starts at 10.30 and finishes at 1.30 prompt.

All activities are optional, you are welcome to pick n mix, and spend time chilling in the lovely summer sun (we can always hope!)

ABOUT THE TEACHERS and why they think this is a fab combination.

Jackie and Rox have a shared passion for fluffy dogs, singing and hippy shenanigans in the great outdoors. They each have over 25 years experience in leading workshops and weekends in harmony singing, yoga, meditation and mindfulness based relaxation.
Whether you’re a singer who wants to find more freedom and relaxation in your voice or a mover who would love to sing harmonies with a gorgeous group of people, we will create a safe and nurturing environment for you to discover your hidden potential. You will be encouraged to start where you are. No experience in singing or yoga required.
Singing and mindful movement are naturally linked by their shared starting point….the breath.
You will discover how to :
  • Find greater body awareness and natural alignment for easeful singing
  • Learn breath and movement practices to free your diaphragm for a fuller breath and voice.
  • Create beautiful harmonies to fill your boots with happiness!
There is also the option of wild swimming, joining a sunrise solstice meditation, walking in the hills or simply falling asleep in the wildflower meadow. All activities are optional and you can join in as much or as little as you like.
Jackie Jones is an experienced yoga and meditation based retreat leader with over 30 years of study in the mind body arts. 15 years ago, after finally admitting that she was terrified to sing out loud, she embarked on a period of discovery which included a  2 year Yoga and Sound training, joining Roxanne’s choir and studying vocal improvisation and somatic movement therapy. You can find more out about her here : https://www.jackiejonesyoga.com

Roxane has been shared the joy of singing in harmony with thousands of people over the years. The songs are taught in an informal, upbeat and encouraging style. The overall effect is that we get into some lovely chords and then delicious songs that are harmonious AND funky.
