Singing for Healing

Normally at S.E.N.S.E., Teme Street Tenbury Wells

Due to the Covid-19 Coronavirus outbreak
we are currently unable to meet in person

However we are continuing to sing online!

11 am to 12.00 pm Fridays

Find your voice to sing out sorrow, sing out joy

Many people are finding music, and singing in particular, of great comfort during the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic. It was therefore clear that our singing for healing group should continue, even if we can't enjoy the usual harmony singing due to the constraints of the internet. We are still meeting weekly via Zoom to share songs that lift our spirits, help us to mourn and hopefully also send out healing vibrations to the world.

Giving voice to your song

Healing ourselves, healing each other

Following a request from a local singer and a couple of successful workshops of healing songs, Kate started a new group in September 2018 to explore using our voices with a particular focus on healing. This includes sounding and chants, as well as healing songs from different cultures. We also allow time for a brief personal sharing at the beginning of each session, so that the sessions can have the intention of healing what is alive in each person on that day. So some sessions are about expressing joy, others about sharing our sadness and by doing so helping to transform it.

There is no need to read music as all songs are taught by ear, or to have a good singing voice as this group is about finding your natural voice and sharing it with others for the benefit of all. While we are singing online no-one else can hear you, so it doesn't matter what you sound like!

To join please sign up to our mailing list, indicating which group you would like to join.

Sessions normally cost £7.00 or £36 per 6 week term. However while we are unable to meet in person I feel that having the opportunity to sing for our healing is important, so I am not making any specific charge for these sessions. If your income has been affected by this situation I do not expect you to pay anything. If, however, you wish to show your appreciation and support by making a payment this will be gratefully received. Details are in the message with the Zoom link you will receive when you sign up.

Feedback from participants

“I knew I had the right notes but not necessarily in the right order! I also find that I end up listening to others. Singing for Healing has given me my own voice, to be in tune with what happens.”

“Singing for Healing has helped me be more spontaneous and develop my trust in my singing as a healing tool"

"Singing for Healing has been a revelation to me. I have been attending the group ever since it started and love it for its joyful and uplifting nature. Through it I have discovered that everyone has a voice and have found mine within it among like minded people; friends I would never have made had I not decided to drop in for that first session; people of all ages from all walks of life in whose company I feel entirely at home."

"Singing for Healing is a wonderful time of coming together. I highly recommend it. With Kate’s gentle encouraging guidance we work together to create beautiful songs. The songs are simple & easy to learn. You don’t need any special skills. There is always a warm welcome from everyone & I always leave feeling open & happy. The healing power of coming together & singing is very tangible & a real privilege."
