WORKSHOP DETAILS

A voice workshop with a focus on overtone singing and developing the power of the singing voice. Ravi is known for his ability to convey both the technical aspects as well as the esoteric and healing components of overtone singing. Even for those who do not think of themselves as singers, these workshops give confidence in finding your natural and powerful voice. Those of you who are already singers will find greater depths and possibilities in your voice. Finding our natural sound, breathing from the diaphragm, creating the mouth shapes for overtone singing, expanded listening and finally, hearing our own overtones clearly. We shall also sing together as a choir and explore the self healing and healing effects of harmonics 

“Breath and the sound of the voice are existential imperatives, one cannot wish them away. They connect us directly with our divine souls”

OVERTONE SINGING

Overtone sounds resonate in harmony with nature from the smallest atom to the planets and galaxies. Tuning in to these vibrations using the voice and other instruments allows a deeper contact with the psyche and spirit. As you learn to produce overtones with the voice and listen to the sounds of the gongs, Tibetan bowls and tambura, a heightened sensitivity, awareness, peacefulness, cleansing, healing and deepened meditation emerge. This workshop is for people of all abilities. It is not necessary to be able to sing. In the workshop we will make contact with our natural power sound, free the body and breath and learn to produce a variety of overtone sounds...... two tones from the same voice
