Singing River is a return to the steady hum between land and soul. You will gather with 9 other souls (plus our facilitators Liv – Voice Yoga UK and Libby – Embodied Dream Weaving) to sing what is alive for each of you. This is an invitation to come back into relationship with flow, not as something to strive for, but as a place you already belong. A river you can step into. A current you can trust. A living intelligence that knows how to carry what is ready to unfurl.
Singing River will be intimate, deep and extraordinary.
Held by the banks of the river Charente in Le Moulin de Caillier in the South of France, you will gather to listen deeply to what is moving within you. Through voice, dream, and imagination, you will follow the subtle threads of creativity back to their source, allowing the pearls of your inner world to surface and take form.
“Sometimes everything has to be inscribed across the heavens so you can read what was written inside you all along.” – David Whyte
Libby and Liv, alongside the gentle presence of the river itself, will guide a nourishing and spacious process drawing on Embodied Dream Weaving, Voice Yoga, somatics, sounding, improvisation, ritual, and time in nature. Together, these practices invite you into deeper presence, where creativity is no longer something you do, but something you are.
We will open together with a mugwort ceremony to honour the full buds of life at this time of year. We will tend to those buds as the magic of mugwort infuses your dreaming body with the aliveness of the animate, the imaginal and your innate capacity for creative flow.
Under the waxing potency of the moon, we will tend to that creative flow with somatic movement, meditation, song, silence and storytelling.
You will be immersed in the practices of Voice Yoga and Embodied Dream Weaving. This is a deeply restorative and revealing process. You will have plenty of time and space for your inner creative wisdom to stir and settle. We will also gather in group to explore what insights, emotions, and discoveries long to be gently met and integrated.
From this fertile ground, musical expression will naturally arise: through improvisation, sounding, and song. Liv will support and nurture your emerging ideas, guiding each participant to shape and birth a song: a living expression of your inner river, carried into sound.
We will close our time together with a Full Moon in Capricorn Circle, as the luminosity of the moon steps into fullness and you offer your creative spark to her brilliance. Witnessed by one another, the moon and the river, you will share what is most alive for you after a week held by the river’s rhythm.
