For so many queer folk grief is often experienced at a deep level from very young and continuing through a lifetime of feeling invisible, judged, shamed or rejected for who we really are.

This pain, frustration, grief and anger rarely has space to be felt or welcomed in our culture.

When we find the courage to step into the river of our deepest sorrow we find ourselves on the other side more empowered, more in love and more liberated from the shame and pain we have carried.

Everyone welcome - no compulsory expression of feelings required.

Starting with sounds that relate to the sacred centres of our body, feeling the physical vibrations of those sounds, listening and sharing sounds with others, we gently relax into a free flow of voice and harmony.

We may lay or sit, with the choice to be in contact with others physically or not.

Humming, toning and expressing ourselves vocally without words allows a unique harmony and can be a lot of fun!
