Using colour to develop your voice enhances self-confidence, selfexpression, musical sensibility and creative flow. You will experience new ways of ‘placing’ the sound in your body and explore tonal qualities and feelings that each colour evokes. Find which colours you sing the best!

Sweatlodge
The sweat lodge is an old traditional native ceremony that is still in practice amongst various North American Indian tribal nations. The practice of sweating has historically been performed amongst many cultures including in Europe but the ceremonies and ritual practices have been forgotten and disappeared with time.
The sweat lodge is similar to a sauna in that there is heat and moisture. Thats where the similarities stop and the uniqueness and the benefits of the lodge begin. An atmosphere is created which is often referred to as being in the womb of Mother Earth; it is a place of safety, giving, sharing, receiving, releasing, cleansing and healing. Done with ceremony and ritual, it becomes a place where we connect with ourselves, each other and our Earth Mother.
The Sweatlodges are held in on average once a month at Braziers, Ispden, Cambridge and also this year an additional venue at Longmans, Frensham, Surrey. The day is hosted by Mike and Tilly and costs £40. For booking information and further instructions please contact: info@windspirit.co.uk
