Get Lost in the Sound With Bob Carr & Olga Lidia Kozłowska April 28 - May 1 2022 at Wonder Full Life Centrum ( Teplice nad Metují, CZ ) Explore The Nature of Sound for Joy & Healing Singing Slavic and Georgian traditional songs, chants from around the world, improvised circle songs... as a vehicle to deeper social connections and safety. Polyvagal theory applied to singing - for tuning the nervous system with voice, unlocking and moving through mind/body states. Mantras and the Heart Sutra as entrance to deep silence and your own infinity. The Nature of Sound, the power of each vowel and consonant and how they relate to different parts of the body. Healing vibrations… we’ll experience and practice them. COME IF YOU WANT TO……. * experience and express your life through your voice * leave behind what “should be” and explore what is authentic and fresh * trust yourself and your voice more * sing Slavic and Georgian traditional songs * feel the support and joy of singing together and solo * balance effective techniques with deeper understanding of the nature of voice * learn simple tools to work with voice that you can take home when singing we are singing presence allowing the pulse of Life available to current tone with our hearts ears skin feet lips we are bigger than we think the deeper we trust the more we are already tuned hearing every sound in the world we root into vibrant reality every song is an invitation for you to live From Olga Lidia: “It’s a really precious meeting for me! ‘What is voice?’ this question is my guide. In this exciting cooperation with Bob we will approach it from different angles, where mine is connected to traditional singing, improvisation and body psychotherapy. Practical inquiry together with precious group sharing is what I’m waiting for.” From Bob: We’ll explore the nature of sound and how it integrates body and soul…..by doing some ancient sounds and by making our own sound/music/vibration. You’ll get various perspectives and practices from Olga and me and from yourself! Using/making sound for healing/joy/creation is a universal uplifting experience, just what the world needs in this time. There will be morning, afternoon and evening sessions with plenty of time for walks, hikes, rest and relaxation. A trip to Adrspach or Teplicke Skaly (Rocks) or hiking in the nearby woods to hear the stones and trees sing… The sessions will be in English, with spontaneous translation if needed by participants. All you need is your desire to come and willingness to take one more step on the Way of the Voice. You don't have to read notes or "know how to sing". We will move, work barefoot and sometimes lay down. If you are a therapist, voice teacher, supporting other people, you will get additional knowledge and experience that can inspire you and link what you already know. As you also come for your own joy, you will have time to integrate, good conditions to share and enjoy connection with yourself, people and nature.
