Sing With Confidence with Wendy Morrow
Sing with Confidence is a workshop designed to help you understand the techniques that benefit your particular voice and how to use them. When we understand how sound is made and supported we can feel more secure that the voice will produce a sound we can rely on. This in turn brings confidence and fun into performing. This will focus on the individual and our relationship to our own unique sound.
We will look at practical Musicianship for singing to help those who may struggle with Music reading and then collaborate to sing in parts to discover together what aids group performance.
Wendy Jane is a multi instrumentalist who plays harp, piano flute ,guitar and is a trained Bel Canto singer. She performs locally and is a songwriter with her band Outlandish and can also be found leading the Rising Wessex Voices Choir, a choir for those living with or caring for those with cancer.

PROCESS ACUPRESSURE 1A: Foundations with Jackie May
4 day course: Sunday 2nd June, Saturday 8th June, Sunday 9th June and Sunday 16th June 2024
This course is approved by the Federation of Holistic Therapists
Our physical bodies hold the archives of our lives. Process Acupressure (PA) is specifically designed to bring consciousness into any symptom, to facilitate awareness of the possible causes and means of releasing these. It addresses whole being health - mind, body, emotions and spirit.
Process Acupressure (PA) integrates traditional acupressure techniques with process skills (from Process Oriented Psychology), while supporting the recipient to access, and be guided by, their own inner wisdom.
This course will teach you how to work effectively with energy flow in the body including both meridians and chakras, toward greater balance.
PA can be used for self-help or given to others. It can also be combined with other therapies. For example, our work with the Great Central Channel strengthens the energetic pathway of the spine and is an excellent complement to Acupuncture, Chiropractic, CranioSacral Therapy, Massage Therapy, and more.
This course can be taken on its own and the work integrated into your practice straight away. It can also be combined with Clinical Acupressure 1 for those who want to complete the Foundation Certificate.
Venue: Hinton Martel Village Hall, near Wimborne, Dorset, BH21 7HD
Time: All days 10.00am - 5:00pm

Lift your heart with a day of singing heartfelt songs in glorious harmony with others. We will be celebrating the joy of joining our voices in community and letting our hearts sing.

The day is led by Sarah Pennington. Sarah is a highly experienced and enthusiastic voice teacher who inspires confidence and trust in her singers. She has been leading people into harmony for 20 years, and currently leads two community choirs in Devon. She is a member of the Natural Voice Network.
