For the Love of Song with Sarah Pennington
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. All singing is unaccompanied, with the songs taught by ear and no need to read music, so that we can focus on the beautiful sound we will create together.
We will sing songs that lift the soul and move the heart, including some sacred music in the broadest sense, and some with a focus on the natural world and the need to protect it.
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.
Sarah has been offering these days for Joyous Isle for over 15 years, formerly in collaboration with her beloved teaching partner, Gilo. Gilo is taking a break from teaching this year, and we hope to have him back with Sarah next year.
Venue: Witchampton Village Hall, near Wimborne, Dorset.
Time: 10.30am - 4.30pm.
Cost: £30.00 (£25 if booked and paid by 7 Oct £30 on the day)

PROCESS ACUPRESSURE 1A: Foundations with Jackie May
4 day course: Saturdays 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th November 2023
This course is approved by the Federation of Holistic Therapists
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.
Our physical bodies hold the archives of our lives. Process Acupressure 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.
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: near Wimborne, Dorset
Time: Saturdays 10.00am - 5:30pm
Cost: £420.00
New courses always being added.
