LIGHT SINGING

Corfu
12-17 July
Arianna and Igor offer a wonderful singing retreat on a beautiful mediteranean green island, freeing our voices and developing the Art of Vocal Harmonics. Each meeting is an exploration of various aspects of the voice in a safe space to learn to express ourselves fully.

Lightsinging focuses on our inner light while singing. Developing higher levels of sensitivity we can see actual light inside us as we practice singing vocal harmonics. This approach, connected to our physical, emotional and mental states, is a natural extension of our human powers.

Morning and evening group sessions, with plenty of time to discover beaches, lie in a hammock or get a massage...

Vocal Techniques
The main purpose of these sunny days is to provide, in a simple and light way, the techniques that help free the voice and develop harmonics in the voice. Slowly we will focus on the bright and luminous aspects of overtone singing, such as:
  •     how to bring sunlight into the body
  •     how to bring the mental light into our consciousness
  •     how to connect to the light of divine source

We dive into  music, self healing, empowerment and soulful communication. Dutch singer-musician Igor Ezendam and his brilliant italian wife Arianna Artioli study the use of the voice as a therapeutic instrument and source of self discovery. Part of the work is about contacting and clearing our emotions to arrive at freedom of expression

THE MAIN SINGING TECHNIQUES used during the course are:
  • Vocal Harmonics
  • Improvisation
  • Toning
  • Mantra and shamanic chants of different cultures
  • Sharing circles, a conscious communication practice
  • Conscious breathing and listening

You do not need to know how to sing to join this course, just your desire to  discover yourself more fully! The course includes demonstrations of various singing techniques, both individual and group exercises, sharing moments and healthy deviations in other subjects.

Their collection of drums, string instruments and didgeridoos is part of the offered process of musical discovery during this retreat.
