[Scrag Moontain Music] Sounds of Transformation Workshop

Sounds of Transformation Workshop
Sat., Oct. 28 @ 2 – 3:30 pm I The Old Meeting House Parish House 1620 Center Rd., East Montpelier

This workshop, led by Ruth Cunningham, will introduce practices of humming, toning, as well as singing chants and songs. Using the breath and voice helps to quiet the mind and open yourself for connection to spirit. All these tools can be used to create a daily sound practice to continue after the workshop. In this workshop, we will explore ways of experiencing music and how to use music and sound more effectively in daily life. In addition to sound the group makes together, Ruth will create meditative music using voice, medieval harp, and flute created specifically for the group of people gathered.

Ruth Cunningham is a sound healing practitioner and was a founding member of the group Anonymous 4. She specializes in early music performance as well as improvisational sacred music from varied spiritual traditions in both liturgical and concert settings.
