SUPPORTING GABRIELLE

What a dream to be back on stage again. And to be on a stage in front of a live audience. And with a backdrop of the sea. And to be performing a set in support of Gabrielle.  Blessings were showered on me in receiving this opportunity. What better way to return to the stage after a hiatus of 18 months. Wonderful.

Stronger on Sundays – Sunday 11 July, 1800-2000 BST

Stronger on Sundays returns with music held right at its centre.  S.O.S offers an online space in which music is used to build community around social issues. Musicians and artists offer their expressions through live performance. Together guests share their thoughts on matters ranging from injustice and equity to our shared human experiences and connections to each other. Together, we can listen. We can learn.  We can reflect.   What started as a bit of a whimsical idea has turned into a daily song performance every weekday for the last thirteen weeks.  I never quite "got" why I would do this initially.  I knew it felt right to do it - and I always follow my heart and gut.  But initially, I couldn't quite see the benefit.

Mind, Body & Song – monthly

Last Saturday's Mind, Body & Song session was all I intended it to be, and much more.  A beautiful ceremony of song, it was.

Last Saturday’s Mind, Body & Song session was all I intended it to be, and much more.  A beautiful ceremony of song, it was.  Intuitive, Annie Chen offered her gifts in breathwork and guided meditation.  Following this, I led a musical ceremony of sound using my voice and song.  It transpired to be a warm and deeply nourishing space, so I am planning another.

The next session is to be held on Saturday 20 March, 2021 from 1900 to 2100 GMT.  Lorna McLean is a Meditator, Reiki Teacher and Holistic Therapist and I am pleased to say Lorna will join this session, bringing her healing gifts.

MBS is a space for connecting, healing and empowering women.  And for building community.

Bookings are open via Eventbrite, with an early bird ticket priced at £13.50 until 16 March when the price will then become £15.50.  Concessions are available at £6.
