VOICE AND OVERTONE SINGING WORKSHOPS WITH RAVI

QUOTES FROM RECENT PARTICIPANTS at the Voice Workshops

QUOTES FROM RECENT PARTICIPANTS at the Voice Workshops…. “I attended my first ever cacao ceremony last year and was blown away by the outpouring of emotion that it drew from me – that I wasn’t even aware needed to come out! the beauty of the sounds the Ravi created just opened up the flood gates in me and I cried for an hour! Even despite singing and dancing, I just couldn’t stop crying! No doubt this was assisted by the cacao. A few weeks later I attended Ravi’s all day chakra toning voice workshop and it was an amazing experience – and I’m someone who considers myself a really bad singer! In our culture we’ve really lost touch with the importance of singing and I never realised how good it is for your body and sense of community until I did this workshop. I felt such a wonderful peace and elation for days after the workshop. I also became a lot more sensitive to energies and realised how poisonous the energy of the media and social media felt – which usually we don’t feel because we are so anaesthetised. So it made me a lot more discerning about what energies I expose myself to.  Ravi has the energy of a shaman and I can’t wait to do more of his workshops”  Nikola Cavanagh

“I have never expressed my feelings when I first heard You sharing Your music in Estonia. But now I feel I want You to know that the vision was about–when there IS a heaven (I don’t have a doubt:), there IS a little musicians jam room before the “outcome” of everything and there was You wearing tux and playing piano, singing like an angel on Earth. Your voice touched me so deeply. My friend with whom we shared that moment IS now in heaven and I am on Earth and we still can hear You singing Thank You Ravi  for preparing us for heaven on Earth. Great to have You in our lives!” Ketlin Kaljas

“Still basking in the beautiful vibrations created on Saturday. what a blessing it was to be there with you! THANK YOU!!!! I could not have wished to have a more magical experience with Ravi on his voice workshop and then evening ceremony. I was taken on a mystical journey of remembering, knowing and discovering. This is what we are meant to be doing as humans. Singing, celebrating, dancing and honouring. Ravi’s exquisite talent and safe space made it so easy to release the holding and move into authenticity. I sang like I’ve never before and was totally in awe of the whole day. Thank you Ravi for your gifts to this world. This is medicine every single human needs. I cannot wait to attend the next one! So much love and appreciation” Nina

“L O V E D Saturday – every part of it – Mind blowing. You are such a cool extremely talented dude with so much heart and meaning!!!” Jo

“I was lucky enough to attend a Cacao ceremony & concert lead by Ravi. Ravi really encouraged us to use our voices & really connected us together with beautiful chants & helping us to open our hearts. He then soothed us with a lovely sound bath. The quality of his overtoning is wonderful. If you ever get the chance to spend time with Ravi I highly recommend you do”
❤😊 Heather from West Berkshire

“Ravi is a sound wizard who has an amazing ability to create a blissful experience through music and the sounds of many different instruments, his music has got history and stories, and he can bring a group alive by creating a lively atmosphere and inviting all to sing through call and response. Time flies when immersed in the sounds and singing and this presence awakens one from the inside out. I highly recommend this experience to everyone”
Amor Armitage (Yoga teacher)

WORKSHOP DETAILS:

A voice workshop, with a focus on overtone singing and developing the power of the singing voice. Ravi is known for his ability to convey both the technical aspects as well as the esoteric and healing components of overtone singing. Even for those who do not think of themselves as singers, these workshops give confidence in finding your natural and powerful voice. Those of you who are already singers will find greater depths and possibilities in your voice

Finding our natural sound, breathing from the diaphragm, creating the mouth shapes for overtone singing, expanded listening and finally, hearing our own overtones clearly. We shall also sing together as an overtone choir and explore the self healing and healing effects of harmonics.

“Breathe and the sound of the voice are existential imperatives, one cannot wish them away. They connect us directly with our divine souls”

Ravi has led workshops and lectured at various Universities, schools, centres and art centres such as Colorado State University; Northfield College, Minneapolis and Garter Lane Arts Centre, Ireland, plus others in Australia, Brazil and UK

INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS AVAILABLE: VOICE & OVERTONE SINGING; SOUND JOURNEY & GONG BATH

ABOUT OVERTONE SINGING

Overtone sounds resonate in harmony with nature from the smallest atom to the planets and galaxies. Tuning in to these vibrations using the voice and other instruments allows a deeper contact with the psyche and spirit. As you learn to produce overtones with the voice and listen to the sounds of the gongs, Tibetan bowls and tambora a heightened sensitivity, awareness, peacefulness,cleansing, healing and deepened meditation emerge.

The power and beauty experienced by those listening to overtone singing and harmonic music derives from the music’s pure, natural and mathematical foundation.The harmonic series note relationships are found in nature, in the human voice and, strangely, in subatomic particles. Any fundamental note, from any instrument, creates an ascending series of notes (overtones). The arrangement of these allows for infinite harmonic relationships and frees us from the restrictions of modern tuning. The natural harmonics re-pattern our way of listening and free the mind, inviting us to journey within, beyond thought and emotion to the deepest of musical spaces. It is for this reason that overtones are naturally associated with meditation, healing and ceremony.

Anyone can learn to sing overtones and it is one of the most powerful skills for mastering our own energies and affecting the energy of our environment. The workshops are for people of all abilities including those who have started learning overtone chanting. It is not necessary to be able to sing. In the workshop we will make contact with our natural power sound, free the body and breath and learn to produce a variety of overtone sounds…… two tones from the same voice.
