Your voice is a powerful tool for self-discovery, meditation and healing. Through this five week journey, you'll explore various techniques for unlocking your voice, opening you up to deeper self-expression and greater connection to yourself and the mysteries of existence. 

There are a never-ending number of ways to play with our voices - in group settings and individually, deriving from different cultures and with different purposes. Stephano will share many traditional techniques for using the voice as a tool to body, mind and spirit.

All voices welcome! (You’re not expected to have any vocal or dramatic training : )

Key areas we will cover:

  • Voice & Movement 
  • Vocal and Breathing Techniques
  • The Magic of the Vowels
  • Overtone Singing
  • Mantra Aum/Om
  • Sound & Music (one-note music, consonance/dissonance, basics of acoustics, overtone series)

We will explore these by drawing upon methods used in ceremonies and in artistic contexts, many of which (such as mantras, overtone singing and Tibetan chants) create trance-like states of deep presence.

Please note that numbers are strictly limited for this course so that we can create an intimate space for learning and sharing, so don’t leave buying your ticket until the last minute!

YOUR FACILITATOR

Stefano Sgarbi is a musician, sound therapist and workshop leader. A personal journey of self-discovery and studies of practises such as tai-chi, yoga, alternative singing techniques (e.g. overtone/throat singing) and didgeridoo has led to Stefano his own therapeutic and meditative practice for guided and mindful use of the voice and body. 

His love of art and music evolved into a passion for electronic music and sound therapy, leading him to study electroacoustic composition at the prestigious Institute of Sonology (Royal Conservatoire of The Hague, Netherlands). His ongoing research, as well as his ambition to continue to grow his techniques, brings him to many festivals across Europe, including MoDem, Shankra and Psy-Fi, demonstrating and guiding others in these innovative methods. 

As well as being a sound therapist and workshop leader, Stefano is known for his music project Sun Anga, collaborating with many international musicians and performers and is part of the Anthropos Festival community.

Participants describe the events as fun, delicious experiences that were freeing, restorative, and nourishing for the soul. Stefano is praised as a gentle, clear, and compassionate leader who creates an open, non-judgmental space. Many found the practices deeply connecting, allowing them to explore and express themselves through sound in a surprising and intimate way. Attendees consistently express a desire to participate in more of these workshops, with several noting the transformative impact the experience had on them.

What a delicious experience! So novel and liberating to be able to just make any sort of vocal sound in the company of other people doing the same. And surprisingly intimate too - how we each sound reflects how we feel and then we can hear how other people feel and we can react to that, try to harmonise, make space for it, reinforce it, whatever. And the whole time we were all co-creating this magical sound. The world needs more of this!

I went in expecting nothing for the event and was pleasantly surprised how good it made me feel once I left my anxieties and judgments at the door. Stefano made the group feel comfortable and never felt like anything was rushed. Was quite emotional for me surprisingly but a lovely container was built so it was lovely experience.

It was beautifully put together and guided. A wonderful space created for us to let loose a little.

Talullah is a gifted facilitator. The workshop had lots of really practical tips. It blended playful interaction while the participants were invited to express and witness their inner emotional journey during the process. As a hypnotherapist, I often help people with self-esteem, so I love her song 'I am enough'. To actually sing the words is powerful medicine and therapy, so I fully recommend anyone to experience this.
