YOUR FACILITATOR

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

REVIEWS

I found the practices freeing and restorative - a really lovely way to explore/be/connect through sound!

A beautiful practice! I felt a deep connection with my voice, grounding and energy rising. 

Fun session! Really helpful to get me over my blockage/fear of singing. Stefano was great and it made it a safe space to play around with voice. Spurred me to spend another 30 min after the session singing along to loads of songs, which was exactly what I was hoping to achieve. 

I joined this course because I have trouble communicating. Firstly, this course deepened my understanding of the sounds/vibrations of my voice to improve the quality of any mantra I may use. But most importantly during the exploration of my voice old wounds have been exposed for me to now heal.
