Let us join together, young people from far and wide, to sing, dance, move, play and celebrate our collective creativity!
This year will be our third birthday and this year’s retreat will encompass everything from the past two years, but with more! Harmony singing, more dance and movement and a deeper exploration of sound, silence, movement and stillness. We will let poetry, stories, songs, melodies, rhythms and the space between nourish us as we arrive deeper into the present moment.
We will sit, breathe, walk, eat and work together in mindfulness to discover the source of our inner music and explore the music of our hearts. Together we will live the rhythm of monastery life for seven days and enjoy music, meditation, sharing and joy. There will also be the space for expressing sorrow and difficulty and the opportunity for healing through singing and moving together, as well as creating safe spaces to share from the heart.
If you play an instrument, or know a dance, then please bring it with you. But don’t worry if you consider yourself unmusical – everyone is welcome to come and enjoy themselves in an atmosphere of togetherness and acceptance. If you have any questions please send us a message: charlietrump@gmail.com
