Dru Sound Weekend Retreats

This course consists of three long weekends per year for two years, starting on Friday evening and ending after lunch on Monday.

This is a specialist course which will be held at Yr Ocar, our luxury retreat centre. We only have 15 places for this unique course and at this time we do not plan to run the next sound course until 2013. For this reason places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

The cost of each weekend will be £390, including food, shared accommodation at Yr Ocar (some of which is ensuite) and tuition. There are very limited single rooms available at a supplement of £120 per weekend. The course fee is payable 6 weeks before each course.

Find your voice and who you are
Your voice reflects your own unique personality. The sound you make and the way you use your voice reflects your self image, which is why it is so valuable to learn how to realise the full potential of your natural voice. You will discover your own resonant tone and develop a personal practice to help you to develop full power in your voice. You will learn deep listening skills, essential breathing exercises, and the principles of resonance, entrainment, sacred sound and chanting.

You will learn the art of toning and harmonics to develop the power of the voice as an instrument. There is a strong focus on chanting and sacred sound as well as learning sacred prayers to empower your life. There is a science to learning the power of sacred words and mantras to help to heal your emotions, empower creativity and greatly increase self-esteem. Students are also given the opportunity to learn performance singing although this is optional.
