Body & Sound Workshop
What: This gentle one-day workshop advances themes introduced in Dance on Winds of Sound.

Sing the Rainbow
What: A one-day "first steps" workshop in Overtone Singing -- the ability to sing two or more notes at the same time.

Relieve stress, soothe the body, stimulate the brain, have fun!
