A unique opportunity to integrate the voice into our mindfulness practice. Highly recommended for everyone interested in sound and voice with no experience needed.
Tim writes “Vocal sound is a contact with and expression of our energy, health and being. On this course we will explore from a source of listening. Our beginning point is the ‘Seven Shining Tones’, sometimes known as the Indian scale."

Tim Jones lives in Dorset and is a voice teacher and singer. He has studied Carnatic and Bhava music with Sivasankara Panikar since 1984, and movement meditation with Suprapto Suryodarmo since 1989.  Tim teaches in England and Germany, and also in India at the Kerala Bhava Sangeetha Academy. 

As a performer he has sung with Opera Factory, accompanied Indian classical dance and often works as a singer and storyteller with various Javanese gamelan ensembles.  He is currently performing as part of the duo TANDJ – Songs of Love, Devotion and Surrender - with tabla player Jon Sterckx.
 
The composer Judith Weir has called his voice ‘a unique blend of virtuosity and human approachability’.
