Didgeridoo playing in Foyer

Ruth Jenni is a percussionist, songwriter, didgeridoo player and mother.   Her didgeridoo style is different from the aboriginal style and is more congruent with being a white British woman playing a British made didgeridoo.  Her presence and energy whilst playing has been described as 'surreal and haunting' and 'absolutely amazing’!

La Luna the Sacred Clown

1100 – 1130

The Sacred Clown expresses the simplicity and beauty of the moment ... the here and now ... as he or she is at that moment, touched by life ... then with open arms and open heart leaps into the unknown meeting the next moment.

Claire Taylor trained in Fashion at St Martin's School of Art and in Sacred Clowning with Didier Danthois.  Both her performances and clothes designs reflect her passion for self expression and inner beauty and celebrate the divinity and humanness in each one of us. (clairlaluna@hotmail.com)

Kavi Jezzie Hockaday on Guitar

‘Courting the Beloved’

1500 – 1540

This is heart music, music to meditate and relax deeply to.  The words pure, healing and authentic have all been used to describe Kavi’s compositions.  In his own words:

‘I try to express something beautiful through my music. The kind of beauty I am talking about comes from the deepest level and emanates outward; it is a vibration, not a veneer. Music is a two-way process in which the composer and the listener meet. I would like the listeners of my music to be willing to hear it a different way – with the heart, with acceptance ‘

Kavi’s album ‘Unconditional Love’ released this year on New Earth Records will be on sale. (www.myspace.com/kavihockaday & amodakavi@yahoo.co.uk)

Phil Braakenberg

Acupuncture demonstration

1550 – 1620

Probably Indian (Vedic) in origin, the use of acupuncture as a healing therapy spread east to China where it was formalised and integrated into traditional Chinese medicine.

It involves puncturing the skin with fine needles, from depth of about 1mm to several centimetres, at specific points on the body.  The needles can be removed immediately or left for various times, depending on the practitioner and the patient.  Acupuncture can be used to treat many disorders and some claim to be able to induce anaesthesia with its use.

Phil trained as an orthopaedic surgeon and taking various course in acupuncture led him to teach at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital on a visiting basis.  He uses acupuncture daily in his GP’s practice in Torquay and offers a range of services on a private (visiting) basis.

Christoffer de Graal

Presence & Resonance Workshop

We will create a safe held space and will be using the body, the voice and a wonderful variety of musical instruments to stir, provoke, and arouse all that we want to be.

Max Mezzowave Live

1915 – 2000

 ‘Every once a while an utterly brilliant album comes along that defies categories and surprises you at every turn.  The Hub by UK artist Max Mezzowave is that kind of album.  It beckons and gently embraces you while slowly twisting your head inside out every time you hear it.  There’s long, colourful passages of instrumental ambient sound and rich synthetic chords, but with no obvious roots in anything that’s come before’  Chill Out @ In The Mix by Mikey G

The Indian way of call and response makes learning very accessible.

Miriam helps people to access and strengthen their own natural voice to reveal confidence and release tension.  For more information on Miriam’s classes at VoiceWorks: Miriam_kisters@yahoo.de
