2. SOUND TRIP to 'HAWKWOOD' STROUD, ENGLAND
Create your own sound instrument in complete tranquility and harmony.
From 3 August till 6 or 8 August 2013
On 9 August a initiation day for all the people who already made a sound bowl once before in the course with Ton & Carolina or with Quentin, Gabriella & Heather.
Hawkwood , a place where the Energy of the goddess is present in a great natural beauty, big trees and a well!!! We can feel the beauty of ourselves in connecting with that beautiful place of Hawkwood.
We will connect us with the world of sound and will create our own sound instrument out of the silence and “right” intention”.
In order to make a good sound instrument we will connect ourselves through mediation with the World of sound. The forging is a meditative and artistic process. It is absolutely not heavy and is accessible for persons having some problems with their shoulder or elbow. It is all about rhythm and letting the weight of the hammer do its work.
By means of a lecture the nature of sound will be revealed and also the diversity of sound dimensions we can connect us with. Through examples and experiences we will make you feel intensely: sound and its laws.
The sounds that will arise (in frequency 432) bring us back to silence of the soul. Your first instrument will be your own personal bowl for personal use only. In a 2nd or a 3rd workshop you are able to create a therapeutic sound bowl, rods, triangles, cymbals, tub bells or a gong.
The sound instruments will be initiated and connected to a sound grid (dimension) of this era. Sound is the origin of creation and how you play is of crucial importance. We will pay attention to this.
Learn to listen to the sounds, the energy and the silence will make us aware of nature in all its elements and will bring us into a deeper contact with our soul.
If you are the owner of a sound bowl (or more) you can bring this in order to have it connected to the present sound grid and in order to open it, if you might whish. Ton has the gift to see and feel where old Tibetan sound bowls once were used for and where in this era they should be used for, in order to open them to bring their energy to this present era. You will be surprised about the difference in sound and energy that will occur, the space the bowl will be given to take its righteous place.
The rooms of “Hawkwood” are simple, clean and well taken care off.
The meals are of good quality vegetarian and not vegetarian.
The program:
In the morning we start the day after breakfast with some physical exercise in the open air after which we start a meditation in the sitting room.
The artistic process will start. The cutting of the material, file, cleaning, the forging, and the finish touch. This is an individual process and everyone chooses his/her own natural spot to work.
We will give extra attention to the listening and feeling of sounds and opening of the bowls you have brought with you, a lecture about the sound world and of course the continuation of working on the completion of your own instrument.
Also we will experience what sound does with nature and with elementary beings.
The day will be completed in the sitting room in order to enjoy our dinner in a satisfied way. In the evening we can do some therapeutic sessions with people who need that. Or make felt as under layer for the bowls or make fire in the traditional way.
The terrain itself offers plenty of space to wander around in the beautiful garden if you feel or sit at the well under the very big tree and drink the water.
The workshop starts at Saturday 3 August till 6 or 8 August and there will be a sound concert, also for other people who not doing the workshop. We ask 10 pound for the people not doing the workshop. The concert is really a journey to the inside of your self.
On the 9th of August there is the initiation day to go deeper in the sound and in what sound is doing with you, your inner space and as creator and answering the questions.
Costs : ????- incl. all meals (vegetarian), bed and breakfast, concert and spiritual guidance. Exclusive materials € 25 till € 50,-
The sound workshop will take place with a minimum of 6 participants!!! You will return with a valuable instrument that will last for centuries and will be a true heirloom (maybe even 2 instruments).

3. SOUND TRIP TO THE PYRENEES IN THE NORTH OF SPAIN
Create your own sound instrument in complete tranquility.
February - March 2014
English spoken (Dutch language workshop is one week earlier:
Spain, a country where the Energy of the Goddess is present in a great natural beauty and natural roughness!!! There we can feel the greatness of nature.
We organise a sound trip to the region of the Cathars in Spain. At Celtic goddess locations we are taken back to the silence of the soul. At a marvelous natural site we will connect with the world of sound and will create our own sound instrument out of silence and “right” intention”.
By means of a lecture the nature of sound will be revealed and also the diversity of sound dimensions we can connect with. Through examples and experiences we will make you feel intensely: sound and its laws.
The sounds that will arise (in frequency 432) bring us back to the silence of the soul. Your first instrument will be your own personal bowl for personal use only. In a 2nd or a 3rd workshop you are able to create a therapeutic sound bowl, rods, triangles, cymbals, tub bells or a gong.

It makes a huge difference if you book your flight in time.
If you go by car, the way through Clermont Ferrand is far out the cheapest and also astonishingly beautifull. ( less taxes and you will see the wonderfully beautiful bridge near Milau )
Sometimes cheap flights are not going daily, so it could occur that you will arrive earlier or leave later. In this case, you can always book some extra nights at the Rectoria de la Miana. Tel. (0034)-972190190 Frans Engelhard
