I'm a prolific songwriter, passionate intuitive singer and compassionate vocal leader dedicating my gifts to serenading Earth.
Rooted in South Devon since moving here to study at Dartington College of Arts, I'm forging community with other singers, human and otherwise to create song centred sacred celebration of Earth intending to generate a mutually beneficial resonant invocation of thriving life.
Having always lived in the edges and hedgerows, I have a deep connection to the land and an unending sense of awe and adoration for the extraordinary complexity of living things and being a living part of this phenomenal planet.
My work is most alive at the intersection of voice work and nature connection.
For the past year I've been training in the Work That Reconnects body of faciliatation work curated and created by Joanna Macy over her exceptional 40 year career, under the guidance of Lydia Violet from Music As Medicine Project.
In the dominant culture of the society in which I live, singing is commodified, voices are idolised, scrutinised and judged until ordinary people are silenced.
I feel an extraordinary resource is being wasted.
All that supposed celebration of singing, distorts its very purpose and nature and is so far removed from the visceral experience of singing.
For me it is primal and fundamentally human to sing. The adaptations that have enabled us to speak and to sing are one of the great evolutionary leaps of our species!
Singing together with other people, particularly with the joyful, playful dance that is harmony and rhythm, is one of the finest experiences life has to offer. Reaching resonance together as singers is a sublime experience.
Besides all that, singing is just plain good for you. All that breathing supports us!
As a mother, the opportunity to be immersed in song, has felt a valuable gift for my child, so I wanted to create opportunities to make it happen and so Wild Birds Singing was born.
Parents sometimes arrive with stories about being dismissed at school or in choirs as children and having their voices stifled from a tender age. I feel so passionately about modelling generous hearted singing experiences for our growing children. There's so much to be learned about through singing in community; stories, messages, language, music, unity, cooperation and cohesion.
Watching the development and growth of the children who attend Wild Birds Singing is awe-inspiring and it just FLOORS me when they join in with a bit of a song, some groovy moves or a bit of stick percussion.
From out of the mouths of sleep deprived, run-ragged parents and babes has poured forth such beautiful, tender song and heartfelt harmonies.
