About the session

A day immersed in harmony singing! We’ll also wake up our creativity with vocal improvisation and a guided meditation, to then create our own harmony songs. • Step into beautiful, historic surroundings • Sing beautiful songs in full harmony, all taught by ear • Enjoy a delicious lunch and refreshments THE VENUE The retreat will take place in the beautiful Drawing Room of Braziers Park, a community, residential college and architectural treasure with extensive grounds near Wallingford.
