It will be the road to Mastery in the use of Sacred Sound as a transformational tool and in the service to Humanity. Each day we will be working with different sacred instruments; to learn how to use them in performance and healing for others as well as ourselves.

GMT Chakra Dancing & Creative Expression Workshop
In this fun and creative healing workshop students are invited to explore each of the Chakras through Music and Movement. This freeform, joyful and spontaneous movement practice is led by Elizabeth to an eclectic mix of global music influences composed especially for each Chakra including shamanic drumming, funky soul. Latin jazz, native Indian chants, rattles, percussion, ambient nature sounds and Tibetan bowls.
It is recommended to wear loose clothing and trainers or bare feet to energise the body and free the Spirit!
This workshop has proved very popular with GMT students to enhance creative expression, self-empowerment and confidence in group gong playing sessions.
