SUNDAY 8th FEBRUARY

10.30am to 4pm

South Luffenham Village Hall,
Rutland

THE DAY

This day retreat will give you chance to dive deep into group singing. You will learn beautiful songs by ear that we will sing in harmony or in rounds. These songs will help you to connect to your mind, body and those around. Giving you time to reflect and release in a warm, welcoming and safe space. The songs you learn will help to create your own ‘tool kit’ of songs to guide you through any moment in life when you might need them.

You may arrive from 10am to get comfortable in the space, make a hot drink etc and be ready for a 10.30am start. You can expect a warm-up to enable us to access our voices safely and get the most out of the session. This will be followed by much song learning and sharing. There will be breaks for refreshments and hot drinks will be provided.

This day workshop is open to all women, you do not need to have experience of singing in a group or be a regular attendee to our singing circles to come along and join us.

LUNCH

I would like to invite everyone coming along to bring one dish for giving that will form a shared lunch. This does not need to be expensive, shop bought, home grown produce and home made dishes are all very welcome. It’s a lovely way to come together as a group to share a meal together.

Please bare in mind that there might be dietary requirements and allergies, it is therefore recommend for a shared plate that you do not cook with nuts. If you do have specific dietary needs you also have the option to bring your own food to eat alongside everyone else.

WHAT TO BRING

You will need to bring your lunch time offering and also bring along a drink with you, preferably a bottle that can be refilled.

I also suggest that you bring something you can write with and on. We don’t write down the lyrics to songs but there may be a little bit of time for journaling or noting down anything that may come up for you.

The temperature in the hall is likely to be good in June but if you’d like to bring a blanket or a cushion to make your seat more comfortable please do. We will also hope to spend some time outdoors if it’s a sunny day so again bring a picnic blanket or camping chair if you’d like to although some of these will also be provided.

PARKING

Parking is limited at the venue. I have spoken to the pub opposite the village hall, and they have agreed for some cars to be parked in their car park.  There are parking spaces on the main road as you come through South Luffenham in the laybys and also parking on the streets surrounding the village hall. Please be mindful of residents and make sure drive-ways are kept clear.

The road that the hall is on is quite narrow so there is no space to park outside the hall. If you have mobility issues please do let me know. If you can car share, please do and plan to arrive early to find parking and walk to the venue.
