DRUM & CHANT around Summer Solstice time!

23rd of June 2023, 6-9pm

After a few wonderful session in the woods with collaboration with WESSEX  WILDERNESS SKILLS, we are going to  welcome you back to the woods again! This time at the magical time when  the wood is full of bluebells!

Join us for a wonderful celebration with music, chanting, drumming and more!

Hearts open when all co-create the soundscape together!

Welcome  to our special evening with the collaboration between  Wessex  Wilderness Skills and Magdalena Atkinson Music. Let's drum,  chant &  make music together out in nature, in a beautiful wood!

What  to expect? Magdalena's  events are the unique original blend of   Magdalena’s  spiritual music woven into the community spirit. Nothing   touches us more  deeply individually or collectively then being fully   engaged in a  joyous & positive activity. Interactive concerts have   been created on  the foundation of this principle.

During  the  workshop  you can choose how much you want to  participate, by  listening, singing or playing together. Everyone has an  opportunity to  be fully engaged, invited to join with a voices and  rhythms. Magdalena  performs her music and skillfully teaches her  original chants and songs  to everyone, gradually  introducing more  instruments and more freedom of  expression. She creates  a thriving  environment, leading all to the  community music making, full  of  exuberant joy and healing.

Magdalena  has been sharing her events at festivals and retreats,  always moving  the audience deeply and allowing all to be the authentic,  creative  and  joyful!
