The Healing Voice A Week Intensive What Participants Have Said About Previous Weeks :

"Thank you for that wonderful week. I felt significantly different - clearer, more confident, more powerful, and have been more competent in handling situations that I previously found threatening. People have told me I seem more alive and substantial." Linda, psychotherapist, Kent

"After the week everything just fell into place – job opportunities, everything. It was healing at such a profound level. After it my life was completely changed." Anne Grete, musician, Denmark "I can’t get it into my life, it’s too big. I didn’t know what I wanted, but it was exactly what I wanted. It was brilliant. I’m trying to lay it down like good wine." Carol Beth, university lecturer, Oxford "I feel quite changed, things are more clear; wonderful connections have been happening to me that make me know God is alive and well and looking after me. Ideas flow and I feel my work growing. Physically I feel better than I have in a long time. The work keeps my heart opened, I feel the flow of spirit." Joan, artist, San Francisco     "Thank you very much for The Healing Voice week. For me it was like a fairytale. Your teaching, and all the people. I think I have never received so much love." Jan, actor, musician, Göteborg, Sweden   "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! What a glorious week! Despite my grim exterior, the child in me had a ball." Arthur, retired scientist, Chingford "Thank you for that wonderful workshop. It surpassed all of my expectations. As a teacher, conductor, performer I really appreciate how you used our voices to allow us to begin to heal ourselves." Paul, musician, California "That week was the most moving and enlightening week of my life. I hadn’t realised how out of touch I was with my emotions." Roger, managing director, Guildford "It was more than I could ever hope for - brilliant. I felt like I had come home." Maria Ilse, therapist, London "Jill Purce has set out to enable those who study with her to recapture the lost rapture of resonance so familiar to the ancients. She cultivates in her classes an echo of now-distant rituals, calling up ageless rhythms and sounds ...Once I loosened my jaw and got comfortable in my seat, I found that simply opening my mouth and letting my breath leave my body produced the most wondrous, comforting sound. And after playing a bit with the register and deepening my breath, the overtones started to come unbidden. Once that happened, I just rode the waves of harmonics pealing like cathedral bells in my body. Soon it seemed that the overtones were emanating from my very bones - from the region bounded by my shoulders, collarbone, and cranium. And I had the thought, This is what the crystal glass must feel like when I rub my finger on it. The only problem I had with the exercise was that it ended too soon. What was surprising to me was that, although I am normally about as given to meditative exercise as a cow is to flying, I found this particular ritual effortless, pleasurable, and uplifting. "If this is meditation, I guess I can do it," I thought, just about the time Purce was saying, "chanting in general is the easiest way to meditate".
