This is an exciting time as we come up to May Day- until the pandemic this was the time of my residential living Mandala weeklong ceremony which I hope to start again next year.
May Day marks both the beginning of summer and the marriage of Heaven and Earth -celebrated by our rotating dance around the Maypole which represents Heaven actually penetrating the Earth- the ultimate manifestation of fertility and the unity of this ultimate polarity. "Unite and unite, let us all unite, for Summer is a-come unto day" the ancient May Day chant enjoins us. This is a perfect time to renew ourselves, to understand and transform our ancestral patterns into the ultimate realisation of our dreams.
As my work is both intimate and energetic I feel a responsibility to livestream online for now- but what we have all discovered is they work just as well this way as the healing energy is transmitted so powerfully through the field.
Please join me and tell you friends! Scroll down for the next two upcoming workshops. This upcoming workshop is a unique opportunity to joyfully end unwelcome inherited patterns from our forbears - and bring about transformations and healing we could only dream about.

Sonorous Shamanic family constellations – Find the keys that set yourself, your family, and future generations free; transform clamorous ancestors into benign allies and powerful guides.
When ancestors or family members have died or left the family at a young age or under unusual or difficult circumstances – such as accidents, suicides, wars, addictions, emigrations, incarcerations, adoptions – these or other traumas of separation cause painful patterns of exclusion to be frozen in time, trapped in the unconscious field of the family, and can become like magnets, which later generations may be drawn unconsciously to repeat. Current family members might find themselves doing things that make no sense in the context of their own lives, until they discover which earlier family member they're "following."
These inherited patterns create powerful unconscious compulsions. When you honour and restore the excluded ancestors or family members, however, you re-establish the integrity of the field, dissolving the trans-generational tendencies and liberating the living, their children and future generations. This work can be intense, oracular and profoundly healing and seems to restore aspects of the psyche closed to normal therapeutic methods.
Attend individually or with other family members. You do not need to know much about your family and they do not need to be alive.
Price: £147, (approx as it depends on fluctuating exchange rate: €175 US $189, CAD $240)

Learn the ethereal and meditative vocal sounds of Ancient Mongolian Overtone Chanting, one of the most powerful tools for healing yourself and others.
Liberation Through the Ecstasy of Chant. An uplifting exploration of transformative breathing and chanting, mantra and sonic meditations, sacred and shamanic chants; healing; and sonorous dream work.
We learn and practice Mongolian overtone chanting: an ethereal and powerfully meditative vocal yoga, which transforms our voices into rainbows of sound and light. We experience vocal purifications and ways to set parts of the body into resonance, cleanse and tune the chakras, and learn sonorous massage. Healing to safely give up and purify redundant parts of our selves and be acknowledged in the fullness of our potential as luminous human beings.
Working with the voice in this way empowers our lives, balances our mind and body; frees our voice, bringing physical health, emotional joy and spiritual ecstasy.

Jill Purce talks to Dr Guy Hayward about her pioneering Healing Voice Mandala process. In this, the group itself becomes a mandala incorporating multiple and deep layers of symbolism in relation to the structure of consciousness according to the Tibetan understanding of the mind. Jill does these ceremonies twice a year, each with a different theme, process and practice. The group spends 5 days journeying through the mandala of extended practice and deep psychological explorations.
Jill Purce talks to Dr Guy Hayward about her Healing Family and Ancestors Workshops, describing how she combines chant and family constellations. She discusses the role of the ancestors and how by enlisting them as allies we can transform our lives and those of our families and children.

An excerpt from Gaia TV interview with Regina Meredith. The full interview from October, 2018 is available to Gaia subscribers.
Jill Purce pioneered the international sound healing movement through her rediscovery of ancient vocal techniques, the teaching of overtone chanting, the power of group chant, and the spiritual potential of the voice as a magical instrument for healing and meditation. She pioneered the practice of honouring and healing ancestral traumas with her Healing Family and Ancestor work and her Resonant Family Constellations, and activated the mandala as living practice with her extended Mandala ceremonies. Her 1974 book The Mystic Spiral, Journey of the Soul was a seminal influence. The Bishop of California describes her contribution to the 1990’s installation of the labyrinths in his Grace Cathedral, San Francisco: "She helped inspire the birth of the modern labyrinth movement. Jill’s groundbreaking work with the labyrinth was inspiring, informative and important…it couldn’t have been done without her work.”

The past may be another country, but it's a place that can cause extreme suffering for people living in the present. Not just through historical causality or learned behaviours. Jill Purce, pioneer of the sound healing movement, has developed an approach to healing based on the understanding that unresolved ancestral patterns are transmitted transgenerationally.
For Purce there has never been a clear-cut line between science and spirituality. In her powerful voice work, she draws on acoustic research as much as ancient traditions of chant. More than 20 years ago she found a new focus for her interest in healing the continuing effect of ancestral patterns on the living, and how these could be transformed. Now science seems to be catching up with her. Many recent findings, including those on the children of Holocaust survivors, suggest that the effects of severe trauma can be inherited epigenetically through the turning on and off of genes in a away that is not yet understood.
I am not modest — I am trying to re-enchant the world and make it magical again through chanting. I want to reintroduce the extraordinary power of group chanting into our daily lives.
Chanting and singing bring joy and ecstasy back into our lives, by allowing us to acknowledge and become part of a power and dimension beyond our own — to praise and participate with the divine. It can also improve our health by reducing stress levels. Humming as we meditate can stop our mind wandering on to past problems and future fears.
My particular interest in sound probably came to me in the womb, because my mother was a pianist and my father was a doctor. It is the healing and transformative power of sound that interests me most.
My work with sound started in the late '60's when I saw a film of the work of a man called Hans Jenny, a Swiss engineer and doctor who was influenced by the work of Rudolph Steiner. He was showing the effect of sound on matter. He had made it his life work to demonstrate what happens when you vibrate matter with sound in a variety of ways, and used all kinds of different substances...
