Through playful sonic exercises using bird instruments and vocal mimicry (humming, harmonising, bird-call explorations, live ambient instrumentation featuring the peacock inspired strings of the Taus, and clay bird whistles), we will explore sound as a collective, ancestral and healing practice. Rooted in deep listening, collective harmony and more-than-human worlds, the session will culminate in a lullaby-style sound bath, offering space for stillness, nervous system care and intentional rest.Date: Saturday 29th August Time: 10:30amMeeting location: Flying Horse Lawn, Lodge Lane, Sheffield, S6 5SPAccessibility: There is a short walk over grass from the carpark to the session location.Duration: 2-3 hoursAdditional details: There is free parking at Flying Horse Lawn along Lodge Lane.We reccomend organising car shares via our closed Facebook group: .The Sunday bus is now back running.
