The course includes a full day’s excursion (usually on the Tuesday) and it’s also possible to add one or two shorter ones yourself. There is a large and lively local street market on Thursday morning most weeks.

Russian folk songs embrace the whole of the landscape and all of Mother Earth. This wide geographical span is present throughout the whole culture and gives the songs an extremely broad emotional depth. Large musical intervals in lyrical songs call to mind the vastness of Russian topography stretching toward a boundless horizon. In eastern folklore, each snowflake and each blade of grass embodies the spirits of nature – and this connection is felt within every song for ritual pagan holidays, circle dance, laments, wedding and lyrical songs…
Nigunim are Jewish songs without words and are a part of Jewish Musical culture that enable the singer (either alone or in groups) to bring about a change in spiritual and emotional consciousness. Using healing nigunim, the participants will be invited to tap into deeply enlightening and powerful sources of personal energy, individually and collectively accessing their personal creativity. Each participant will find a way to express themselves through their own unique musical language.

Cost: £620.00
