Learn to get to know your own voice and free your rythmic expression as well as chant traditional zen sutras. In a weekend workshop/ retreat singer and music pedagog Eeva-Maija Vehviläinen and psychologist, psychotherapist and musician Ville Vainikka will provide the participants some improvisation based tools to use your voice and drum rhytms in an expressive way, and also as a tool to self inquiry, as well as to use the fruits of the voice and drum work in chanting traditional zen sutras. The program of the weekend will include some sitting meditation and short work periods as we follow a loose retreat-program. Everyone is welcome! You don’t need any experience or background in any kind of voice work, singing or drumming. Nor do you need to bring a drum, as the organizers will bring drums for all. You can, if you want, bring some instrument you like to be played at the ending circle.

The program starts on Saturday with zazen and the first workshop starts at 10 am. You are welcome to arrive on Friday evening already, (there will be a meditation starting at 19.00 on friday), but if you are not able to come earlier, please be there at the latest by 10 am on Saturday, when the first workshop starts. Price of the weekend is 70 euros, including food.
