"These songs are about forgetting dying and loss, they rise above coming in and going out, they amount to one soul meeting another."
Kabir

"Call it voicework or song, Anthony's heart-guidance and passion
travels across all kingdoms of aloneness and wasted years to the Great Meeting; face to face, Ocean Bringer, roaring the Earth's sound of rocks waterfalls, praising the skies and the green world, calling what is
Holy with the wine and flowers of singing beyond restraint. Beyond all fearful, noble or spiritual shame, Anthony teaches from the rocky precipice of being alive now. "  

Shivam O'Brien - Co-founder of Spirit Horse Foundation

Singing in the Wild is a unique retreat that weaves together voice work, music, spirituality, and ceremony. The process is profound and transformative; the result is a powerful journey into the heart of one's humanity.

Living close the the earth, contemplating the natural world and our own wild and liberated nature, we come together to move beyond the ordinary, to celebrate our intimate connection to the Earth, to each other and to the unspeakable mystery that lives in each of us.

Singing in the Wild takes place at the wild and beautiful Pennant Valley, Wales. The group is supportive, focused and respectful. You are welcome whether you already sing or thing that you can't.

First conceived in 1994 by Anthony and Paloma it has run every year since then.

Comments from previous participants

"The loving support which I have received whilst finding my heart's voice, against a wild and ancient landscape has made Singing in the Wild an enriching time that I have longed for throughout every year since I first attended."

"Those days in the valley were amongst the deepest, most profound experiences of my life so far - and believe me, I've had a few!"

"I do not suppose, nor can I hope to have a musical experience of such delicate intensity anywhere else"

"I have nothing but praise and admiration for the way you and Paloma held the space and worked with us all."

"I heard and saw people singing with passion, sensitivity, generosity and love - it was a most rare vision that has touched the very core of my being.
