2018 DATES BELOW

The work is ancient and new, of sound and silence. Captivating for those who have done it, many wish to return to craft anew, an instrument of fine sound frequency that will outlast the many generations to come. A record keeper and a close ally…sound as a companion to moments of utter peace and stillness.

 

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to make your own healing tool? A sounding instrument that carries a sound frequency of depth and beauty, crafted by your own hands and heart filled desires A hand crafted singing bowl calling card towards the creation of the future.

 

Come and take part in an immersive workshop for birthing sound frequencies through the conscious transformation of material. 

 

To craft your own singing bowl is a fun and rich experience of immersion into an ancient process of forging, working closely with the elements and the tools whilst bringing a new consciousness to every moment.

At the end of the three days you will not only a have a beautiful sound companion and ally, you will have gone through an embodied experience of personal and alchemical change yourself. In this workshop you will work closely with nature in its most elemental form – fire, water, metal, hammer, hand and heart.

 

From these forces sound will be both creator and created. If you have ever wondered what it is to be in the mystery and awe of creation then consider participating in this generous space for craft and community.

hese workshops provide a rare opportunity to enter into an authentic alchemical process, whereby what outwardly appears to be a transformation of base metal, is in effect, a transformation of ourselves. Ever since meeting you and creating my little bowl I have felt a stronger connection with mother earth ,and a happiness in sharing my positive vibrations with my family, meditators and the world.

Throughout the workshop you will scribe, cut, shape, fire and sink your own bowl.

Throughout these processes you will be guided not only in the physical, but also in the metaphysical implications of making a singing bowl. Modern science has come full circle to rediscover the wisdom of the ages: All matter is in essence pure vibration, and intention colours form. 

 

You will be assisted in holding a focused intention as you beat the metal in order to imprint the work with an appropriate vibration.

The act of bringing consciousness to how we perceive sound and our developing sensitivity to resonance will underpin all we do. The workshop will come to completion with the individual initiation and tuning of the instruments that have been created.

I loved every moment of the time I spent with you, and am profoundly grateful to you all for following your callings the way you do. My, what a difference it makes to the world….My bowl has been instrumental in some really transformational work on many occasions. It has become iconic in our participatory leadership gatherings in the Commission. People’s eyes and souls light up when they hear that I made it with my own hands. It’s like a miracle’.

I very cleverly chose to attend a Workshop in Co Leitrim last weekend, where I created my very own singing bowl. Facilitated by Heather Cowen and Gabriella. Oh my, what a weekend. Hosted by Beautiful Moya in a magical space that she envisaged 4 years ago and nurtured into existence with such magic and honouring of nature’s wisdom and bounty. So the process began.
A weaving of Possibilities. An exploration of All. Every one? of the 13 beautiful Beings that attended, brought such magical threads to the woven Weekend. Marie of Click here gifted us The Celtic Tree Whisper Cards.
And as I picked my card today and sat in the vibration of my singing bowl, I was Transported again to the deepest gratitude for you all. If you get a chance to attend a class with Heather and Gabriella, follow that Click here

Feedback / Appreciation from Workshop participants:

THE FACILITATORS:

Singing Bowl Workshops5
discovered her passion for forging, smithing and other craft – based work in her teenage years. She applied some of her metal work skills during her farming apprenticeship in her early twenties and then moved into a different path of working with music and sound, facilitating groups on transformational journeys, pilgrimages and workshops, that assisted a deeper connection with the Natural world and ones own soul resonance.

Her sound healing work was complemented by the making of her own instruments when she met Ton Akkermans – master coppersmith and bowlmaker -in 2003 and started training with him. 


The bowl-project emerges after this 9 year apprenticeship.


Thanks to Quentin Cowen whose passion and dream made it possible to take this work to the next level. Gabriella is also a deeply intuitive sound healer/ sound alchemist with many years experience of accompanying individuals in their souls journey and path.

 

Entering into the alchemical process with the metal, the fire, the elements and the vibration of intention and spirit through the making of the bowls has taken her sound healing work into another dimension.


Heather holds the soul and hearth of the bowl project. Heather has a passion for bringing Heatherpeople together, creating a field of safety where all gifts and felt experience may be expressed.


Highly intuitive and a gifted facilitator and listener to the space between the veils/words/hammer blows she enables and creates a generous space for the individual and the whole to come into resonance.

 She is inspired and guided by her awareness that everything in existence lives, breathes and has an intelligence that can be engaged with – seen or unseen.  

 She has been crafting singing bowls and developing her natural gifts as a ‘bowl whisperer’ since 2010. ‘Bowl making is a process through which I experience that I myself am being forged . . . often bringing into coherence a place within me or the wider community that has not been met.

 Through this work a great deal of our buried selves is given an opportunity to be seen, witnessed and integrated. The relationship of one’s own innermost process to the outer creation serves to fully engage the maker and allows incredible transformations to occur. Through the crafting of singing bowls I have been brought to the birthing process of Me and given access to the consciousness present in all of life.’

 

The sounds that emerge from a completed instrument are then set free to create fields of coherence for potentially hundreds of years. ?For Heather’s website and more information Click here

 

Ton Akkermans, the inspirer of this project is a coppersmith, sound therapist and healer. based in the Netherlands. He has been working 18 years in child psychiatry as an Antroposophical guide and taught Arts in a Steiner School. He also has been working as a restoration and Coppersmith crafting many sound instruments. He teaches children to empower themselves through the process of forging.

 

He gives lessons on the HU colleges in Amersfoort, art and coaching.

He is the founder of Foundation Odebaer, a Spiritual Centre and the Be Foundation, in which he is a very active member.. Click here To contact Ton himself, email: Click here  more info also here: Click here

Carolina Schomper: Quentin and CarolinaCarolina co-facilitates with Ton. She guides the meditative processes holds the energyfield and co-facilitates all the practical and energetic processes – being a powerful healer and intuitive herself,

Quentin is a fine craftsman with deep intuitive faculties. He spent his formative quentins-first-bowl.jpgyears in the Far East, where the local culture left a significant impression. Human and ecological conflicts of the time troubled his soul and ignited an early spiritual inquiry. Memories of experiencing the sound of a large Daoist temple bell, struck in a hillside monastery, pointed towards an answer to the unformed questions in his heart.


Years later, he was privileged to be overwhelmed by the mystical experience of hearing the ‘roaring silence’ of the cosmos, while on a hill overlooking Ganden Monastery in Tibet. In 2010 he met Ton Akkermans and since then he has been forging a path for himself making singing bowls, tingsha and other sound instruments, in a continual quest to encapsulate the ineffable and mysterious “original sound”.


Quentin undertakes individual commissions and co-facilitates bowl making workshops with Gabriella and Heather.

THIS YEARS SPECIAL RETREAT:

6th – 11th SeptemberWhat Does it Take to Transform?

 

The Forge @Newbold House, Forres nr Findhorn, Morayshire, Scotland A Sound, Craft and Personal Transformation Workshop and Retreat This workshop/ retreat gives us extra time in a very comfortable and spacious house for a period of retreat and opportunities to explore the question of transformation, drawing upon the elements of Craft and the Elementals of Nature.

 

Connecting to the original energetic footprint of co-creation with the intelligence of Nature at Findhorn we will co-create with the special land energies of Cluny Hill, the power of place and the Findhorn vibrations which resonate throughout the world. This is a very special opportunity, which has arisen from our visit to Findhorn last Autumn. Working predo

 

minantly in brass and bronze, you will scribe and cut the metal, working closely with the fire and all of the elements to sink and shape a finely crafted sounding vessel; an instrument that will outlast many generations to come.

 

Instruction in the use of the tools and one to one support will be available throughout the workshop. You will be guided not only in the physical, but also in the metaphysical implications of making a singing bowl. Modern science has come full circle to rediscover the wisdom of the ages – all matter is in essence pure vibration and that intention colours form.

 

Throughout the workshop we will co-create and hold a focused space in order to bring forth your instrument. This act of bringing consciousness to how we perceive and experience sound, and our developing sensitivity to resonance, will underpin all that we do.
