What we’re about
This meetup group has been set up to connect the community of people in Dublin and surrounding areas who are interested in sound and its effects on wellbeing. This includes people who simply enjoy singing together, as well as people who specifically use sound for its healing effects. If you would like to learn more about the practice of Sound Healing, look at the 'Pages' tab in the menu above.
The Sound Healing Practitioner Training course is now offered in Ireland. It is accredited by the College of Sound Healing (UK) and recognised by the CMA (Complementary Medical Association).
The course consists of five 2-day courses undertaken over an 18 month period. This training can be undertaken by people whose intention is to heal themselves as well as those who would like to become Sound Healing Practitioners and work with others.
The initial course 'An Introduction to Sound Healing with the Voice' is open to everyone. See Upcoming Meetups for more details.
Check out the pages and discussion boards for more info on Singing, Voice Work & Sound Healing.

‘At the heart of each of us, whatever our imperfections, there exists a silent pulse of perfect rhythm, a complex of waveforms and resonances which is absolutely individual and unique and yet which connects us to everything in the universe. The act of getting in touch with the pulse can transform our personal experience and in some way alter the world around us’.
George Leonard, ‘The Silent Pulse’ Bantam Books, 1981

"The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other and to be stretched large by them"
Frances WellerThis season of Leo & Lugh, moving into the Celtic festival of Lughnasagh, is inviting us to dive into source & deep gratitude for Mother Earth, for her bountiful gifts, whilst holding our collective grief & tender hearts alongside each other. A leaning in close to community, a stretching of our hearts out large and wide, feeling the pulse of life & sharing it freely, our expression, our courage, our rhythm with presence.

As we pause, we reflect on the fruits & harvest of the land, & explore the seeds we have nourished & cultivated this season within ourselves & our Sangha ( community ), & how we might move with deeper intention & attention into the months ahead.Join us Thursday August 7th, 7pm to 8:45pm, at a stunning private, indoor location in Sandycove, just a few minutes from the beach, in an invitation to enter into softness, gratitude & presence, beyond judgement and thought, & explore a heartfelt conversation through sacred song and mantra in community.
A beautiful intentional space of devotion & joy, peace & gentleness, where we will slow down together, and open our hearts to the universal intelligence that moves within & raise our singing voices and prayers out around our world. We will weave & flow our gratitude & grief, joy & ecstasy, and all the emotions in-between, as they arise. Creating space together & dropping into Grace and Love, connecting to the ancient ritual practices of Kirtan (call & response singing from the heart) meditation, prayer, embodied movement, EFT, and sound-bath.
We will be accompanied on guitar, harmonium and percussion and most importantly by our deep intentions. We will go for an optional sunset swim in the 40foot and/or a barefoot paddle along Sandycove beach afterwards.
Absolutely no experience of singing or meditation needed. Just come as you are, & you will be welcomed warmly.
Bí Linn - be with us, bring it all & let’s sing & dance & swim in sacred ritual together! Felicity x

https://www.tixtree.com/.../ecstatic-fire-dance-heartsong...Interweaving Ecstatic Dance with HeartSong, in a single gathering with a tea ceremony, creates a beautifully powerful arc of embodied transformation through movement and voice.
Expect lots of craic, ceoil agus grá.
The dance guided by Aidan @dansezvous.ireland will help release any tension, emotional blockages, and mental chatter through free, intuitive movement. It bypasses the thinking mind and opens the body.
Following this release, HeartSong invites us to reconnect & nourish our heart and spirit frequency through communal song, chant & prayer, gently guided by Felicity @felicityanandakirtan, inviting devotion, unity & pure joy. HeartSong, a form of freeing our voices, setting our intentions, opening our creative channels and connecting to the infinite realm of eachother's harmonies invites a magical wave of voice and body reconnection ceremony.
The meeting together of dance & uplifting healing songs & chants offers our nervous system a total reset from expressive release to calm centredness.
Aidan's DJ is set after a heart-opening hawthorn tea ceremony, where we will invite our intentions for the evening. Dance and HeartSong can help further clarify & deepen our intentions. Music will be a mixture of ethnotronika, folktronika, afro house, hypnotic and heart opening beats.
No dance, singing or meditation experience is necessary.
Complementary tea & some delicious light snacks will be provided.
This is an OUTDOOR event so please dress in warm layers (for all weather!!) and bring a blanket/yoga mat/cushion for your comfort.
We are so excited to connect with you.Le croí, Aidan & Felicity
