Each of Jill's week intensives is different. We will learn and develop the ancient shamanic practice of overtone chanting, vocal purification practices, transformative breathing, vocal yogas, sonorous meditations, sacred chants, mantras, and sonic practices to transform family curses into their corresponding blessings and heal the ancestral lines.

We will be also be working with, and becoming the mandala, or structure of consciousness of the supreme alchemical balance of male and female - the union of these two is the ultimate spiritual path, sought after in different ways within all traditions. On this occasion, Jill will work with the Mandala of Red Tara. Red Tara is the magnifier and magnetizer of all good things and remover of obstacles - her practice bestows energy and and empowers us in our endeavours for the good of all, and develops our inner power as a means of enlightenment This work combines and contain continuous chant, profound spiritual practice with joyful deep and transformative psychological work. Many people including almost all Tibetan Buddhists from the most sophisticated to the simplest, including the Dalai Lama, maintain their deep connection with this feminine manifestation of the divine, who acts swiftly and confers compassion, enlightened action, liberation, emotional and physical healing and long life. Through working with the extraordinary energies of Tara we are able to ease the blockages to achievements in work, in life and in emotional and physical health , bring about order and flow in our lives and work towards achieving the essential state of reality and become enlightened.

The April-May 2009 retreat is held over the festival of Beltane or May Day, a festival of fecundity when the forces of heaven penetrate the earth (represented in traditional England by the Maypole). We will celebrate and harness these forces using sound as the bridge between the worlds to connect to the source of power through the instrument of our own voice and purify the body, the elements and past karma. In Tibetan Buddhism, the ultimate liberation is to transform the elements of the body into the essence of their substance - the rainbow colours and ultimately achieve the rainbow body.
