WEEKEND SNAPSHOT

FRIDAY

You’ll arrive at around 5pm (if you are self camping we open the gates for you a little early so you can get set up) and get settled into your room (boom boom, come shake the room).
Join us in the main space to meet your hosts and fellow participants. We will kick the weekend off with a workshop and a big juicy singalong (kumbaya). After dinner we will have a fireside singalong to get the choir fire started! (we didn’t start the fire, it was always burning, since the world’s been turning)

SATURDAY

You’ll start your morning with some optional dance, stretching or breathwork (I like to move it, move it) or you’ll decide to stay cosy in your bed and join us for breakfast.
The rest of this day will be completely jam packed (pump up the jam).
You will break into small groups and have sessions with a selection of choir masters.
We’ll converge for all meals and breaks (with a restorative session mid way through the day).
Before dinner we’ll come together for a big group sing. The night will end with a fireside singalong bringing to life that which we learned through the day.

SUNDAY

We’ll start our morning in the same way as Saturday with optional movement, dance or stretching (oh I wanna dance with somebody), or breathwork.
We’ll do a workshop exploring different warm up options and a song exchange (doe a deer, a female deer).
A large group session with one of our incredible choir masters.
After afternoon tea, the weekend will end with our final workshop and sing along.
We’ll say our goodbyes at around 3pm and prepare to return to the real world, singing all the way home! (I ran all the way home doowoop doowaaa ooh).
