An uplifting retreat day of drumming, sound and voice

Come and discover that there is already a place for you in The Joyful Orchestra.

You don't need to be musical, tuneful or confident, and no previous experience is necessary. This isn't about performance or learning to sing – it's about finding your groove and experiencing the joy of creating something together.

Through drumming, percussion, sound and gentle voice exploration, we'll discover how rhythm and sound can help us become more present, more connected and more comfortable being ourselves. In a warm and welcoming atmosphere, you'll be invited to join in at your own pace, knowing there is no right or wrong way to take part.

Come exactly as you are and enjoy a day of rhythm, sound, laughter and connection in the beautiful surroundings of Ammerdown.

Find your groove. Discover your voice. Belong.
