Resona participants share their experiences:
"I arrived a bag of nerves & finished the day on a high, with my heart singing freely with a group of people singing from their hearts, singing a song that was ours, but never to be sung again, what a beautiful & joyful experience."
*****
"Everyone was so focused. It was wonderful to see people grow so confident in their practices – and to witness the explosion/birth of creative activity at the end!"
*****
"Khayli mamnun (many thanks!) for an exhilarating, devastating, joyful and, above all, present weekend. Leaving at the end took several attempts!"
*****
"Participating in the course has been a very enjoyable and valuable experience and has expanded my confidence and abilities greatly. It continues to have a direct and positive effect on the quality of my work. I have to thank you for introducing me to the way of the gong and to the shruti box. These two magical tools have opened up another dimension of sound, music and listening for me."
*****
"In the secure environment of trust created within the group I found the courage to sing from the very depths of my body, developing a new song, my first performance!"
*****
"I get a great deal out of the weekends, stimulation, encouragement, confidence to experiment, being at ease with making sounds. I have particularly enjoyed all the sound baths we have been exchanging."
*****
"The biggest impact in my daily life has been the inclusion of playing shruti, singing scales and improvising in my morning meditative time. I really enjoy it, it feels like a natural progression and I know that my voice is becoming stronger."
*****
"I found the sense of joy and play an aspect that I've not felt in any other sound experience. Absolutely wonderful!"
*****
"I really enjoyed the improvisation sessions. They completely enticed self expression and the opportunity to take a chance and to be creative".
*****
"Thank you from my heart for Resona, it has been the experience of a lifetime for me."

“What a wonderful experience! I believe this workshop should be compulsory for all NHS staff and Stefan should be employed by North Bristol Trust on a regular basis. I am sure efficiency would improve and stress diminish ten-fold under his care!” NHS Staff Arts Event
