Sizzling News from the Singing Heart

July 2010
Greetings!    
aarghhhh!!! anyone else get a wee bit frustrated about technical problems? As some of you who have been trying to find out what Singing Heart is doing are well aware, my website has been down for weeks, and for the last 24 hours, my email address disappeared. I think I have finally sorted these problems, so many APOLOGIES if you have been trying to find out about things or contact me unsuccessfully. Just in case, try both emails:
Suekali Yahoo and you can also phone/text me on +44(0)777 6081909. I am also exploring various networking sites to enable a wider group of people to get to know about Singing Heart events - check out these links:

And its also a good thing that technology crashes happen (I believe!) - we get to see how we are mentally and literally dependent on something which is really quite fragile. This morning I had two phonecalls from people who couldn't email me, which was a nice surprise to hear their friendly voices. Over the last few weeks I have been getting really inspired by lots of face-to-face personal connections with people, and experiencing the power of really clearly stating my intentions and seeing the results appear! What Singing Heart offers is all about real person-to-person connections - literally resonating together in the singing workshops, getting close to real people in the Intimate India cultural tour, and experiencing our bodily and soul connections to our family in the Constellations workshops.
So, as we move into summer, these are the treats you can give yourself, your family, friends and colleagues:
 
INTIMATE INDIA CULTURAL TOUR: deposits are now needed to book for February 2011.: this trip has a 3-day COOKERY extension course- learn to cook fabulous Bengali food.
 
First ever 7 DAY RAGA TRAINING with Rajeswar September 25th-October 1st) - the early bird deadline is THIS WEEK (9th July) so send your deposit in NOW (you can do a bank transfer, or PayPal - ask for an invoice). £200 secures your place. There is also the possibility to attend the weekend only. £60 secures your place on this.
 
VOICE CAMP in DORSET
Do you enjoy camping, open fires, wonderful singing drifting through the air all day long, fabulous food and good company? Rajeswar and I are teaching at the Unicorn Voice Camp which runs from 7th-15th August this year. Its great for groups of friends, singles or families - there is a fab teen and childrens area. Come join us!
 
SING for your LIFE weekly choir this is gathering momentum week by week. Usually every Thursday evening for an hour and a half - we sing some fab harmony songs and you get to learn how to sing from a relaxed body, open heart and flexible voice.
 
As always, there is lots more coming up, so check the column on the left and DO KEEP TRYING my website - I hope its going be up and running as we speak!
