I have been singing for 14 years and teaching natural voice for 7 years, with both small and large groups. I am a member of the Natural Voice Practitioners Network and co-founded Big Sing Dorset with Gilo.

My intention is always to create a safe space in which everyone can enjoy their voice and experience the magic of harmony singing and the sense of community that it can bring.

At the camp I will be leading some of the morning sessions, working with the Harmonic Temple, a body of harmonised chants written by Nickomo using mantras from various spiritual traditions for affirmation and healing - angelic sounds to summon up warmth and wonder.

I will also be leading the singing for the circle dancing and teaching the songs to those who are interested.

I came relatively late to the joys of harmony singing, joining in the Taize (spiritual chants, with simple but beautiful harmonies) in the Nature Sanctuary up at the Findhorn Foundation. Having previously considered myself totally 'un-musical', I found it deeply moving to be a 'part of' the music (rather than just part of the appreciative audience), and my bliss is to be alongside people as they experience that journey for themselves.

I will be offering sessions in which we'll build (slowly!!) from  breath-work and body-work, to 'call and response', to rounds and simple harmonies, using songs from around the world.

Bruce Knight has been running singing workshops since 2000.  He is known for his upbeat and energetic style, and his love of songs with simple dances or movement.  Bruce runs the 90-strong Songlines community choir in Warwick and Leamington Spa, and is a regular teacher at the Unicorn Natural Voice Camp. 

In 2003 Bruce travelled to Sierra Leone to learn Mende gospel songs, and he has recently begun a career as an acappella arranger and composer.

Andy has been a voice teacher and facilitating groups for about 20 years. He founded the community choir Global Harmony based in St Albans, which he directed for 5 years, which is still thriving under new leadership.

Andy leads chanting groups, teaching sacred chants from all traditions and has a particular interest in Native American Indian chants, having studied shamanism with Leo Rutherford.

His sessions are focused on having fun and building confidence.

For over 10 years I have been leading chanting, Taizé harmony chanting and rounds. I love to create a magic and sacred space with our voices. I am leading a Taizé singing group, a chanting group and a peace dance group in
Cambridge.

Sometimes I forget that I am originally from Berlin - singing unites us on another level. I like to play with polarities with voices, speeds and moods. Joy and laughter may change to ecstatic chanting and fade into dense silence.
I am also a supervised teacher of the DUP and have led many groups in Berlin, England and Latvia. My favourite dances are rounds or harmony dances with two or more circles.

My spiritual home is in Subud; I am also a Quaker and chair of the Cambridge Inter-Faith Group. In the Sacred Arts Camp working group I co-ordinate the international outreach.

Habiba has been involved with Dances of Universal Peace for over 20 years and leading them for most of that time.  She was in at the start of the Peace Through the Arts camp, which subsequently evolved into the Sacred Arts Camp.  She has also had a long connection with Sufism and its various practices.

Particularly in the last 8 years or so, the ancient Sanskrit prayers and mantras have inspired her a lot and been a regular part of her practice.  Two of Habiba's primary inspirations are Haidakhan Babaji and Amma, the hugging saint - but she will pick up Bhajans wherever she will!

At the camp Habiba will offer Bhajan singing morning and evening, accompanying the sessions on the Indian harmonium.  Bhajans are devotional mantras in the Sanskrit language and have a very uplifting effect!
