KIRTAN & CACAO 'Yoga for the Voice & the Heart'
Join us for an inspirational evening of Song and Sound with renowned multi-instrumentalist and singer Ravi Freeman with special guests
Ravi has been inspiring communities worldwide with his unique approach to devotional singing. His events go beyond music — they offer a transformational journey of connection, remembrance, and unity. This distinctive style is participatory and intimate, creating a profound journey of discovery into voice and unity
This will be a transformational experience of devotional singing with songs & chants from around the world plus sound journey.
The session consists of an hour of singing followed by a sound journey (including gong bath) and ends with more singing.
The event includes a ceremonial drink of Cacao
All levels of singing ability welcome ; you do not have to be able to sing to participate in these Voice Events
“Ravi is a rare talent - a musical shaman who knows no fear.
He has been an inspiration to us over the years as he continues to cross borders and boundaries in his quest for musical expression and freedom"
DEVA PREMAL & MITEN
Ravi is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, singer, pioneer of overtone singing and one of the longest established Western players of the kora (West African harp). His music is the result of a lifetime exploring the edge, through world music, tribal cultures, overtone singing and a journey that has taken him from India to the Amazon via Africa

As well as over 20 CDs, international performances and workshops and the invention of the electric/stereo kora, Ravi has also worked with artists such as Nigel Kennedy, Jon Lord, Phil Manzanera, Baaba Maal, Dr John, Ronu Majumdar and Marlui Miranda. The most recent albums are “Teacher in The Forest” with Charlotte Mabon, “Two Rivers” with Adrian Freedman and “Songs for the Golden Age”

Ravi leads Voice Events in the form of “Kirtan & Cacao” and “Overtone Singing and Voice Workshops and Retreats” which take participants on a transformational journey of discovery into the voice
