A weekend of Joyful Sound
9-11 May
We’re partnering with Clare Norrish to create a deeply refreshing weekend of simple song and chant to bring the mind into oneness and joy.
All food and activities are included and the weekend is from just £265 per person. Email hayecornwall@gmail.com for more information and to book
By coming to one of our retreats you are directly helping to look after the animals in our care – thank you!
We have three rooms available in our lovely holiday cottage, which has two bathrooms, a cosy lounge with understairs reading nook, and a comfortable kitchen.
The cottage has two double bedrooms and one twin room that can be converted into a king.
We also have a large double room with en suite shower, and a double room with shared bathroom available in our 1600s farmhouse.
We’re based near Liskeard in Cornwall and are easily accessible by car, with plenty of parking.
You don’t need to have any formal singing experience or be able to read music to enjoy the weekend, just a love of making joyful sounds. Everything will be taught by ear and we’ll be singing to relax, and to bring connection with each other, the land, and the animals.
You’ll start on Friday evening with a walk round our 25 acres of meadows to make you feel at home. You’ll learn about land regeneration projects and meet some of our resident rescue animals.
We’ll provide a light supper of vegan Cornish pasties and close with a guided relaxation in our beautiful and warm studio to send you off to bed ready for a good night’s sleep. If the weather is kind, we’ll have a firepit or star gazing – we have incredible skies here
On Saturday we’ll start the day with another singing session and then we’ll take you on a guided tour round the land to see our regeneration projects.
In the afternoon you’ll get to meet the animals properly. We’ll show you how we use positive reinforcement training to look after them, and you can get hands on with feeding and caring for the donkeys, ponies, chickens, and Buddy the pig.
We’re also planning to sing to the animals! You can see what it’s like to sing with donkeys here.
We’ll also provide a delicious vegan lunch and dinner on Saturday and close the evening with a soundbath to send you off to bed yawning and completely relaxed.
