♦Singing & Adventure Retreats♦
Stay tuned for more exciting Voice Retreats in 2020!
The Sound of Being has been held in Maui, Mexico, Costa Rica, Sunshine Coast of BC and various places in Alberta.
♥The Sound of Being♥
Imagine looking out at the pristine blue ocean and hearing the waves gently rolling in and out on the beach. You have just spent the day singing and connecting to your body in a way that you never experienced before. It feels like you have had a massage, you feel alive, tingling and it feels deeply sensuous to Be in your body. 
You remember it was the Sound of your own voice that did this! You remember hearing the sound of your voice like you have never heard it before, you sounded beautiful and more than you somehow, your voice sounded like it was connected to everything around you. Like it was ♥The Sound of Being…♥
Expect the unexpected…
♥The Sound of Being♥ is more than you even imagined, as well as meditation, singing and gentle movement it is also an adventure into the unknown. As you and those around you begin to connect more deeply to your Being, the magic really starts to happen.
As well as the planned adventures of horse back riding, or swimming with the dolphins or diving to the bottom of the ocean in a submarine, the real adventures are now happening within you and around you in very unexpected ways that all of you know could never be planned!
♥The Sound of Being♥
Mind – Meditation & Stillness to bring calm and stillness back to the body.
Body – Gentle movements to develop subtle body awareness to your body and to help release stress. Experience the sound of your voice vibrating inside of your body and feel alive!
Spirit – Connecting together singing songs that help you to drop into your sacred body and remind you of who you really are once more.
“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strong pull of what you really are.” Rumi
Energy – ‘Everything is Energy‘ and indeed we are made up of this vital energy from tip to toe. As you move through the ♥Sound of Being♥ retreat you will begin to gain deep understanding of a 2000 year old energy system called the Chakra system.
This age old system is at the heart of yoga (to yoke or make whole) and to know this system is to have access to vital information that you will carry with you your whole life.
Anna Beaumont has been studying the Chakra system for over twenty years and is an expert at helping others to discover this inner vitality for themselves.
A Health Professional in Integrative Body Psychotherapy and voice teacher Anna combines the worlds of the voice, the Chakra energy system, psychology and spirituality.
Testimonials from the recent Wilderness Retreat in July 2016:
“This opportunity is a fabulous experience which I most highly recommend.
Anna Beaumont, with her gentle, intuitive, guiding wisdom will take you on a journey you won’t soon forget.
The Sound of Being Retreat is a place to BE … to be heard, to be loved, to be accepted. It’s wonderful!” LINDA
“Your spot on intuition that is like a wash of clean energy through the entire room, yes like the bells you ring to penetrate into the heart of what is most needed in any moment. It is equally beautiful and freeing to witness and to experience.
The manner in which you inform us by experience and example that everything in life and spirit is coming through the voice and the vast amount of help that that is in my life.” RAE

“THE SOUND OF BEING” – NARAMATA, B.C
MAY 26TH – 28TH, 2017
FRIDAY EVENING – SUNDAY AFTERNOON
$275 + $10 MATERIALS FEE
FOR YOUTH 16 AND UP
SPRING 2017 NARAMATA CENTRE
A program designed to help you connect to your mind, body and spirit through the experience of singing, meditation, movement and mantra. “Your voice is a reflection of your connection.” “Like one pure drop of water, one drop of a note into your Being can open you to who you really are.”
The weekend in the gorgeous wine country of Naramata will be spent imersed in sound. The sound of your whole being. Listening deeply as well as bringing your own voice to the land.
Sound and singing is one of the most grounded practices that we can do. I like to say “The sound that grounds is the ground that sounds.” The ground is our roots, our earth, our connectedness, our right to be here and to be alive.
The weekend will be spent in a meditation of music, mantra and connecting deeply to the moment, here and now.
“In this moment right now this love comes to rest in me.”
We will meet whatever is in the way of your voice, and welcome it in to get the most benefit of your experience of the sound of your voice joining with the sound of being in Naramata. “This being human is a Guest House every morning a new arrival.”
There will be use of gentle movement practices to assist the flow of energy, along with voice practices connecting you deeply into your body with simple sounds and tones.
This workshop is $275 + $10 for music.
This is only the cost of the workshop, please contact Naramata Centre here for accomodations.
