Music and Mystery: The Spirituality of Music

This workshop will examine the roots of music in the sacred. It will draw on accounts of the musical experience to see musical experience as one of encounter. It will look at the relationship between spirituality, culture and religion through musical experiences. The day will include practical activities in the areas of listening, improvising, moving to music and singing. The discussion of the theoretical issues will be drawn from the practical experiences of participants both within and outside the workshop. It will look at areas connected with spirituality such as well-being and reconciliation. It will use musical examples from a variety of cultures and traditions. No previous musical experience is required for participation although if you do play an instrument please bring it with you.
