Dilraj Kaur:
Natural Voice Network leader, senior organiser of a social justice charity (Citizens UK), mother of two, and carrier of the Sikh devotional singing. Join for a nourishing day of voice, mantra, and deep gathering & listening.
This workshop offers a gentle and welcoming space to reconnect with your natural voice, regardless of experience. We will begin by warming up the voice using the Indian classical scale Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa, grounding ourselves in breath, sound, and presence.
From there, we will explore simple, accessible mantras, sung together with and without accompaniment — including guitar, harmonium, and moments of a cappella singing. Mantras will be repeated slowly and intentionally, allowing the voice to soften and open. Along the way, Dilraj will share the meanings, stories, and cultural roots behind the chants, offering depth and context to the practice.
The day will close with a deeply meditative Indian classical sound bath, led by Dilraj’s partner (Sundeep) – a trained Indian classical musician playing the Dilruba, a rare and soulful bowed string instrument known for its evocative, heart-opening tones.
Ryan O’Riordan:
Ryan leads many weekly choirs in London, including the UCL Jazz Choir, the Greenpeace Workplace Choir and the Islington Community Choir and many more! Ryan also leads weekend workshops and residentials and has developed a style which is high-energy and fun loving. His original songs are funky and soulful, and are incredibly joyous, rhythmically infectious and fun. Ryan’s written songs for many occasions, and his song Dirty Water has been used up and down the country to raise money for Surfers Against Sewage. Ryan really believes in people power; the only way we can achieve anything meaningful is connecting and collaborating. So in any project he runs, he always tries to make sure it’s contributing to lifting people up, making people happy and bringing people together.
