Singing surprises!

I asked a choir member if she had any requests of songs she would like to sing as she was coming on her actual birthday...

She asked for 'Rock Yourself' or anything by Jody Vyner .uk

When the birthday girl walked in I said, I've one upped your request for a Jody Vyner song, I've brought Jody Vyner herself! She didn't believe me...

A whispering went through the room as people realised that this woman who had written many of the songs we sing regularly was going to sing with them...there was quite a lot of "no way" and "really?"

And then it was just a normal session, women raising their voices together. Learning new songs, singing old ones!

And a new birthday song, thanks to

Happy birthday . I'm not sure I'll always be able to bring the songwriter for each birthday request 😅 the group were hopeful that perhaps could come next time but Edinburgh is quite far!! Although maybe???

❓️😕I've been in a bit of a dilemma.

I've been going back and forth about whether or not I want to renew my herbalist insurance (which is a considerable chunk of money for a small business like mine). And I've come to realise that it's not really about the money but actually the fact that the direction of my work has changed and I am now actively choosing to follow where there is momentum, deep joy and curiosity - which currently is in my natural harmony groups and vocal improv group SongLab.

I have loved my slow, experiential moments with Herbs & Harmony. I have loved introducing herbs to people in this way - my own special musical and intuitve way (largely inspired by my good friend Nathan of the school of intuitive herbalism). I have loved witnessing the wonder that occurs when we slow down and smell the roses (literally!). But for now Herbs & Harmony will become an offering that I will gladly offer upon request rather than a monthly gathering open to all. 

So despite choosing to not renew my insurance, I am, and always will be, a herbalist. My connection to the land is rooted in the plants that I know and love and have brought into my home as medicine, food and beauty. Herbs and trees are intrinsic to me and my offerings - that won't change. And my training as a herbalist has deeply informed how I mother and how I interact with the world - it was a gift to go through those years of study!

So a massive heartfelt thank you to all those who have come to any of my Herbs & Harmony sessions - it has been a real pleasure. Keep tasting teas, exploring the plants and singing. 

Oh and of course there will likely be excellent herb teas at any singing retreats I do!

Photos are from some of the meetings with plants over the past year and a half

Love,
Hannah

Women of Tunbridge Wells, you are needed!!

This is how it sounds on Monday evenings in the Old Auction House in .

This gorgeous song is by Lotte of and my group of women were incredibly moved singing it to each other, for each other and for themselves this Monday just gone.

Something really magic happens when we sing together like this. No pressure, no sheet music, no solos just repetitive mantra like songs that slowly seep into our consciousness and become part of our everyday world.

Come and try us out for free, you've got nothing to lose and so much to gain!

✨️A gift on the darkest night of the year - a wonderful song that reminds us of what can happen in the darkness - we can see the stars.✨️

A beautiful round by Jake Alexander, the words are from Martin Luther King Jr.

Shared at Forest Row Folk night this week by myself and Naamah - a friend, colleague and fellow leader in song (and SongLab).

I'd never had that feeling before, leading together, feeling her literally at my back, working together, I think particularly because its a round, and a tricky one at that, it felt that without doing it together the experience would have been entirely different. It was really wonderful and I think reflected the songs words too.

Thank you for capturing the moment💚

May we all look for the stars in the darkness and know that we are not alone.

Why is it so hard to ask for help?

A few weeks ago I made a secret webpage on my website, encouraged by a good friend.

I was/am asking for help to pay for the venue fees for my Tunbridge Wells choir for the next 3-6 months (£500-£600). You can read the story on the page but my aim is to grow this singing for wellbeing group to 50 women in the new year 💪😎

I was encouraged again today when another friend said she had seen my story a few weeks ago and had gone to donate but hadn't finished and then lost the link (which I had only shared once). So here I am again, posting an actual photo about it.

It's brave asking for help and when we do it can be met with kindness and support. And I know there are a million and one causes that all need help out there but I am putting mine out there now too...I think it is hard to ask for help because sometimes we don't value ourselves, so here I am, endeavouring to value myself, my work and my group of women.

Thank you to those that have donated and shared already. I've raised just over £320 and it means the absolute world to me.

Thanks you for this beautiful song that makes me cry.

I sung it as I gathered herbs this morning.

Have you ever thought you're not good enough? I GET IT! I often battle with this thought...

This group though, SongLab, is all about embracing the fullness of your creativity and that means that we all dare together in creating spontaneous music just with our voices - it's an adventure and it isn't about being good enough!

Of course it's helpful if you can keep a beat and hold a tune but the most important part is actually a willingness to be on the adventure - knowing that we won't get it "right" every time.

It challenges our feelings of preparedness, allows us to flex that improvising muscle that we are often frightened to do in front of people, it builds community and supports musicianship.

And it's addictive!

You'll want to be improvising with your friends all the time!

Come join the adventure in the new year ✨️ maybe pop it on your Christmas list!

Thanks to friends, and here specifically .mexis, I am beginning to uncover the core reasons for why I do this work... what drives me and what change can I affect in this crazy world.

Do you know your why?
