Music and Singing in Education
Spirit-led Education for a Spirit-led Life module
By Meaghan Witri
“And what will sound from the spirit realms?”
All of the arts can bring the human being to an experience of our inner space and life. They can develop our capacity to listen to what lives within, what weaves throughout, and what sounds from spirit realms. Together, we will explore the arts of storytelling, music and singing as we look more closely at what stands behind these artforms in a spirit-led education for the future.
The Module Includes
- 1 Main Lesson
