Charlotte Hastings - Sounds Alchemical
Charlotte has worked with sound from a young age, learning instruments and singing classically throughout her education and into adulthood - working with the voice and sound has always been foundational to her wellbeing.
Over the last twenty years Charlotte’s journey of self development has traversed psychotherapy, yoga, lucid dreaming, breathwork, sound and receiving wisdom from indigenous teachers to honour all life as ceremony. She has qualified as a yoga teacher, certified by The Yoga Alliance, and as a Crystal Sonic Therapy Sound Bath Practitioner, with Crystal Singing Bowls UK. Charlotte has been holding space for women’s circles, yoga and sound baths for over a decade.
If all matter is made of vibration, it seems only natural that vibration has an effect on matter. There is something mysterious and wonderful that happens when working with sound in a non-classical way.
If you can allow the voice to move through the body without imposing language or classical western harmonic structure upon it is as though something of the subconscious can emerge in a way that language doesn’t facilitate.
Similarly if you allow the body to relax deeply, immersed by sounds that create an aural landscape, an inner space can be accessed to support deep restorative relaxation.
Charlotte works with Crystal Alchemy Singing Bowls, her drum and rattle made in Colombia, kochi chimes and other instruments as they appear to support your journey.
