From Jazz history: “that was the idea of improvisation, where as we say you do your own thing. well yes, there was this freedom to express yourself and this was pure joy because as we all know when we can do that whether speaking or singing or playing or whaever we feel good about it when we can tell our story.
Oh but for being so far away!!!!!!!!! This is something I would die for to do….maybe when my silver goes through the predictable roof…do you think this will be the first of many…why not go inteernational…it would be a hit in the Great Southern. Congratulations Libby on stretching my limits of dreaming and imagination. I love ya honey!

Hello, are there any places left on this course? Do you have concessionary fees available? Do I have to be experienced at Buddhist meditation to apply?
Thankyou!

Hi Lucy – yes there are still places as of today. Many people have said they are coming and deposit cheque / bank transfer is due tomorrow. I think all of our concessionary places are taken. If you want to come, best thing is to call me tomorrow for a chat. No need to have done any meditation before. 07968 687 107. How did you hear about it?
