What People Are Saying...
Hooking up with Orchard of Pomegranates over the last year and a half, and the creative musical forums and workshops you have produced, has been a very positive and transformative period in my development as a musician. More than anything, its the way you do things with an amazing open heart of peace and wisdom. Thank you so much.
There are no words to express the gratitude for you and Orchard of Pomegranates in 2021. My enrolment in an empowering Vocal Workshop as led me to Orchard of Pomegranates on Patreon. I see you as a discerning listener, resonant musician, and warm generous human.
Craving to get creative juices flowing in a heartfelt environment? Orchard of Pomegranates is THE place to be.
I was struck by how I did NOT feel nervous (which has been a problem for me on zoom meets). I would def recommend it. I think you are an amazing facilitator and so soothing and kind. It was like you prepared an amazing Middle Eastern table with different spices and hummus and tabouli and olives and malabi and sharwama and tantalizing choices. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
It's a banquet, with lots of nourishing and delicious ideas and processes to chew on, and interesting people to experience it with
Kindness as a physical aspect of practice.
being in your body and your breath, taking time to arrive
I'm learning not to question what I truly want to do; just do it! Do the thing!
I love improvising online. I didn't think it would work because of the delay, but it turns out the delay is actually completely welcome in the process!
It's wonderful to open up my breath using movement. I learned a new modality! It was like nothing I have ever done!
A feast of inspiration in the context of a very generous, inclusive community with tons of things to take away and practice as well as a boost of energy to do so.
A chance to learn and be inspired by a diverse community of creative people, and gather useful tools that you can apply to your own creative practice. Energizing and healing.
An interactive tasting of different ways to loosen your voice -- the attendees are as fascinating as the teachers.
A gathering of very beautiful artists (both the participants and the presenters) sharing a very holistic approach to voice work and music creation; endless different jumping points and places of interest that could really ignite anyone.
stimulating sampling of disciplines and skills, presented by an all-star faculty who are encouraging and responsive. I love meeting the supportive and talented attendees, who are engaged in different types of creative work all over the world.
