Presented by Marguerite Mullée

The eight modes of Gregorian Chant contain layers of meaning beyond the text itself which can offer us a path to deeper insights. In this workshop we will explore the sound-world of Gregorian Chant through listening and meditation. We will also have the opportunity to share our responses through discussion, drawing and journaling. This workshop is suitable for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Chant.

Cost with lunch included | $60
