Soon you will 'hear' the harmony at Maryholme.

Group singing boosts health and well-being; and offers a fun, 
supportive, and inspiring environment to learn how to sing and 
connect with like-minded individuals. 

– “Singing releases endorphins, the brain’s ‘feel good’ 
 chemicals providing an over-all lifted feeling” says author and voice coach 
Tammy Frederick. Some people experience fear when confronted with singing, 
since it involves stepping out of their 'comfort zone'. In a group setting, through 
being 'in it together' and having fun, fear is easily and quickly transformed into 
confidence and happiness. Singing in a group also helps reduce performance 
anxiety, giving participants the opportunity to release their voice in the 
supportive environment of the group. “The fun and challenge of singing in 
harmony with others is a wonderful stress-release and mood boosting activity” 
says Ms. Frederick. 

Tammy Frederick is the creator of the group singing class called Harmonise, a 
fun and interactive experience, bringing together singers and would-be singers 
who want to release their own voice while learning how to sing in harmony with 
others. No previous experience is required to take part in the class and it has 
something to offer everyone. 

Harmonise starts April 14th and runs every Sunday night from 6:30 - 8:30 pm for  
8 weeks, at Loretto Maryholme, Spiritual Retreat Centre, 379A Bouchier Street, 
Roches Point, ON. Registration is $160, plus $30 course materials for Simply Sing 

by Tammy Frederick.

One Billion Rising!

One Billion Rising dance party at Maryholme! Loretto Maryholme was pleased to participate in the OneBillionRising Event
 http://www.onebillionrising.org/ on Feb 14 2013.
This was a global event aimed at encouraging women and men to strike, rise and dance in support of ending violence against women. 

We gathered in front of the fire and reflected on this issue briefly and then headed outside to dance.  It was both meaningfull and a whole lot of fun!      We ended the evening inside sharing hotr cider and the treats that everyone contributed.
Many thanks to Janice Turner and Lois Hayes, for their enthuisiastic help with the planning and for bringing their wonderful puppets.  And to Erin Wrightson for volunteering her time 
and talents and for leading us in the dance.

"There is within each one of us a potential for goodness beyond our imagining; for giving which seeks no reward; for listening without judgement; for loving unconditionally." Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
