British musician and tonal chanter who uses music and voice to heal-

From 1970 onwards she worked with many spiritual teachers, as well as American Indians and Shamans from different traditions. She studied Dzogchen in Tibetan Buddhism for thirty-five years. Between 1971 and 1974 she divided her time between Kürten, Germany - working and traveling with the German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen - and London, writing her book The Mystic Spiral: Journey of the Soul (1974), and lecturing and giving workshops on both the spiral and on sound and voice in the UK, USA, Holland, Germany, France, Japan, India, Canada and in institutions all over the world, where she has pioneered voice and overtone chanting workshops for forty years. 

 

In the last few years she has been invited to work with nuns and monks in a number of enclosed Christian Monastic Communities who sing Gregorian Chant, to teach overtone chanting and other methods to help them find ways to re-invigorate and rediscover the meditative power of chant. As a result of this, a number of these communities have now started using overtone chanting as part of their meditation. She is an internationally sought after speaker and workshop presenter as well as teaching in universities, colleges, schools, hospitals, international conferences and centres and in the corporate sector, and has appeared on numerous TV and radio programmes in the UK, Europe and the USA. She lives in Hampstead, in London, England with her husband, the biologist Rupert Sheldrake and their two sons.
