Can you sing, strum, blow, drum or hum?

I'm looking for 12 people who can't to growl in the background and for 12 people who can and a few people who play instruments to join in creating an Album of Chants to promote our school and raise some money for Capital Radio's charity Help a London Child.

We'll be chanting everyone's favourite - Gayatri Mantra, the Mexican Om, and others such as We All Come from the Goddess, Om Nama Shivaya, Shakti Kundalini, Truth Simplicity and Love, Shiva O, Om Mane Padme Hum etc. (You don't have to know the words - there'll be cue-cards and practice!) The Album should be available as a download within a few days.
Our PR Consultant Marta Antunes received this message from Chloe Herbert at Capital Radio:
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for everything you and the Zen School of Shiatsu do for Help a London Child. It really is with people and organisations like you that Help a London Child are able to carry on the work we do for disadvantaged children and young people in the Capital. You really are helping to make a difference and your support is very much appreciated."

Your name will be on the album which is scheduled to be recorded at the Zen School of Shiatsu 68 Great Eastern Street London EC2 on Saturday 1st March starting at 5.30 pm. It shouldn't go much later than 8.30 pm. Interested? email Marta

Taoist Training
starts up again on the weekend 8th and 9th March, 10am to 5pm, with Step 1 of the Foundations of Taoist Practice Step 1 is of course pre-requisite for later Steps, including the Summer Retreat in August - Steps 2 and 3. With a few enrolments already it may well be worth your while to think about that if you intend to develop your practice (while having a lot of fun). Last year places filled up quickly and we had to turn people away. This year we have hired a bigger venue in Dorset. Nevertheless....

Master Mantak Chia is planning changes to his system which I will keep you informed about but let me reassure you that the London Tao Centre will continue to keep our training accessible, affordable and structure simple. A new module, Taoist Shamanic Healing, combining advanced Fusion practices with Cosmic Healing, replaces Cosmic Healing as a pre-requisite for Step 5 and replaces Chi Nei Tsang as a requirement for Step 8. I'm still writing the manual but take a note of the first course: October 24th to 27th, Friday through Monday. There are no pre-requisites although if you have done Fusion (Step 3) by then you will find it helpful.
The web site info will be updated soon.
We will also be giving Certificates of Attendance for courses.

Master Chia has asked me to find out what you would like him to teach on his next visit in November so please - click reply and let me know your requests or suggestions,. Stem Cell Rejuvenation sounds interesting and Tao Yin could be exciting...what do you think? Click with your suggestions or requests.
