Welcome to the first 2018 Edition of the Sound Travels Sound Forum newsletter.
We at Sound Travels would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year.
As you will be aware Sound is a hugely growing phenomena. It's even going mainstream. If you haven't seen it yet

 Andrew Hodges - "Festival Overture" - What Sound Healing Did For Me...
any of us struggle to find the time and the opportunity to be able to do what we truly WANT to do. Indeed it often takes much more than a bit of time and a little space.

Finding your own voice takes on new meaning if you begin to consider the possibility that the sounds of your voice may be a holographic representation of all that you are.

also each day, but also significantly in our lives...more
