Intermediate Native American Flute Workshop This workshop is for people who already have a Native American flute and want to take the next step. At a certain point, playing can start to feel repetitive or a bit limited. This session is about moving past that and finding more flow, variation, and depth in your playing. We’ll keep things simple and practical, focusing on how to play in a way that feels more natural and expressive. You’ll be guided through: playing with others and finding your place in the sound listening and responding, rather than repeating patterns creating more space, variation, and flow in your playing drone flutes and deeper flutes handcrafted High Spirits Double Nova flutes (made in Arizona) These flutes add a second drone note underneath what you play, creating a fuller, more grounded sound. Many players are drawn to these deeper flutes for their slower, more immersive feel, helping you settle into the music without needing to learn anything complicated. You’ll have the chance to hear and try these during the session. A small number will also be available for purchase on the day. You’ll explore: Breath control, vibrato, and tone refinement Ornamentation and rhythmic variation Phrasing, tension and resolution Improvisational guidance and musical frameworks Creating melodies and simple song structures Playing with feeling, listening, and space Using the flute to support the nervous system Applying the flute in personal practice, musical expression, and in breathwork, yoga, and sound healing contexts Playing with others (drone and call & response) Playing with other instruments Through guided exercises and group playing, you’ll develop greater control, subtlety, and musical awareness.

It’ll be an opportunity to absorb the music with the breeze of the bush, the earth under your feet and the stars above. With a creek that borders where we’ll gather, and the warmth of the fires that we circle around, the time will be for connection with each other and that which breathes us. Having filled their cup at the Woodford Festival, Kooii will share the next phase of their music, further deepening their character into a sound that rides on a wealth of rhythm—songs seeded by singer-trumpeter Peter Hunt and given life by all the members, seeking and finding belonging in the heart-opening of music. The concert shall also feature Juman and the Riddum Squad as well as The Seeding; Juman, with her heart-open voice sailing through the many fields of her musical belonging, from RnB to Arabic and The Seeding, carrying the inspired vision and imaginings in song of keyboardist Conor Alexander and singer and lyricist Mia Bloom. Guests are welcome to camp on the night of the concert (Saturday 9th May), with the option of arriving early and staying on Friday 8th, and/or staying Sunday 10th as well. There will be several options for dinner and snacks available through the Chai n Vibes trailer, a food truck, and the camp kitchen. The creek‑side hot tub will be lovingly tended, its fire glowing softly welcoming you to retreat to its warmth under the stars at any time.
