OM Sound and Spirit The project aims, over a 4-5 month period, to take a group of up to 15 people through a focused programme, developing their creative abilities and self-awareness, leading to a final music-based performance. Participants are chosen mainly through various referral agencies in North London, with self-referrals possible. The profile of participants is of being ‘left behind’ by normal services but, at the same time, fully able to participate and therefore gain the full benefits of the programme, to discover ‘wholeness and meaning’. The programme addresses the issue of “how poorly conventional services incorporate creative and spiritual dimensions of healing.” Both facilitators, a music therapist and a yoga therapist, have a background in mental health. The programme includes group, pair, and one-to-one work. Beneficiaries: Up to 15 people.
