WHAT IS THIS RETREAT ABOUT?

In Voice Yoga’s dynamic group process, you go beyond your habits and expectations. Something larger than yourself emerges: a flow of hidden creative potential.

Grounded in physical exercise such as yoga and breathwork, we practise all kinds of sounds without meaning. We do not emphasize a beautiful singing voice either. We are looking for pure, direct expressions of physical resonance and vibration through mouth, limbs, hips, feet, skin and inner organs. Voice Yoga is grounded in the idea that many of us are often trapped in body-mind dualities and many other dualities. We look to go beyond these dualities; to dissolve the many lines we draw around everything and make them permeable. To accept that rigidity is often there and has its function, but to strive for more fluidity. In these moments, when things flow without a worry, we can experience great joy, like an innocent child.

PLACE

We hold our sessions in Shufang’s Energy Healing, a gorgeous yoga studio with a big garden in Dulan, Taidong. The studio has all utilities we need. We can use the big lawn outside for music and workouts in fresh air (weather permitting), a giant rock to repose, and shady places to rest.

There are several options for your overnight stay nearby, on a walking distance or further away. We are about a 10 minutes walk from downtown Dulan.

Accommodation:  Moonrise Inn is closest to the studio nearby.

nearby hostels that are popular with our students include  Tranquilo Hostel and On My Way Dulan Hostel 

∂þ 

FOR WHOM?

Despite the name, Voice Yoga is not a harsh or demanding yoga camp, quite the contrary: it lets you grow at your own pace and rest, sleep or observe when you want to. The workshop attracts young, curious artists; established musicians and performers facing creative obstacles or blockades; yoga and other body-mind workers not very familiar with sound; people familiar with sound but needing a fuller understanding and experience of it; people young and old looking for physical and spiritual renewal; practitioners of contemplative traditions like Buddhist meditation looking for wholesome, creative work in line with their existing practice; busy people needing a break from 9-5 work and seeking body-mind restoration in a relaxed atmosphere.

There are no specific requirements to join. Ages range from students in their 20s to retirees in their 70s. Yoga, music or other skills are not required. We strive for a group between 8 and 12 people.

∂þ

HOW TO PREPARE?

Bring a yoga mat to exercise and lie down. There are sitting cushions and also chairs if you cannot sit on the floor for long. Bring something to cover yourself when we repose or meditate. Bringing an instrument is a good idea (no need to play it well; a percussive instrument is always good).

KNOW MORE?

Mark’s Voice Yoga has been running for more than 15 years and brings together decades of creative, vocal expression, yogic discipline and contemplative traditions.

Voice Yoga is neither yoga as you see it all around you, nor music as you hear it every day or learn it in classes and workshops. It is a personal, artistic synthesis of a wide range of musical, resonant, theatrical, contemplative and physical arts. What binds them together is Mark’s unique synthesis and his vision to create a strong sense of flow, no matter what the activity is. Serious workouts smoothly blend with unforgettable, unrepeatable musical creations; deep breath work morphs into contact improv; vocal exercises into theatre; and so on.
This retreat will expand your vision, whether you are a musician, dancer, yoga teacher, actor, or just interested in working on your personal growth through the connections between sound, body and mind.

CURIOUS BUT IN DOUBT?

關於聲音瑜伽 療癒假期

在聲音瑜伽的動態團體過程中，你將超越自己的習慣和期望。看見比自我更廣大的自己開始甦醒: 那些隱藏著的創造力開始顯現，如河水般開始流動。

以瑜伽或呼吸法等身體練習為基礎，我們使用各種沒有意義和也不強調美麗歌聲的聲音。我們尋求透過嘴巴、四肢、臀部、雙腳、皮膚及內臟，來表達純粹、直接的身體共鳴與震動感受。聲音瑜伽的根基在於：我們許多人往往被困在身心二元對立，以及其他諸多二元對立之中。我們致力於超越這些二元對立；消融我們在萬物周圍劃下的種種界線，使其變得更通透。我們接受僵化往往存在且有其功能，但同時追求更大的流動性。在這些時刻，當萬物無憂無慮地流動時，我們便能像天真無邪的孩子般，體驗到無上的喜悅。

參加對象

儘管「聲音瑜珈」名稱聽起來嚴苛，但這並非一個要求嚴苛的瑜珈營，恰恰相反：它讓你能以自己的步調成長，並隨心所欲的休息、睡覺或安靜觀察。

這個工作坊吸引了年輕、充滿好奇心的藝術家；已經在創作中遇到困境或障礙的專業音樂家和表演者；對聲音不太熟悉的瑜伽和其他身心工作者；熟悉聲音但需要更深入了解和體驗的人；年輕和年長的人，尋求身體和精神的更新；佛教及其他靜觀傳統（如佛教禪修）的修行者，正在尋找符合其現有需求——即需要更深入的呼吸與誦經修習——的、有益且富有創造性的練習；忙碌的人們需要從朝九晚五的工作中抽身休息，並在輕鬆的氛圍中恢復身心。

參加工作坊無需特定要求。年齡從20多歲的學生到約75歲退休者不等。不需要瑜伽、音樂或其他技能。我們希望參加的人數在8到12人之間。

∂þ

如何準備？ 

請攜帶瑜伽墊用於運動和躺下。如果您不能長時間坐在地板上，我們提供坐墊和椅子。當我們休息或冥想時，請攜帶東西蓋住自己。攜帶樂器是個好主意（不需要演奏得很好；打擊樂器總是不錯的選擇）

想了解更多？

馬克的聲音瑜伽已實踐快超過15年，這個方法匯集了數十年的創造性、聲音表達、瑜伽修行和冥想傳統。

聲音瑜伽既不是你在四周看到的瑜伽，也不是你每天都聽到的音樂，或在其他工作坊與課程中學習到的。它是一種個人的、藝術性的綜合，融合了廣泛的音樂、共鳴、戲劇、冥想和身體藝術。它們的共同點是馬克的獨特綜合和他的願景，創造出一種強烈的流動感，無論活動是什麼。嚴肅的練習融入令人難以忘懷（無法重複！）的音樂創作中，深層呼吸法演變為接觸即興，聲音練習則變成劇場。

這個療癒假期將擴展你的視野，無論您是音樂家、舞者、瑜伽老師、演員，還是只是對通過聲音、身體和心靈之間的聯繫來工作於個人成長感興趣。

「在那個舒服的狀態，我不再很認真地想到底要給予什麼，那些東西就自己從我的裡面跑出來，很自然地流動。」——Gina

「先聽見自己身體裡面想說的話、想發出的聲音，再用自己的聲音把它發出來。這是我們都忘記了的一種表達方式。」——varie

 「不假掩飾、透明的感覺，不需要裝，每個人都很真實地在那個當下。比舒服還要厲害。」——Lova

聲音的共鳴　年度工作坊
2017 – 2018
探索人類聲音隱藏的淺能—用泛音跟新的音質來創造音樂; 以新的方式傾聽世界以及自己的聲音; 用自己的聲音作為轉變與進行更有效的表達的工具。

「透過呼吸與聆聽身體及環境中的共鳴我們展開一段不可思議的巡禮，發掘創新與治療的潛能。」
馬克．范．湯格鄰

「最令我們感動的是老師的帶領方式…不著痕跡、有洞見地、循序漸進、有創意、好玩且即時。滿心誠摯的感謝。」
Ｕna Kao

【自己，自己的聲音，與自己的存在】
要如何找到自己的聲音? 要怎麼做自己? 要如何不再做自己，而成為另一個人? 另一個你想成為的人?

要如何感覺自己整個存有共鳴，活著的，完整的……對自己的存在感到自在，可以在他人面前展現真正的自己? 和其他可以做自己的人相會；不用特別有禮貌或是維持外表的和諧?

在德蘇(Mark van Tongeren)的聲音的【共鳴】課程中，音樂—特別是人聲—會是幫助你達到以上目標的工具。探入你的靈魂深處，顛覆你的心思跟想法，甚至改變你的物質身體。把「一個人自身」不同的「部份」重新結合，化為一個能夠共振的整體；成為一個震動、脈搏和頻率的交響樂。

泛音演唱技巧是本門課的訓練基礎。泛音就像是你的聲音音色中，自成一格的小世界。你會浸淫於基礎泛音序列的音樂性聲音。我們會一次次的改變我們聆聽以及發聲的方式，以開啟泛音和泛音序列隱藏的層面。實際訓練方法將以帶實驗性和個人化的方式進行、使你能夠更自由地表達自我，運用你聲音中本自俱足的豐富音色。

《招收對象》
我們歡迎各種背景的人來參加【共鳴】課程。前學員有上班族、老師、藝術學校的學生跟創意工作者；也有電腦專家、瑜珈老師跟對聲音有障礙的人；也還有熱愛蒙古與圖瓦呼麥的男歌者，和受古典訓練的女高音。這個課程開立給任何對聲音的創造性有興趣；在生活中尋求平衡的現代人。不須任何音樂背景。不過，已經參加過幾個泛音課程的學生也還有很多可以學。如果你還在猶豫，歡迎聯繫我們來問問題。

【授課語言】
本門課老師以英語授課，你的中文翻譯，陳亮伃，會依照需求重點式或整段翻譯。

【收費、折扣、與優惠說明】
【共鳴】工作坊（十堂課）學費總計17,500 NT$。

講師：

德蘇（Mark van Tongeren）是一位聲音探險家，長期關注藝術與科學領域之間的協同作用。作為一位自學而成的音樂家，他參與多項戲劇、音樂與舞蹈製作和錄音。為荷蘭萊登大學表演藝術學博士。現任國立政治大學講師。
www.fusica.nl/biography

「與聲音同在為我帶來這麼多的喜悅。我在這裡找到我的自我。我應該要唱出來，為你而唱，讓你知道你帶給我有多少。」
新竹的Sky

「很喜歡聲音自由地、自發地流出的狀態。我雖是唱者，同時我也是聽者。我聽著聲音從我的口中流出～自然的流出～聲音是靈魂的語言，有些東西無法用語言和文字來表達。我覺得泛唱可以打開許多未知和不可知。」
三重的Amano

「這兩年接觸了聲音瑜伽和共鳴，老師的溫和及不急不徐，讓我願意嘗試，運用這個身體和聲音，可以打開一個更大的世界，而吵雜的噪音也可能變得有趣。只要用老師引導的方式，回到身體、進入呼吸之流，不費力的，緊張逐漸卸下。一旦人放鬆了，心也開始變得自由，遊戲本能甦醒，就讓自己的聲音成為聽見自己的陪伴。老師的無為而為又溫柔堅定的帶領，讓我碰觸對喉嚨和身體的緊縮，於是知道怎麼讓它再度打開。」
台北的Nancy

Explore the hidden dimensions of the human voice.
Make music with overtones and new timbres.
Listen to the world and to yourself with new ears.
Learn how to use your voice as a powerful tool for transformation and better communication.

By taking time to breathe and to listen to all the ways in which the body and the world resonates, we open up an amazing path of discovery and creative, therapeutic learning. – Mark van Tongeren

What impressed us is the way of your teaching … subtle, perceptual, respective, creative, fun and updated. Thank you sincerely. – Una Kao

YOU, YOUR VOICE, AND YOUR BEING
How to find your own voice? How to be who you are? How not to be who you are, but to become someone else? Someone you wish to be?

How to feel your whole being resonating, alive, complete …. to feel at ease with yourself, and to be completely YOU while in the presence of others? To meet others around you who can also be themselves, without acting nicely, or keeping up appearances?

In Mark van Tongeren’s R E S O N A N C E course, music, and most of all, the human voice, is the foremost instrument to achieve precisely that goal. To reach into the greatest depths of your soul, to stir your mind and your thinking, even to change your physical body. To bring all these disparate ‘parts’ of ‘a single self’ together in a fully resonating whole, a symphony of vibrations, pulses, frequencies.

The backbone of this training program is the overtone singing technique. Overtones are like a world of their own residing within the timbres of your voice. You will deeply immerse yourself in the fundamental harmonic laws of musical sound We will come back again and again to change the way we listen and vocalise, opening up to the hidden dimension of overtones, the harmonics that our voices and ears know well but our minds know not. In an experiential and personalised way you will learn to express yourself better, using a fuller range and spectrum of your voice.

FOR WHOM?
We have welcomed all kinds of people in the R e s o n a n c e course, from white-collar workers and school teachers to art students and creative professionals, from computer experts to yoga teachers and people with voice problems, from male afficionadoes of Mongolian and Tuvan khöömei to classically trained soprano’s.
This course is aimed at anyone with an interest in or sensitivity for sound as a creative principle. and those seeking more balance in their live.
No previous musical experience is required. For students who have already done one or more workshops of overtone singing there will still be plenty to learn. If you are in doubt, contact us with your questions.

LANGUAGE
The course will be mostly conducted in English. Your interpreter Sunny Chen will summarise or translate entire parts of the course into Mandarin, depending on the needs.

PRICES, DISCOUNTS and BENEFITS
The price per participant is 17.500 NT$ for ten classes. The following discounts apply (only one per person):
* Students and seniors with valid identity cards for the duration of the course: 25 %.
* Early birds: 15 % if you register before October 20. Extended to November 5!
* Payment in smaller increments is possible.

TESTIMONIALS
So much happiness and joy of being with you.
And it’s where I find ME.
I should sing it. Sing it for you.
To let you know how much you give me.
Sky from Hsinchu

I really enjoy sound flowing out freely and impulsively. Although I am the singer, I am also the listener, I hear sound coming out of my mouth, naturally flowing.
I feel sound is the language of the soul, something language cannot express.
I really wish to learn overtone singing.
I feel overtone singing opens up some unknown and unfathomable territories.
Amano from Hsinchu
