  • Spirituality in Sound with Shannon Pearl is a new series of five workshops exploring sound and wellbeing.
  • Sessions include sound baths, drum circles, cacao ceremonies and more.
  • This series reflects The Glasshouse’s belief that music can support not just creativity, but also wellbeing by offering people new ways to connect with themselves and each other.

This autumn, a new series of workshops at The Glasshouse will explore how music can support emotional wellbeing. Spirituality in Sound, led by neo-folk artist Shannon Pearl, runs across five events from 2 November to 20 December. The series draws on her experience in music and healing, each session is designed to soothe the body and quiet the mind, offering new ways to experience sound as a source of connection.

The series opens on Sunday 2 November with Through the Elements: Sound Bath, where soundscapes echo the qualities of earth, air, fire and water.

On Friday 28 November, Drum Circle will create a connected ring of drumming and sacred chanting to encourage wellbeing, healing and self-expression.

In Healing Hz on Friday 5 December, instruments such as tuning forks, crystal bowls and the Shruti box, will be used to explore the power of vibration.

On Friday 12 DecemberSacred Cacao – A Heartfelt Journey brings to life the ancient ritual of a Sacred Cacao Ceremony. In this gentle gathering, participants will sip ceremonial-grade cacao and set intentions.

Rounding off the series on Friday 20 December is In Guided Meditation – With Aromatherapy for Deep Relaxation, combining healing aromas and guided meditation to support deep relaxation.

Shannon Pearl, a neo-folk/ witch-pop artist from the North East, leads the workshops. Inspired by nature and her pagan spirituality, she weaves sound and healing practice into experiences designed for anyone interested in exploring energy and wellbeing.

She said,

“I’m ecstatic about my collaboration with The Glasshouse. It means a great deal to me that such a prestigious venue is recognising the profound link between spirituality and sound. The connection I promote through all my work is at its apex in these workshops. Sharing them with new audiences and making this work accessible to all is amazing.”

The Glasshouse believes music is more than something to listen to – it’s something to experience, to feel and to share. Spirituality in Sound offers new ways for people to come together, explore wellbeing and connect through sound. These events are part of their ongoing commitment to creating spaces where music brings people closer to themselves and each other.
