In this guest blog Virginia Schenck, vocal artist and tour leader for our upcoming Ireland journey, \u201cSacred Singing Journey of Ireland<\/a>\u201d, she reflects on the importance of listening to the inner voice of the world. She also examines the work of renowned spiritual singer and special guest on her upcoming Ireland journey, N\u00f3ir\u00edn N\u00ed Riain, and what it means to listen beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe longest trip you\u2019ll take is from your head to your heart,\u201d we often hear – but you have to listen along the way and keep listening!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been encouraging myself to listen so much more this year, with My Year of Listening focus. I want to dig deeper, uncover even more of the core of me. To honestly BE in this crazy world, let alone sing, it\u2019s the inner voice that I\u2019m after. I want to move people through my art, and to do that, I must be moved myself. If I\u2019m not moved, I\u2019m bored, an artistic restlessness sets in. That always leads me back to listening, listening, listening.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s next? A retreat, or a good deal of silence.<\/p>\n

I am no stranger to retreats, and as you all know, love leading them. The 2017 Winter Solstice Singing Journey Retreat based in NY was all centered on Sounding and Listening Within.<\/p>\n

My Irish friend, Noirin ni Riain, who guests with me on my Ireland Singing Journeys, has a marvelous book entitled Listening With the Ear of the<\/u> Heart<\/u><\/a> that I\u2019ve been rereading in preparation for October\u2019s trip. The title is her musician\u2019s spin on St Benedict\u2019s teachings to \u201clisten carefully\u2026and incline the ear of your heart\u201d. How else could I possibly listen to my heart\u2019s desire, the messages from my subconscious, or the angels whispering in my ear?<\/p>\n

\"\"
Practice listening near Glenstal Abbey as N\u00f3ir\u00edn N\u00ed Riain treats us to her homemade scones and we will learn everything from Sean-n\u00f3s singing, ritual chants, to the tradition of keening \u2013 the sonic grieving for the dead<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ireland\u2019s acclaimed spiritual singer, Noirin sings everything from classical music to Gregorian chant, traditional Irish sean nos singing to keening, the Irish wailing for the dead. She calls her work Theosony<\/u> – a combination of \u201ctheos\u201d = God, and \u201csonos\u201d = sound. Listening to the sound of God, or the universal in us all. She says:<\/p>\n

\u201cListen to the breath of God. Listen to Muhammad, Jesus, and Buddha.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t get caught up in the names.<\/p>\n

Listen beyond the names. Listen to the Breath of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"
The remarkable Cliffs of Moher, this fantasitic sight is sure to heighten your senses! Make sure to listen as well as look!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Noirin and my Irish friends would call this listening to the anam chara<\/em>, or soul friend.<\/p>\n

In India, this inner hum of life is Nada<\/em>, \u201cthe life principle or creative breath of humanity that comes from vibrations that can only be heard from within.\u201d<\/p>\n

The great Irish writer, John O\u2019Donohue, encouraged Noirin while writing her thesis:<\/p>\n

\u201cAlways give yourself the opportunity of silence\u2026Every single sound has silence beside, behind, before and within it. Begin now to develop what I sense is your unique listening\u00a0 blessing in order to hear the silent song of your own wild spirit<\/u><\/em><\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s calling you? Are you Listening? Can you hear it?<\/p>\n

Are you giving yourself space and time for Listening?<\/p>\n

The Silent song of my Wild spirit that draws me to the rocks of Ireland, waves crashing on the Atlantic east coast, and sparrows singing on the hilltops of Italy is calling me to get quiet, chill out, be playful and \u201cgrow hairy, fanged, and clawed,\u201d as I say in my poem \u201cHowl at the Moon\u201d.<\/p>\n

July will find me seeking the wind blowing though my hair. How about you?<\/p>\n

\u201cTell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?\u201d<\/p>\n

– Mary Oliver, \u201cThe Summer Day\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are you listening?<\/h2>\n

Digging deep within history, time and place, embracing, learning, and creating anew, may we bring our best voices forward. In this way, we make every moment Sacred. Every song is Sacred, every moment Sacred. Listen, and listen deeply, we will. Silence is as much a part of music as the notes and sounds themselves. The inner singing must come out for our health\u2019s sake. Then there are the sounds around us of our environment, our families, friends, neighbours. Listening both within and without, we will invite the sounds of Ireland to inspire us.<\/p>\n

In October 2018, we invite you to join vocal artist Virginia Schenck, with special guest, Ireland\u2019s celebrated spiritual singer, N\u00f3ir\u00edn N\u00ed Riain, to explore the voices, sounds, and sacred sites of Ireland<\/a>. All singers and listeners welcome!<\/p>\n

Let Ireland inspire you, listening and learning from her indigenous voices and exploring and joining with our own voices in this mystical, music-filled land. From the iconic neolithic and Celtic site of Newgrange, the hills of Slane and Tara, the Cliffs of Moher, W.B. Yeats\u2019 Isle of Innisfree and the Holy Island, goddess Maeve\u2019s cairn and Carrowmore, the largest megalithic complex in Ireland, to hidden gems of Glenstal Abbey and Lough Gur\u2019s largest stone circle, listen and sing. Learning traditional Sean-n\u00f3s songs, ritual songs, chants, and vocal exploration and improvisation, let Ireland inspire you and your voice to a richer relationship with your own sacredness and that of Sacred Earth.<\/p>\n

Are you ready to listen and to sing the inner song?<\/p>\n
