“I attended a workshop given by Mary in Basel and I felt as if I had been waiting for a long time for this kind of opportunity. Exploring the nature and the creative potential of our voice as Mary proposes to do it, without any performance expectation, has been very liberating and funny. This is a kind of journey that can bring us to touch some very deep and sometimes hidden places in our soul. That’s why it is a precious chance to be guided with such great expertise.
Although I knew Mary already, I’ve been impressed with her capacity to blend charisma and gentleness in order to facilitate the work, both individually and for the group. I especially value how she weaves together, in addition to the musical and vocal aspects, elements of bodywork, emotional work and even a kind of shamanic perspective. A few days after the workshop I was surprised to still feel my voice much more vibrant and full than usual. I can warmly encourage anyone to attend, especially if you’re interested in expanding your expression range and in playfully gaining awareness of the nuances of your own “inner music”.”

“With a smile, that’s how I go. Mary Jones’s Song of the Ancients workshop has that effect: gather the tribe to sing and move whatever is needed from the heartbeat of the earth and soul of silence. Thank you.” – M., Barcelona
“Creo que realmente es un vehículo directo a otro percepción, y al estado de meditación. Transformarse a traves de la voz. Sentir un silencio activo, un vacio vibrante. Sentirlo en el espacio que me rodea y por dentro. …me deja con el alma mas llena, y la idea de cuantas cosas me quedan por saber y explorar.” – C., Barcelona
“…a very revealing and powerful happening. It takes much sensitivity, experience and tact to guide a collective process like the one we experienced. I went through all kinds of feelings in the 3 days from connection to disconnection from isolation to community from past to future. In the end I felt a strong emotion of belonging to a very heterogeneous tribe and for a day after the emotional level was high… A very positive experience on the whole.” – M., Barcelona
“Absolutely loved the course Mary. Please can you make it a weekly program. I’ve done lots of yoga and similar practices but this guided me to a deeper sense of inner awareness.” – Michelle, Leura, Australia
“Thank you for the workshop. You were eloquent and centred and held the space beautifully. I really responded to the simple techniques and authentic observations you communicated, and the time you allowed us to experiment and play with the exercises. I would definitely come back to do more.” – Dr Nigel Glassey, Sydney, Australia
“Mary is a deeply earthed woman who facilitates her classes with grace and ease. With a diverse array of knowledge and practice she guides you within to places you may not have realised existed, supporting whole being. The use of voice and movement make her work easily accessible to the human body and promotes livelihood and connectedness. Her attention to mindfulness further holds space for you to go deep within and realise your true self where your greatest potential awaits. A very enjoyable class 🌝💙🌚”. – Gabriel de-Campo, Katoomba, Australia
