Cornish Sing Therapy Workshop
"Kana Lowen"
Mousehole, near Penzance, Cornwall.
A heart-warming day of vocal wellbeing.
“Kana Lowen” means *happy singing* in the Cornish language.
Singing is good for you! Everyone deserves to experience the benefits - whatever stage you are at with your voice.
Join me for a friendly, relaxed day of singing, breath work and vocal wellbeing in the heart of Mousehole, the Cornish fishing village close to where I grew up.
Who is it for?
This gentle Sing Therapy™ retreat is open to adults of all stages: nervous beginners, “I can’t sing” people, confident voices and the quietly curious alike.
You do not need musical experience and nobody will be put on the spot.
What will we do?
Through relaxation, calming breath work, easy vocal exercises and playful group singing, we’ll explore the voice in a way that feels supportive, freeing, and enjoyable.
Expect laughter, connection and a refreshing break from the pressures of everyday life.
The workshop runs from 10am–4pm and includes refreshment and lunch breaks.
The venue
In the heart of this beautiful harbour village, just moments from the sea, cafes, galleries, and winding lanes of Mousehole. Built in memory of the Penlee lifeboat crew who lost their lives in the 1981 rescue disaster, it remains a deeply loved local landmark and a place of warmth, community, and remembrance.
Whether you long to sing more freely, reconnect with your confidence, or simply spend a nourishing day by the sea, you’ll be very welcome
Refreshments
A simple, nourishing light lunch will be provided.
Food will be easy to enjoy either at the venue or outdoors by the nearby harbour during the lunch break, for anyone wishing to make the most of Mousehole’s beautiful surroundings.
The choices will be confirmed closer to the event by the chef, but is likely to consist of local-style savoury options such as Cornish pasties or freshly prepared sandwiches.
Tea, coffee, soft drinks, and light refreshments will also be available during the morning and afternoon breaks.
* There will be limited additional spaces for 1:1 coaching the next day, by arrangement.

Mousehole is close to Penzance, the final stop on the Great Western Railway line from London Paddington. The journey takes approximately 5½ hours and is one of the most beautiful rail journeys in the country. There is also a sleeper service from London.
From Penzance station:

direct buses run to Mousehole
