The Universe is alive with gifts, and just the right one is waiting for you! In the rush of our daily lives we often miss these messages from a deeper place and though we race to the gym and exercise our bodies, the muscles of our intuition, have been sorely neglected. The more you slow down and listen and the more you play, the stronger these muscles become. At Geryunant you will have all the time and space you need to listen and play. Together in a small non threatening group,a right and wrong free zone, you will play with words, images, music, and animation to effortlessly and joyfully unpack the goodies waiting for you.
We are four sisters who come from all around the world, and each though far away has followed a path of using the arts to bring themselves and others more fully alive! Come write with Louise, draw with Helen, sing with Suzy, and put it all together in an animated film with Janie. We celebrate the legacy and continue the path of our Mother, Isabel, and Father, Maurice.

Suzy Hawes, I am a composer and musical director, a singer-songwriter and a performer, drawing on a musical career spanning (eek!) over 40 years. After study with Guitarcraft ( created by Robert Fripp), Isabella Bates, Ruth Weimar and Gisella Rohmert, I have begun to develop my own workshops which celebrate sound as a means of contacting our energetic and instinctive selves, and of delighting in our lives.(http:// suzyhawes.blogspot.com/ , http://journeybandnz.googlepages.com).

I am composing music for “Plato’s Cave” an animated short film by Jane Hawes.
I am co-planning “The Four Sisters Workshop”. This will be an opportunity to use creative writing, painting, drawing, animation, movement and music, as tools for personal growth - to take risks - to search further.
