- A Brief Description of Jill :
- JILL PURCE pioneered the international
- sound healing movement through her rediscovery
- of ancient vocal techniques, the power of
- group chant, and the spiritual potential of
- the voice as a magical instrument for healing
- and meditation, and introduced
- Overtone Chanting and other
- Healing Voice Workshops
- into Europe, North America and Japan.
- Through her workshops, Inner Sound and Voice; The Healing Voice; Re-enchanting the World; Ritual Resonance - Healing The Family; and Ritual Resonance - Healing The Ancestors she has taught internationally for thirty years, teaching diverse forms of sacred chant, and especially Mongolian overtone chanting.
- She is the author of "The Mystic Spiral: Journey of the Soul" (Thames and Hudson, 1974) a book about the spiral and the evolution of consciousness in spiritual traditions, art and psychology, as well as numerous articles.
- From 1973, as General Editor for many years of her pioneering series "Art and Imagination", she produced over thirty beautifully illustrated books on Sacred Traditions, Art and Cosmology, published by Thames and Hudson, Seuil, Heibonsha
German composer, Karlheinz Stockausen says of her :
.- "Jill Purce is able to decipher the connections ... the vibration, the initial sound, which is like the stone in the water whose vibrations stilll reach us. Through her work, Jill Purce discovers the unifying qualities, the spiritual principles which are true throughout the universe and we constantly need these reminders that come through the voice and words, the books and the way of living of a few spirits amongst us who are messengers. She constantly reminds the majority of us who keep forgetting their eternal homeland."
