About

A space to discover the pleasure of singing together and becoming part of a sound larger than your own. Through a varied polyphonic repertoire, we explore listening, rhythm, harmony and the meeting of voices. No previous singing experience is required: the choir is a place to learn, develop your ear, explore your voice, and experience that rather magical moment when many individual voices begin to sound as one.

More about this program

I have little or no experience with singing. Can I come try out the class?
Of course. This class is open to everyone, regardless of experience, and offers a supportive environment where you can discover the joy of singing together. Come take a trial class, and feel free to share any concerns you may have with the instructor!
Is there anything in particular I need to plan for?
You don't need to bring anything with you. Comfortable clothing is always better for connecting with your breath while singing.
I want to come, but I'm afraid to feel silly.
Don't worry—in this class, you'll be gently guided to explore the joy of sound through play, to discover the sometimes unexpected possibilities of your voice, and, above all, to share this experience with others in a friendly, nonjudgmental atmosphere!

General

What is Forest Lighthouse?

Forest Lighthouse is a centre for somatic and neurosomatic education in Brussels. We explore embodied learning through movement, perception, cognition, and emotional awareness. Our aim is to create the right conditions for learning so each person can discover and develop their abilities through direct experience.

What kinds of classes and trainings do you offer?

We organise workshops, regular classes, private sessions, and professional training programmes. These activities explore different approaches to embodied learning and movement, often with internationally recognised teachers and practitioners.

Who are the events and activities for?

Most activities are open to beginners unless stated otherwise. Somatic education is not about performance or flexibility. It is about learning through attention and exploration, at your own pace. If you have an injury or a particular condition, please let us know in advance.
