* Richard is EPIC. His sincerity and generosity of spirit, the kindness and caring that he transmits in his facilitation goes beyond the normal levels of “teacher” and into the realms of what a true “living” spirit guide is. I’ve tapped into something profound within me in taking his workshop & feel a bubbling in my universe that I know without a doubt signals an opening…to what I am not able to even put into words just yet! He has sparked some miracles in my universe and I am infinitely grateful. Aho Richard! Big blessings.

* What an incredible work we did! After the workshop I felt deeply blessed and honored with the wisdom that you passed! Your in-depth understanding, knowledge and sense of humor kept the energy in the room high all the time and I was being able to focus all my attention on the topic! The workshop itself was pretty intense and I wasn’t expecting to get so connected to the universe just through tour voices! After I started perceiving sound as a completely different phenomenon. I left the workshop with an intense feeling that some veil inside me has been lifted and couple of days after I got into very deep realizations about myself. This is to do with my sacral chakra and some imbalances which now after the workshop I see in a completely new light. Also I feel like I left with a powerful tool to use in my own personal journey and as a technique to use to heal others in my sessions.The power of the song! Thank you so much for bringing that into my life! OS April 2016
* I would like to say such a wonderful UPlifting workshop we had with Richard Down, on sharing his gifts/knowledge that has been passed on to him..Richard shares his teachings deeply from the heart, with humour and grace. I truly felt like I had a one to one healing within the group and yes, I felt things shifting from within..I am so happy and honoured and grateful that I attended the Icaros workshop, after much debate with myself! I am overwhelmed how pure the love Richard gives in his teachings and how i have walked away feeling lighter than light, clear and look forward to reap the rewards of practising and working with these amazing songs. AM April 2016
* The one day session we had was very special and has installed in me a deeper understanding of how the voice when used with clear and guided intention is so powerful. Chris 2019
*Richard Down was key person in my musical journey – the sound initiation I received from him was a really empowering experience and I can’t thank him enough – he is running an event on my doorstep (in Bristol) THIS SATURDAY! I am going to be there, and am excited for how this will bring me on in my journey Dr J Lovesey April 2019
*I’m feeling a massive shift since Richard sang the songs into me and today I’m starting to rearrange my life. I’m feeling empowered. The attunement was very powerful. I could feel the Madre plant spirit was very much alive inside me during these songs. I am so excited to be able to combine singing & healing together. The two things that I am really passionate about!
Singing the icaros takes you away completely from your usual way of singing. It pushes me right out of my comfort zone. But I like a challenge! Shaman Rachael April 2019
* I’m feeling a deeper and stronger resonance developing in my voice, and am now starting to move from the vowel sounds to meaningful words – singing to thank the land, singing to ask for our hearts to be strong.. It’s definitely shifting something in me, and I’m very grateful David April 2019
* Richard Down wish I could teleport to you for this. My voice has open significantly since I was with you last year!!! I found my light language. I sang some demons into integration. I saw someone soften and expand in front of me. So many things! I even hearI have loved working with the toning already now I have my board set up!…. it is bringing a whole new dimension to my vocalisation… it is amazing to have some meaning behind each of the sounds/tones, really excited how this will develop my voice and strengthen it!! Heart feels BLASTED open with this icaro moving in, through and all around me. I went to the beach to sing to the full moon two nights ago and it’s like my voice merged with the ocean…hard to explain – it was loud and soft and powerful somehow?!?! what happened to me!!! Venus London 2018
* I have loved working with the toning already now I have my board set up!…. it is bringing a whole new dimension to my vocalisation… it is amazing to have some meaning behind each of the sounds/tones, really excited how this will develop my voice and strengthen it!!
Iv’e been improvising the sounds vocable over some guitar chords and its like I finally have a direction with my voice…. wowww thank youuu Drew 2019
* Firstly thank you Richard Down . for all that you are doing for us with this work ??
* I am truly grateful for what our icaro initiation ceremony last May catalysed for me and for how my healer destiny ‘changed course’ as a result! Lisa shaman Manchester 2018
* Thank you Richard, lovely to be here! I have been journalling my experiences with the toning and sonidos; making notes of how i feel before and after, and am consistently amazed at the difference. So much more capacity for openness, trust, compassion… and now songs are slowly starting to come to me as I walk down the street.. magic indeed. Endless gratitude Cherry 2018
* Thank you Richard! Thank you so much for this really good workshop that really touched me! Giullaume London 2018
* I love doing it and I love seeing the progress. Now I can keep going for a very long time and feel like there is a singing bowl in my head, the sounds sound very powerful to me. I did it in front of my family back home in Poland and my dad could feel vibrations in his body. My family said they could never imagine me creating such sounds and my voice sounds non human ? I have shared it with my auntie who is suffering a lot now physically and mentally, she said she does it every day and it really calms her down, even my mum started to do it. I am so happy I could share it with my family. Also I am happy that I managed to keep going and it gives me more confidence that I can be consistent if I want to. And I started to sing a lot at home, I realised I actually don’t know many songs so just make stuff up most of the time and it makes me feel so good. I was always ashamed to sing with my ”horrible” voice but I am much more confident now! Marta London 2018
* You know the two days I spent working with you were incredible. You are a truly gifted individual, yet humble and encouraging as you teach. I used the word “enchanting” to sum up our short time spent together because you imparted so much to me. Your stories, humour, compassion, passion for your work and healing sealed within me an understanding that we are indeed alchemists, and as as such we can create the life we want if we follow our passion!!! We need to return to, and embrace the childlike curiosity that we once had. To approach our work and life with fevour and passion. When we offer healing.. “ we sing for another’s life!”. Thank you for imparting this wisdom. I continue practising the Icaros and vocally singing the the chakra sounds … loving it and having fun with this!!. Today has been a busy day but tonight I have time to I sit now and have some “me time to start integrating the past two days. My reflections begin with the memory of my healing at the top of our climb up the hill set in the beautiful moorlands, as you played the flute and sung the shipibo Icarus with conviction and power.. claiming back my power with forgiveness! so grateful … wow !!! Thank you Yvonne Birmingham 2018

Your host:
Richard is known for his work with healing song, sound healing and peace initiatives – the mainstay of his work singing plant spirit song and Shipibo Icaro healing song, sung to individuals and audiences for healing effect
Initiated into incantation shamanism via two powerful encounters with Shipibo Maestros in 2011 and later in 2013 Richard developed great ability with Icaro – said by some in indigenous Shipibo medicine circles as possessing ability akin to “Muraya” the top rank of incantation shaman –
Over the years Richard has developed a workshop training whereby he shares a way for most into their own healing song – a way to have healing effect through ones own healing voice and also the basis on which to build Icaro
The Training content:
- Attunement from Maestro Richard – Icaros to the group. Incantation for protection, incantation for ability
- Through sharings of encounters with the medicine healers and how they achieve healing effects through song Richard reveals the history, resources and character of the Icaro
- Instruction into the Chakras – introducing how to direct healing effect with song, working with “Puro Sonido” – pure sound
- Instruction into techniques – the use of intention, vocal overtone, vocables, cadence and love in producing healing song and Icaro
- Practical demonstration in group and pairs singing techniques and embracing the introduction to Icaro healing – this is putting all of it together (the fun bit!) the character of the song, intention, all techniques, Shipibo words/incantation, loving energy
- Sharing circle to conclude the day
- Ongoing encouragement: The purpose of this one day intensive is to get participants started on the journey to healing song – to immediately get people singing with healing effect. Maestro Richard will invite you to the closed FB group “Icaro healing song support and advanced training” A free platform to further encourage your growth with healing song, a place where you can also share with others working with Icaro and healing song

This intensive is for everyone – from facilitators, energy healers to people interested in song and vocal ability.
Although this may seem like a lot of information to absorb in one day you will find it naturally flows. This can be a profound gift for life.
“My ability to sing healing songs comes directly from the teacher plant spirits and help from maestro shaman friends of the Shipibo tribe in Peru, I sing in sound healing events and to people personally with profound effects… Let me show you, it will be my pleasure to pass on what I understand will help.”
