Speaker Bio: Reverend Simon Ruth de Voil is an ordained interfaith/interspiritual minister, trained to be a sacred presence outside the conventions of traditional religion. As a sacred musician, spiritual mentor and worship leader he incorporates chant, ritual, poetry, storytelling, and mindful practice to create a space for profound connection and sacred witness. Simon provides music for worship, ceremony, and prayer in a wide variety of churches and non-religious spiritual communities. He particularly loves to create music for meditation, healing services, and rites of passage. Simon is also an experienced workshop and retreat leader, drawing on 15 years of study, training, and practice that grew from his time living and working in Iona Abbey. Although influenced by many traditions, Simon's spiritual path and teaching is deeply rooted in Celtic Christianity, the wisdom of the earth, and in the Scottish land where he's spent most of his life.

Join us to explore the mystical legacies of music. Historically song has been understood as a force of creation, a pathway to connect with the sacred, and a mirror for our own holy longings.

Led by interspiritual minister and musician Simon de Voil–a modern day Celtic bard–we will use song, chant, visual prayer, and silence to explore themes of healing, connection with the earth, community, and sacred wisdom.
