“Narratives of non-violence, inclusion and healing. These are the narratives I aspire to in my work with healing, writing and music. I trained initially at Dartington College of Arts 1986-89 in Community Arts and N. Indian Classical Vocal performance. My Community Arts work took me into many and varied contexts and I developed a passion for inclusion, particularly inclusion in the production process (composing and improvising) of music. It always seemed to me that this Community Arts work was part of healing practice and I have since done training in hypnotherapy, mindfulness and Pain Reprocessing Therapy in order to broaden this healing in the body-mind. It almost goes without saying that inclusion and healing are acts of non-violence.” (Andrew Cheffings)
