Audio Meditation | Hanna Tuulikki: How to meet a seal
In this mediation, Hanna invites you to be transported to the mouth of the River Ythan in Aberdeenshire Scotland. A large colony of grey and common seals call out from the estuary banks. The sound of their calls are carried in the wind. \n\nHanna shares two traditional seal-calling songs, and teaches an extract from one of these which she works with in her seal calling improvisations. \n\nThis traditional Scottish Gaelic seal-calling song comes from the collection of Marjory Kennedy Fraser, an early twentieth century folklorist. It is a simple song created entirely from wordless sounds that imitate the grey seal's singing.
