Hello friends,
I don't know where the time goes, but here we are, nearly two weeks into the Edinburgh Fringe, schools going back and the early signs of Autumn are in the air. I hope this finds you well.
There are a few things I’m excited to share with you — my new journey into Biofield Tuning, some news from the Lismore Dance Band, and bookings for my 2027 Lismore Fiddle Retreats are now open!
For most of my life, I’ve worked with sound. I’ve played it, sung it, listened to it, taught it, performed it and explored what happens when sound enters a room — and what it does to us.
I’ve also carried a lifelong curiosity about sound and healing.
That curiosity has recently taken me somewhere new. I’ve trained as a Biofield Tuning practitioner, working with precision-calibrated tuning forks and the body’s electromagnetic field.
It’s a fascinating meeting point between sound, vibration, the nervous system and deep relaxation — and it feels like a very natural next step in my journey with sound.
One of the questions I’m often asked is: “But what actually happens?”
The truth is, everyone experiences it differently. But I thought I’d share what one person said after a session:
“I can’t recommend Mairi highly enough. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease. She creates such a warm, welcoming space that you instantly feel supported. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the session helped me slow down, release what I’d been carrying, and reconnect with myself.”
I’m now offering private Biofield Tuning sessions, both in person and remotely.
If you’re curious about what this might be like, I’d love to hear from you. To find out more at mairicampbell.scot/biofield-tuning
Sessions last between 45–60 minutes | £65

I’m delighted to let you know that bookings are now open for my 2027 Lismore Fiddle Retreats. Come and spend a few days immersed in tunes, playing, listening and sharing music — with plenty of time to breathe, wander and enjoy the magic of Lismore.
Whether you’re an experienced player or still finding your way around the fiddle, these retreats are about developing your playing, discovering new tunes and rhythms, and finding more freedom and confidence in your music.
“It was a challenging but fun time with the right ‘space’ for personal growth and connection in all ways: skills development, musicality, knowledge and technique, harmonising with the natural world- it felt like a spiritual journey – quite special.”
“It really delves into what it means to make music with others. I think a lot of us adult learners tend to focus on the technique required to achieve a certain sound, but take a long time to make any kind of emotional connection, to turn it from ‘notes in the right order’ to a form of communication.“
There are three retreats to choose from, with places limited to 10.
Come and join us on Lismore!
