Jill Purce (born 1947) is a British voice teacher, Family Constellations therapist, and author. Purce developed in the 1970s a new way of working with the voice, introducing the teaching worldwide of group overtone chanting, producing a single note whilst amplifying the vocal harmonics.〔(Documentary film on origins of overtone chanting 'Space-Sound-Voice—A quest for the Origin of Harmonics' or 'Raum-Klang-Stimme—Auf Der Such Nach dem Ursprung er Obertone'.

London: Faber and Faber, pp. 192–93.〕 Since the early 1970s she has taught internationally diverse forms of contemplative chant, and especially overtone chanting. For over fifteen years she has been leading Family Constellations combined with chant.〔Troughton, M. (2008). "Tried & Tested—Healing the Family Workshop". ''Psychologies'', p. 37.〕〔Mackay, N. (2009). ''The Science of Family: Working with Ancestral Patterns''. O Books, ix.〕 Purce is the author of ''The Mystic Spiral: Journey of the Soul'', a book about the spiral in sacred traditions, art and psychology, as well as numerous articles.〔(Purce, J. (1974). ''The Mystic Spiral'', London: Thames & Hudson. )〕 == Background == In a BBC documentary about Purce, ''More Ways than One: The Mystic Spiral'', she described how through contemplating the patterns in water she noticed that when flow encounters resistance, first it rotates, then these rotary patterns become individual eddies which separate out as independent forms. This observation of the form creating principal of flow, resistance, and rotation, became the basis of her research from 1968 to 1974 on the form of the spiral and the theme of the labyrinth in nature, science, art, psychology and sacred traditions.〔Kurtz, M.

John Wiley & Sons. p. 42.〕 Purce was born in Staffordshire, England. Educated at Headington School, Oxford, she graduated with a BA in Fine Art from University of Reading (1970), and a Masters from Chelsea College of Art, London (1970–71), and King's College London.〔 She was awarded a Leverhulme Research Fellowship at King's College London Biophysics Department, to explore the spiral as a universal structure.〔 Here she initiated a dialogue between science and spirituality with Maurice Wilkins (Nobel Laureate with Watson and Crick for the discovery of DNA), and lectured to the BSSRS (British Society for Social Responsibility in Science). Between 1974 and 1976 she lectured at the Architectural Association School of Architecture and Chelsea College of Art and Design and was a visiting lecturer at numerous universities and art schools, on art and sacred traditions; form and the spiral; and the tradition of music, sound and the voice as a contemplative practice in diverse cultures. Her work with the voice was a major impetus behind widespread research into the possible healing effects of sound from the 1970s onwards.〔〔〔(The International Sound Healing Conference, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, 2008. )〕〔Shapiro, E. & Shapiro, D.
