September 22, 2020
Can you believe that there are now 100 days remaining in 2020? How are you engaging with life thus far? What are you out to create? Develop? Transform?
And what have been clearing from your life, your mind, your environment, that no longer serves you, to free up space for the fullness of your presence to flourish? Much like how a computer glitches and slows down when it carries too much data in its virtual storage bin – known as its cache – we humans are inclined to allow our psychic, emotional, energetic clutter to build up and fog up our focus. How do you clear your cache?
Meditation is a powerful practice that I use to clear that build-up. There are various forms of meditation to choose from, such as silent observation, contemplative inquiry, breathwork, mantras, visualization, counting, and various combinations of all of them. Want to learn more? Stay tuned to more episodes of Lush Tongue: Sound Meditation, Improv and Musings, which will soon be available on both Facebook and Youtube!

3. Soul Incites: Self-Development Book Club Discussion
The September book selection is Daring Greatly by Brené Brown.
I’m hosting the next live discussion in my Facebook group, Soul Incites: Self-Development Book Club on Thursday, September 24 at 8pm ET. Save the date! The recording will be posted in the private Facebook group so join today if you are a woman who loves books and personal development. Guys, spread the word to the women you love!
The purpose of Soul Incites: Self-development Book Club (SDBC) is to bring my extensive background as a teacher and workshop facilitator to the online sphere by providing a space where women can witness and support each other in our growth journeys by harnessing the wisdom of personal development texts. We are covering a diverse range of topics such as mindset transformation, energy work, money, relationships, clearing trauma, creating breakthroughs, specific self-development techniques and healing modalities, spiritual and metaphysical approaches to personal development, and more.
Who is Onome?
Onome is a vocalist, facilitator and interdisciplinary artist of Urhobo heritage in the Niger Delta. She incorporates improvisation into her practice as a tool to expand consciousness, creativity, and personal development. Through her audience-interactive performances, workshops and sound installations, Onome embodies joy, enchantment, and infinite possibility. She is a partner artist at Carnegie Hall as a core member of the vocal improvisation ensemble, Moving Star.
She has performed sound poetry at hundreds of venues nationally, recorded soundscapes for podcasts, and created vocal film scores. She received her MFA in Performance Studies at Pratt Institute. She is the artistic director for Lush Tongue, a vocal improvisation project where sound, creativity, self-discovery, connection, and joy converge through singing—via sound healing sessions, workshops, vocal coaching, retreats, and concerts. She leads Soul Incites, a women’s self-development book club. She got her start in spoken word poetry and opera via Nuyorican Poets Cafe and New York University, and now facilitates community vocal immersions at concert halls, conferences, galleries, museums, schools, cultural centers, shelters, prisons, parks, churches, wherever voices gather.

Love and gratitude,
Onome
