Thank you all so much for joining me last night on the Facebook Live for my first ever “Lush Tongue: Sound Meditation, Improv and Musings”! I have fixed the sound issues so it will be an even smoother experience going forward. Given your enthusiastic response, I will go ahead and offer it every day this week at different times of the day, so that different people from different regions / time zones of the world will have an opportunity to tune in live.
I’ll share sound meditation practices, improvise with folks who call in, live loop, share a few songs. Let’s sing, release stress, get creative, share inspiration, have fun and heal each other!
Call-in number: 984-244-2094
Also, as a teaching artist for NYC public schools, my work there is suspended until further notice, so contributions are greatly appreciated, even if you are not available to tune in tonight. These links work best through a smartphone. Thank you!
2. Vocal Coaching
Speaking of online offerings, now would be a great opportunity to gift yourself a one-on-one Zoom lesson, on a Pay-What-You-Can sliding scale. Your literal voice serves as a powerful portal for your symbolic voice in the world. Would you like to feel more grounded and confident in the dynamic capacities of your voice? Invest in a session with me. Clients leave my sessions feeling revitalized, inspired, more in touch with themselves, and a deeper understanding of what their voices can do. Here is more of what you all have to say about my courses and coaching. Thanks for your feedback! Email me at lushtongue@gmail.com to book a coaching session, or for a free 15 minute exploratory phone consultation.
