SOUNDING: HUDSON VALLEY
Save the Date! I will be facilitating a much-anticipated Hudson Valley edition of Sounding on Sunday October 31 at 2pm, courtesy of Marbletown Multi-Arts Center and the Hudson Valley Vocal Improv Collective. We will breathe, move, and sing outdoors as we explore a variety of collective vocal practices, including the spontaneously composed choral form known as “circlesinging.” More details coming in the next newsletter!
Enjoy my most recent audio, Fire: Musing and Guided Meditation. Keep a journal handy for the “burning” questions at the end.
Be sure to give a 5 star rating for the meditation, and like and follow my Insight Timer page to get in-app notifications about upcoming meditation recordings and classes. Don’t have the app on your phone? Download Insight Timer here!
Voke 1:1 – Six Session Series
For those of who cannot join me in person for an event but would love to work in-depth one on one, sign up here for the Voke 1:1 – Six Session Series.
Have you ever struggled with your self-expression skills feeling like a battleground, and wishing it could be more like a playground? Have you had experiences where you’re afraid to speak up, and by the time you summon the courage to do so, the moment has already passed? Do you experience anxiety around expressing yourself? Do you shut down? Does your throat tighten up when you’re in the midst of a difficult conversation?
If so, you’re at the right place to free your voice! I love designing and facilitating experiences for people to clear energetic blockages using the power of creative vocal expression – improvisation, chants, mantras and more.
Your time is NOW to reclaim your voice, and practice expressing yourself with clarity and power and PRESENCE. And you get to do it through PLAY! Singing, journaling, breathwork, somatic awareness, rescripting, all these tools serve to lighten your psychic load, liberate your expression, and make communication FUN again!
