In the latest episode, I go into a root chakra meditation for all of us who have experienced uprooting and upheaval throughout this deeply transformative year. I have relocated from NYC to the beautiful midwestern state of Michigan. For the first time ever, I drove to my favorite supermarket, Trader Joes, and instead of brownstones and malls and auto body shops, the scenery was endless grass and trees and farms. I’m loving this combination of peace and quietude, plus the urban proximity to Detroit, Ann Arbor and (once borders re-open) Toronto. I’m excited for what 2021 will bring from the seeds I’m planting now. What seeds are you planting? What is helping you feel grounded?
2. Onome’s Offerings on Outschool!
For those of you who are looking for more online opportunities for your children to access the power and beauty of their voices, I am now offering classes for kids on Outschool!
For students who are new to singing, I am offering The FUNdamentals of Singing, an ongoing workshop to learn the basics of breath, resonance, pitch accuracy, and more. I also recently introduced Create and Sing Positive Affirmations to Build Self-Esteem (Ages 9-13). And there will be more classes to come, so click the link below to follow my Outschool page, where I’ll post upcoming courses.

3. Soul Incites: Self-Development Book Club Discussion
The September book selection is The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks.
I’m hosting the next live discussion in my Facebook group, Soul Incites: Self-Development Book Club on Thursday, October 8 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.
