What Intention Do You Rise With in the Morning?

September 6, 2022

Rise With Love and Gratitude

Welcome to all the new kindred spirits! Thank you for joining this journey of voice, creativity, & mindfulness. 

Thank you to the organizers from the Singing in Love fest this past weekend, for creating the first of many annual events on the East Coast.

Here’s an Instagram reel of a beautiful moment from the gathering. 

I was leading the crowd in singing one of my morning mantras, Rise.  

You can hear the full version here.

Do you wake up and immediately reach for your phone, lament the weather, curse your alarm clock? 

Do you awaken with conscious intention to experience a fulfilling day? To create a fulfilling day? To lovingly craft your day from a state of presence, of clarity, of joy?

If you found your way to this newsletter, you’re passionate about using your voice to affirm and amplify your intentions – and to alchemize your fear-based projections (shame, worry, regret, etc) – toward results that serve your highest good. 

Let me support you on your path of clearing energy blockages and nourishing your soul’s essence through vocal empowerment. 

You can sign up to work with me online in private sessions, or bring me to your local festival, school, cultural arts center, home! I give workshops, interactive performances, and keynote speeches grounded in the intersections of:

  • creativity and vocal play
  • intra / interpersonal connection and community-building
  • spiritual consciousness, mindset, and mindfulness practices

Email me at lushtongue@gmail.com and let’s set up an event.


My work serves holistic-oriented women committed to moving beyond fear and emotional stuckness to voice their truth, expressive arts enthusiasts whose souls are deeply nourished by community vocal rituals, spiritual eclectics who embrace wisdom from a wide variety of sources, or some combination of these.

Through structured group improvisation and vocal embodiment practices, I facilitate sound healing sessions, workshops, private vocal empowerment coaching, retreats, and concerts that “a-ha!” you to new levels of self-discovery, emotional freedom, joy and creative flow. I am a partner artist at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute as a core member of the vocal improvisation ensemble, Moving Star.
