THIS!:

"If they can face the unknown and take risks sounding and singing, chances are they will eventually transfer this ability to the rest of their lives." (Diane Austin, Vocal Psychotherapy: Discovering yourself through the voice)
BOOM. Says it!

We just starting the "Sound and Silence: journey into your authentic voice" retreat this evening at the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist cultural center in Bloomington Indiana. So thrilled to be exploring this territory that has fascinated me for more than two decades. And in such a beautiful space! What a great group we have. Photos coming soon!

Dear friends,

I’m excited to invite you to a special offering: Authentic Voicework® – Yoga of the Voice on Saturday, JUNE 28, 7-8:30PM, at Nourishing Heart Yoga, 582 E Hillside Drive in Bloomington, Indiana.

This unique class blends gentle movement, breath, and sound to help you connect with your voice as a tool for relaxation, expression, and inner awareness. You’ll explore your voice as a barometer for your well-being, experience meditative singing, and learn how to develop a personal "yoga of the voice" practice.

No singing experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to explore! If you're craving deeper connection, embodiment, and inner calm, you will love this!

See you there!

Join me and Julian Douglas this Saturday, Feb 8 at 7PM at Nourishing Heart Yoga for Yoga of the Voice! This month, we will feature a guest artist - my looooooooong time music partner and collaborator, Julian Douglas, (of Rhythm Arise) percussionist, composer and teacher. Julian has been leading and bringing his special flare to drum circles and galvanizing communities for 30 years. While this is not a drum circle, we will treat this Yoga of the Voice as a "singing circle" that involves rhythmic phrases and cycles, as you would find in a drum circle. If you like drum circles, you might really LOVE this month's Yoga of the Voice circle!

In this deep winter phase, come up for air and stand by the "fire" of drumming, dancing and singing in sacred space with Yoga of the Voice! Move your body-mind-soul to tap into your creative wisdom, the music within through embodied voicework. Don't miss it! Join us 7-8:30 PM at Nourishing Heart Yoga! $22 Seats limited!
