weekend workshops: Spiritsong Workshop

With Mary Elizabeth Wheeler and Arunima Orr

“In the space between breaths, apply sound to any wound and the wound heals.” —Naomi Shihab Nye

Discover a way of singing and listening that will transform your voice and your life. Spirit singing is a profound way of being together in community for the purpose of supporting each person's connection to the divine, and all that flows from that relationship into the world. We use the mediums of silence, tone, sound, chant, song, and movement, to come home to the power of the embodied voice. Through the practices of breath, presence, awareness and listening without judgment, we create a safe and sacred environment. To hear the power, beauty and truth of your own voice is an unforgettable revelation. All voices are welcome. Really.

In this class you will:

• Enjoy chanting, singing and toning in a group.
• Explore practices which open the body and the psyche to the free flow of energy in the speaking and singing voice.
• Find the connection to your inner most being through sound journeying.
• Enjoy improvising and creating with your voice.
• Be supported through self-doubt and judgment to a new experience of yourself and your voice.

Mary Elizabeth Wheeler, founder of Spirit Song Institute, has taught at Omega Institute, Paul Winter’s Music Village, and Interface.
