The Primal Voice: A workshop to connect to your voice, your rage, your e®otic expression and song.
Before humans spoke, we sang. This powerful, primal connection to our soul and our sense-uality has been muted by modern culture, but not erased. Come remember your wildness and power through one of the most ancient of human technologies: your voice.
You will discover just how versatile an instrument you have as you learn techniques and practices to express what is often deeper than words. We will move, sing, grieve, rage, play, and connect to love and our senses (se(x)nsuality) through our voices.
The workshop will start with a short embodiment session by Earth Goddess Yoga creator, Koreen V. Incorporating a Chair Dance flow into rhythmic intuitive, and breathy Eath Goddess Movement medicine.
We’ll then tune into our voices and breathe, connecting to the pleasure of making sound, and practice some simple vocal techniques.
Topics covered includes Primal E®otic Expression as well as uncovering how the voice is stifled and throat chakra can be blocked. Know the power of release through voice.
What to expect: circle of voices, no need to know how to sing, just a desire to express, process emotion with voice, and enjoy the power and beauty of a chorus of voices, in all their unique glory. Feel your powerful primal self, throat chakra unlocked, rediscover or ease into feeling confident in your voice. .
There will be a break with provided tea, snacks, and discussion. Feel free to bring your own lunch or snacks to share. Join us and discover the power of your voice, re-wild its expression, and experience your primal and communal belonging.
