Healing your relationship with your voice and communuication
Voicework and Movement Medicine
This course is specifically for working reclaiming your voice from places where you feel you lose your voice. Both present and past situations that may be affecting your communication. Expect a support environment in which to sound, move, sing and speak. No dance/ or singing experience needed!
We all have moments in time where we feel we lose our voice, current situations where communication feels hard. We will be exploring some simple voice and movement tools to support your voice and communication in these situations. We will also take time to look at past moments that may be related to the present, where you lost your voice. Expect to feel nourished and supported to move forwards with more confidence in your communication and expression.
Expect to move, sound, free sing, no need to have any experience, but do be aware this work is emotive at times and although therapeutic in nature, is not therapy.

• Weekly inter-session guides to explore and inquire into your relationship to your voice and how you express yourself in the world.
