A collaboration together with Michelle & Odeya Nini. This will include components of our traditional sound ceremony with a focus on vocal embodiment work.
The Voice. Our vibration. Our sonic embrace. Our outstretched resonant limb of the soul. In a practice of vocal embodiment, the meeting point of invisible vibration and audible sound will be felt as the traveling energetic waves of the Voice. Invite the whole self to both leap outward in an act of release and swirl within like a clearing storm. May we exercise allowing our sound to transform us and become a vessel for its currents of Love.
The sound meditation ceremony is an integrated practice that combines western scientific, eastern philosophical and shamanic cultural influences. Specific musical instruments played during the meditation allow participants to use sound as a therapeutic tool to disconnect from discursive thinking and to delve into a transcendental state. The multi-sensory sonic journey combines breathwork, vocalization, live instrumentation, recorded music and gentle guidance to support access into an expanded state of conscious awareness. The safe and supported container invites the active listener to journey within and creating a refined awareness of the Self that lends to empowering positive cognitive change.
