Huge well done to everyone who took part in the October voice workshop.
Thank you for braving to share and explore your voices, beliefs around the voice, your energies, and to letting loose and having a good 'ol sing!
It is always brave work sharing the voice... it is an area that holds a lot for most of us; past memories, blocks, health history, expression hopes and aims, energy flow... it was sweet to be able to share a little about the voice with you, and to feel the warmth and willingness in the space.
This workshop was a smorgasbord of voice work -
meditation
voice games
group sharing
beliefs around voice
voice warm-ups
voice range and fitness
group singing in harmony and in the round
subtle vagal-toning techniques
voice release and activation techniques
breathing with the diaphragm
connecting voice to the body
deep guided relaxation
I have worked 1-2-1 for 23years now, intuiting the what is called for to achieve wellbeing, improved energy flow, and expressive-release for individual singers, - a space that I am very at home working in. Yet, holding a group is a relatively new adventure for me, so I had the opportunity to 'take my own medicine' for this workshop; I naturally felt a nervous energy arise, and had the opportunity to 'care for the inner critic' and employ soothing poly-vagal techniques! This has provided the jewel of inspiration for the next workshop; looking at authentic expression, and soothing the nervous system. More to follow on this soon.
Such gratitude to all who took part... didn't we all do well!
Love & voice,
Jodie
