Workshops

1) Everyone is Creative

WHAT WE FOCUS ON

Meditation - to quiet your 'mind' chatter
Open Eye meditation with a partner - to develop the courage to be truly 'present'
Body awareness – your posture, breath and subtle energy
Reading the psychological meaning of physical gestures
Letting go of judging self and others - becoming trustworthy
Improve your listening skills and powers of observation
See, hear and touch anew – refresh your senses to inspire new perspectives
Prioritize your values – then put them in your creations
Recognizing your Highest Calling
The words you use - do they limit or liberate you?
How to call forth what you desire rather than what you DON’T desire
Releasing the need for approval from others - self-love vs Self-Love
What does your 'gut' say?
Coming from the heart – the power of vulnerability

* Questions that open vs questions that close you down

* Role-playing -- how did you develop a 'learned behavior' that blocks your freedom now?

A typical, two-day 'Experience' might go like this...

1) Group CHANTING -- to circulate our energy, center us in our 'Higher Self' and warm up the voice

2) Western SINGING warm-up -- breath, spinal alignment, pitch, resonance, articulation

Includes easy group improvisations, 'sound circles', collective composing, and other creative 'games'

4) Individual work to RELEASE BLOCKS and mannerisms that are specific to you -- working with a solo

song or a speech you have prepared prior to the workshop

5) MOVEMENT improvisations playing with the 4 elements and the 4 cardinal emotions

6) Telling the STORY of YOUR LIFE in terms of the 3 - 5 most important EMOTIONAL events; telling the story

of your life in 5 drawings

7) LEARNED BEHAVIOR - an exercise using abstract sound and movement that reveals how you learned

something you do currently

8) Working with objects as PUPPETS to tell a personal story

9) THE TALKING STICK: SPEAKING YOUR TRUTH to a group

10) TONING to HEAL SELF and OTHERS - practicing psychic/intuitive receiving of information from the Self,

the collective wisdom, the 'Goddess' or 'God' of your understanding

11) Manifestation Circle -- How to use your Voice to 'conjure' desired experiences
