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?

• Concentration and Imagination games

• Seeing your creative project or vision as “already done” – playing with Time

• Improvisation:  spontaneity as the antidote to over-thinking

• Meet an inner ‘spirit-guide’ who unblocks your unique creativity

2)  The Voice & Spirituality Experience

​

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
