About True Voice Workshop (Morning Session)
Grounding into the energy of Autumn, held in a sacred ritual way, this workshop invites us to open and explore all aspects of our voice with depth, authenticity, as well as light-hearted joy and playfulness.
We will explore a range of practices to open our voice and expression, from breath, somatic voice & primal sounds, learning songs, improvised song-play, and sharing in circle space. I am so excited to circle again in Neilufar’s special Blue Lotus Dojo with you!
True Voice comes out of following my own path to heal blocks, shame and wounding in my voice & expression, in order to emerge as a vocalist & performing artist. I offer back to others a pedagogy of embodied voice which I have honed for myself over the past twenty years of study with many excellent teachers and modalities, and direct relationship with my voice. I specifically seek to create spaces where the blocks & challenges around our voices are honored and worked through with love and curiosity, gentleness and compassion, so that we cultivate the joy & power of singing in our own unique way.
Every voice carries a sacred beauty and power. Our voices are channels of our authentic self in a way that strips us bare. At the heart of True Voice is a call to come home to our wholeness of self, trusting our felt-sense as wise guide. Vocalizing in front of others can be intimidating, but equally empowering, vitalizing and liberating. Singing, especially together, also releases states of bliss, heals us, and attunes us with each other and all of life.
If you have a voice you have a song.
About the Truth Mandala (Afternoon Session)
In response to these times and a collective need for held ritual spaces to move our grief, rage, and deeper emotions, Heather will be offering the Truth Mandala, developed by Joanna Macy, held within the foundations of True Voice. We will intentionally open and close the ritual container, and take time to integrate and ground ourselves before closing our full day together. We honor that going into our grief and intense emotion can sometimes feel intimidating, and yet, we also find that the expression and movement of these harder emotions through the body and voice, especially in heart-centered, communal ritual space, often opens a renewed vitality, lightness of being, and embodied connectedness.
Who is Heather Wolf (she/they)? What is True Voice?
Heather is passionate to support everyone's unique voice to come forth. Heather believes that singing is important folk wisdom which belongs to each of us, rooted in every one of our lineages and awaiting to be revived within us. She believes our voice is an integral part of our own power, magic & wellbeing.
True Voice comes out of following her own path to heal blocks, shame and wounding around her own voice & expression, to emerge as a singer, songwriter, & recording artist. She offers back to others what she has learned for herself over the past twenty years of study, exploration and growth. She specifically seeks to create spaces where the blocks & challenges around our voices are honored and worked through with love and curiosity, and the joy & power of singing in our own way can be cultivated.
Our voices are channels for life force energy, authenticity, healing and connection. Vocalizing in front of others can be intimidating at times, but singing, especially together, also releases states of bliss and good feelings in the body - it is deeply healing and vitalizing!
In this day together, we are looking forward to going deep, having fun, honoring our bodies, the living world, and connecting with each other.
