In this 90 minute workshop, Kristen will guide you through songs, chants and vocal games to invigorate your spirit and share your Soul’s song with and in the presence of others. Uplifting and devotional songs are carefully curated and designed for a flow which includes:- tuning into the wisdom of your Breath
- discovering and honoring your Body as a divine instrument
- activating and strengthening your ears to improve intonation and how well you play with others
- tapping into the source of creativity and play within each of us
- harmonizing with others (whether you “know how” or not)
- using your voice to embody your prayers
- integration and an opportunity to share your experience
Come as you are. Bring water and a notebook (optional).
You’ll leave with:
- a heightened understanding of what you already know
- deeper awareness of your breath, voice & ears
- songs to sing with your friends and add to your devotional practice
Kristen excels at creating a warm and supportive container for EVERYONE. Songs are learned by Call & Response, no experience needed. Expect to feel moved as the spirit (literally, breath) flows through you; expect to feel challenged as you step out of your comfort zone and learn new skills and expect, above all, to have Fun.
Class times:
Thursdays, June 20, July 18, August 15, and September 19, 6:30-8pm. Come to all 4 or drop in!
