Fireside Vocal Activation for Men
Advertisement
A creatively held safe space for men to explore vocal resonance, creativity, and deep connection beyond words, through sound, rhythms, somatic practices, movement, and singing.
These sessions will take place around the Sacred Fire 🪵🔥 (indoor option available).
----------------
This is a space for men to reconnect, around the fireside, with their voices in a way that goes beyond speaking. 🎶
Unlike many men’s groups that focus on verbal sharing, this experience offers a non-verbal approach to connection and self-expression, using sound, vibration, and deep listening 👂💓🎶 to create deepened connection and bonding between participants.
Through playful vocal exercises and games, drawing from collaborative vocal improvisation, resonance work, and musical exploration, participants will dive into the creative and emotional potential of their voices.
The session will weave together techniques from:
🌬️ Somatic relaxation
🌍 Global vocal traditions
🕉️ Group chanting
🔄 Looped soundscapes

🔥 Fireside time and ritual, movement, and other artistic practices will also tools for the session. The energy of the group will shape the session, making each experience unique and co-created

No prior singing experience is needed 🙌—just a willingness to explore, play, and connect 💛🎵
------------------------
Drawing from Francesco’s life passion, sessions will also include a central Sacred Fire 🔥 and some Firekeeping teachings if there is interest
