A Somatic Singing & Creative Expression Workshop

About this event
There is a version of you who isn't afraid to be seen, heard, or fully expressed.
A version of you who sings without questioning whether she's good enough. Who speaks her truth without shrinking. Who shares her gifts, takes courageous risks, and allows herself to be witnessed in the fullness of who she is.
But somewhere along the way, you may have learned to quiet your voice.
Maybe someone told you to SHHH.
Maybe you were laughed at when you sang, judged when you spoke, or taught that being too loud, emotional, or expressive was somehow too much.
And even though you've grown, dreamed, and evolved, you may still find yourself holding back from the very opportunities, relationships, and experiences your soul is calling you toward.
Because sometimes, knowing you're worthy of being heard isn't enough. You need to experience that worthiness inside your body.
UNMUTED is a 90-minute somatic singing and creative expression experience that combines singing, movement, storytelling, and expressive arts to help you explore the beliefs that have kept your voice small and discover new possibilities for your expression.
This isn't about having the most beautiful voice in the room. It's about discovering what becomes possible when you stop judging your expression and start allowing more of yourself to come through.
Through the exploration of your voice and body, you'll be invited to move beyond overthinking and into the joy, freedom, and courage of being fully expressed.
During our 90 minutes together, we'll explore:
🎤 Guided vocal embodiment practices — Singing, breath, sound, and movement to strengthen your connection to your voice and explore new possibilities for expression.
🦋 Somatic exploration of limiting beliefs — Discover where you've learned to shrink, silence, or censor yourself, and experiment with new ways of expressing what has been held back.
✍️ Embodied songwriting & poetry — Transform your discoveries into an original piece of writing, poetry, or song that gives voice to your truth, desires, and the woman you're becoming.
💕 Storytelling & community connection — Share your experiences of being muted in a supportive space where your story can be witnessed, celebrated, and honored. Sharing is always an invitation, never an obligation.
⚡️ Courageous expression & visibility practices — Explore what it feels like to take up space, use your voice more boldly, and allow yourself to be seen and heard.
You'll leave with:
🌸 A piece of embodied writing, poetry, or song that is entirely yours — A creative expression of your voice, your truth, and the possibilities you're ready to welcome into your life.
🦋 Greater awareness of the beliefs that have kept you muted — Along with embodied practices to help you challenge those beliefs and open yourself to new opportunities.
💕 The experience of being witnessed in community — A space to share your story, hear the stories of other women, and recognize that you are not alone in your journey toward fuller expression.
✨ A deeper connection to your highest vision — Through storytelling, visualization, and creative expression, you'll explore the woman you're becoming and what she is ready to bring into the world.
🎤 Practical tools to strengthen your voice and capacity for visibility — Vocal and movement techniques you can continue using to sing, speak, share, and express yourself with greater courage, freedom, and presence.
Who is UNMUTED for?
This experience is for the woman who feels there's MORE of her voice, creativity, and soul waiting to come through.
The singer who's ready to stop hiding her voice.
The entrepreneur who wants to speak, sell, and share her message with greater confidence.
The artist who's tired of waiting until she's "good enough" to be seen.
The facilitator, leader, or creative who knows her voice carries something meaningful.
And the woman who simply misses the feeling of singing freely, expressing boldly, and being unapologetically herself.
You do NOT need to be a professional singer. You do NOT need to know how to write songs or poetry.
You only need to feel the call to explore your voice and be willing to answer it.
Come as you are. Bring your voice, your curiosity, and your willingness to play.
Your voice was never meant to stay hidden.
