Most of us use our voices frequently -- to communicate, to express, to comfort, to laugh out loud, to sing or to make sound. And yet ... how often do we actually think about how our voices work? Do we ever just sit back and marvel at this incredible and unique gift of voice that does so much for us? Do we ever appreciate, love and thank our voices for all that they do? Do we have a good relationship with this miraculous and essential part of ourselves? Do we appreciate the special qualities that make our voice uniquely ours, or do we judge, criticize, feel bad or insecure about the way we sound? Does your voice flow freely when you want to speak up in a group or to those in positions of authority? Or does your throat tighten up and constrict your voice? Do we even know how to take care of our voices and our vocal cords?
In this interactive and experiential presentation, I will share my own ongoing journey towards developing a healthy relationship with my own voice and how I learned to re-connect my body, breath and voice. There will be opportunities to explore and experience more about how your voice works and what you can do to care for and strengthen your voice and your vocal cords. You will learn some fun, gentle and very healing breathing and vocal exercises that may help with developing and freeing your voice in some possibly unexpected ways. You will learn ways of experiencing the voice and the breath from a deeper, more supported place in the body.
