VOICING YOUR BODY  workshops are open for everyone interested in creative self-expression and deeper self-knowledge. On the workshop we release our voice and body from their habitual ways of expressing, to become sensitive and curious again. We deepen our awareness through breathing, movement and voice work inspired by transformational healing practices as well as contemporary dance and experimental vocalising. We learn to use our voices freely and to communicate directly with our sensing bodies.

Voice is the bridge between the visible and the invisible in us. Body is our instrument, the physical form that resonates with sound, a pathway from where voice reaches out as waves vibrating through air. Since our first cry right after birth, our voice is very powerful expressive force. Most of us scale down on our ability to use voice, we narrow the range as we become socially trained and the use of voice becomes categorised as appropriate or inappropriate.  Tuning in with ourselves, our senses and our intuition, we can use our bodies and voices to communicate with the wordless worlds within. Through conscious breathing, sound vibration, the awareness of our sensing bodies in stillness and in movement we can release and enjoy the unlimited creativity within.  

In this workshop we release the social codes and find innovative ways of 'sounding' the body, extending our vocal range and variety of expression. How do we actually produce sound, what happens in the body when we use our voice?  In this workshop we get in touch with our inner resonance, expanding outwards. Letting your body and voice guide you between the visible and the invisible, we can experience the freedom of finding and sharing unknown territories within.

Voicing Your Body is a relaxing, rejuvenating and inspiring experience for anyone interested in creative self-knowledge. No previous singing or dancing experience is necessary.

​What participants are saying: 

​'' I really enjoyed your workshop and it opened some new possibilities in my everyday world. In my singing, my body, all these things are still floating around.'' 

''One of the things that struck me the most was how easy we all tuned in, and after that I had the feeling that the communication through movements is possible. I can say things without thinking in words. I can tell you things without thinking. '' 

'' It's intuitive, playful, and creative - what do you need more in life? ''
