Did you know that your very own voice is a powerful, healing instrument?

This course will show you how to activate its potential.

For thousands of years, people across cultures have been using sound for healing, transformation, wellness, and spiritual expression.

In this program we will explore introductory forms of vocal sound healing traditions old and new, ancient and contemporary. These include toning, sounding the chakras, singing meditation, intuitive singing, and sacred chant.

When we activate the resonance of our voice, especially in a safe space for expression, we send healing vibrations through our whole body.

Science shows us this can:

  • Reduce stress, worry, anxiety, and depression
  • Slow heart rate and reduce blood pressure
  • Enhance immune function
  • Reduce pain
  • Activate beneficial neurotransmitters, hormones, and endorphins
  • Increase wellbeing, tranquility and inner peace
  • Increase creativity and connection with inner wisdom

Sessions will weave structured practices with intuitive singing meditations, focussing on a specific theme each week:

  • Week One – Deepen your breathing and awaken the resonant vibrations of your voice through vocal toning.
  • Week Two – Align your energy flow through the chakras by sounding the sacred seed syllables, the bija mantra
  • Week Three – Open your vocal channel further by sounding the chakra vowels.
  • Week Four – Learn uplifting intercultural songs and chants to attune with source and inner wisdom.
  • Week Five – Harmonize with the Great Song of Life through co-creative songweaving, for healing, renewal, and vitality.

This course is for those who want to discover the medicine and mystery of the voice for nourishing self-care, to release stress, and to enhance mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing.

No experience is required, and you do not need to identify as a singer to benefit. Participants’ mics will remain muted while singing, so you can sing your heart out in your own space.
