Humans have been singing and calling out in devotion in ritual since the beginning of time and that call is both a yearning and an invitation. Your voice is more than self-expression—it's a healing tool, your birthright, a path to presence and power.
You are invited to join sacred musician and teacher Suzanne for a workshop that blends ancient sound practices, modern neuroscience, profound singing technique and joyful collective song.
In this class we will work with rhythm, chant and song to create ritual magic and to feel a joyful, embodied connection with Source. We will explore ways to use rhythm as a profound energy raising tool. We will also delve into the powerful world of sound and singing and learn about the science of voices and singing as an instrument of ritual from the beginning of time.
What holy longing calls to your soul of expression? Will you dive into your own creative devotion and open to spirit as it flows into word, story and song?
