The Present Voice: A Path To Healing & Reconciliation

✨ A Two-Day Workshop in Healing Presence and Reconciliation

For Christians and others longing to speak, listen, and live with greater truth and compassion.

🕊️ Step into the Sacred Space Between Silence and Speech

Join us for a transformative workshop where the ancient lament of Euripides’ The Trojan Women meets the timeless wisdom of Orthodox Christian spirituality.

Through guided vocal and embodiment practices, participants will reclaim their voices as instruments of truth, presence, and healing—not only for the stage but also for personal relationships, spiritual journeys, and daily encounters.

🌿 In This Workshop, You Will:

• Learn embodied voice techniques rooted in classical acting craft, Orthodox theology, and contemplative practice
• Rehearse and perform monologues from The Trojan Women—a timeless story of grief, resilience, and truth
• Explore how presence—of body, breath, and word—can heal fractured relationships and inner wounds
• Practice truthful communication that builds bridges rather than walls
• Engage in embodied prayer and spiritual dialogue
• Discover performance as sacred offering, not just entertainment

🎭 Why The Trojan Women?

In this ancient play, women of a war-torn city grieve, resist, and speak truth amid devastation. Their voices mirror our own—crying out from trauma, displacement, and longing for healing.

As Christians, we do not turn away from suffering—we bring it into the light of Christ.

This workshop offers lament as prayer and shared story as sacred path to reconciliation.

🙏 This Workshop is For:

• Orthodox Christians and others seeking spiritual and emotional restoration
• Anyone longing to heal personal wounds or divided relationships
• Artists, actors, seekers, and peacemakers who value the intersection of theology, creativity, and healing
