Oct 27 and 28 - Yoga of the Voice

amazing people freeing their voices

Yoga of the Voice ~ Voice as Energy ~ Vitality through Sound~ Permission to Sing

I am on a life-long mission to sing; to sing for the benefit of all beings. And most importantly to sing for myself, for my healing and freedom. I truly believe that my healing benefits all beings, and I believe that the more I heal, the better I can serve the world.

I followed a calling the last weekend of October, a calling to free my voice. I heard this call a number of years ago; I was introduced to Silvia Nakkach through a podcast Luke shared with me. It was about Silvia’s medicine melodies-- I was touched by her voice and the sounds that came from nature and her truth, that is how I understand the medicine melodies. Since then, I have been blessed with my own medicine melodies that spontaneously come to me, mostly when I am in nature

That was five years ago…I finally met Silvia Nakkach and experienced her teachings and guidance in freeing the voice.

My intention is to go further and deeper with this practice and to make singing and sound a huge part of my life. Particularly the seed syllables and sacred practices such as drupad. They are sacred sounds that connect to energy centres in the body, the organs and elements. I would like to do a shout out to Karuna, my dear friend who took me and my beloved friends on a yoga, seed syllable journey on the my 40th rites of passage. I think that was a taste of what my future holds.

Here is a photo of Silvia instructing students to use the sruti box, a beautiful Indian instrument that supports singing with a drone. Many of the practices use a drone to support the voice. I love it!
