Diamond Workshop

Sacred Vibration: 

Healing with Sound & Movement

The intention of the workshop is to use and experience the cleansing effect of sound vibration. Everything resonates and vibrates.  We use VoCHeTTM (Vocal Chakra Healing Tones) and KiVoTM* to cleanse the systems of the body:  blood, lymph, glandular, skeletal, reproductive, mental, emotional and intellectual-leaving us refreshed, invigorated, move available to grace.  With clear channels and as clear channels, we can receive, access, conduct, transmit and radiate the light of love more fully to all beings. 

You will go home with tools and tones to use to keep you healthy, to invigorate the body and exercise the lungs and voice.  You will also receive a token to assist you in awakening your intuitive wisdom.

Sapphire Workshop

Hatha & Nada Yoga: 

Sound & Silence In Your  Yoga Practice

In this workshop, we will focus on the breath and the use of chanting to effect deep relaxation and focus the mind.  Nada Yoga is understood to be the Yoga of Sound Vibration, using Divine Music to move from the gross reality to the subtle realm until reaching the source, absorbed in Divine Vibration, the essence of all creation.  Through asana, chanting and toning, you will learn tools for  deepening your yoga or meditation practice and will learn to listen to your own body’s voice.

Emerald Workshop

Shamanic Journeying:

Dance, Sing & Visualize

This gathering is designed to bring up images from your intuition, pictures you may disregard or deny and dance them awake!  We will tone and chant to open the energy centers of the body, take a Shamanic Journey to find an animal helper and then give that helper a voice and dance our stories.  We will explore the expression of cellular memory through sound and movement and do some journaling to anchor the experience.  

Ruby Workshop

Ruby Throated Sparrows:

Vocalizing & Visualizing for Professional Musicians

Transform breath control, technique and delivery by redefining them and giving them new names.  Bring prana and life force into the muladhara, vissudha and ajna doors and learn how to access their power.

*In KiVoTM, we warm up with Yogic vocal tones and rhythmic asanas, such as those used in ViniYoga, and move them in rhythm to music and the breath.  The movement becomes more active as we incorporate tribal and contemporary dance and add vocal percussion.  Then we hocket the vocal rhythms so we are actually "playing" together as a percussion ensemble.  The mind is challenged but it is also unlocked as we get inside the rhythm and intone naturally.  The meridians are crossed and the body and voice move as a single unit.

Since developing this technique, I've discovered that the Basotho people of Southern Africa have a single word for song and dance, which is "HoBina."  I am planning a trip to study HoBina next year.
