What about the women?
Remembering and emancipating our true voice, as free women
For thousands of years the feminine voice has been reduced and silenced.
In the Jewish religion, for example, a woman’s voice is directly connected to her sexuality, there
for an orthodox Jewish women is not allowed to sing in front of men.
Like our sexuality, our voice too holds the key to connect us to our true power.
It is magnificent, it is beautiful, it is wise and holds great spiritual expression. One that we have
not allowed our selves to express freely for far to many generations.
For all humans, the voice is a conductor – a meeting point between spirit and matter.
And for most of us, the access to this gate has been limited by the partitions that life has taught
us to build.
Through our breathing, through exercises and some simple tools, we will learn to dissolve these
partitions of shame, judgment and guilt and free the wings of hidden voice, love it again, enjoy
this free expression as individuals and as part of a group, combining our voices together in
harmony.
The workshop incorporates meditative methods and technical tools for healthier singing,
exercises, improvised circle singing and ceremony.
The workshop is for any woman who just loves to sing.
