VOICE MEDICINE: CONNECTION AND ACTIVATION WITH SHEVANI (FOUNDATIONS)
In this workshop we first learn to use our voices intuitively.
​
When we sing we are not just receiving sound, we are making the sound, the vibrations created are felt viscerally
through the entire body at a cellular level.
​
In the second part of the workshop, we bring on more good vibrations using the Circle singing technique developed by Bobby Mcferrin, an American musician noted for his tremendous
vocal control improvisational ability. The music is entirely improvised melodies, rhythmics and textures travel from
singer to singer, perpetually morphing.
We may start with a hum, some percussive body slapping, any little
sound-ed movement that arises within us. And we use four different parts to coordinate us into one Voicestra!

DANCE TO DRUM AND CHANT! WITH SHEVANI
Come together bad-ass sisters!
Dance with its circles, spirals and figure-eight configurations, describes life at its universal cataclysmic inception.
​
Express gentleness, sensuality and ferocity!
Through dance, people can tune into the rhythms and pulses of the Universe. Dancing like this expresses the human
longing to reach out beyond the confines of the ego and the personal body. When we dance we are always in the present moment, the now.
We end the session with group humming & toning as one, melting deep into bliss mode.
