Sing for Yourself Workshop
With Kate Richards Geller
Wednesday, July 6th
10:00am – 11:00am (PST)
Via Zoom
Singing connects us to ourselves and to each other and to something larger. In connecting mind and body and soul, we find creative ways to explore big emotions and express ideas and strategies for integration and transformation. Singing and breathing and moving play with synchrony and resonance. These simple, natural actions tap into inner resources to settle the nervous system and re-establish balance which then supports us moving beyond our perceived limitations into positive change. Consistent experiences of joy and beauty build new neural pathways toward hope and belonging.
Join us for a healing session of singing…no experience required, and your mic will be off for the duration of the session.
Kate Richards Geller plays with everything we know and love about music to change our minds and our bodies and our communities. In the fields of music therapy and vocal improvisation, making music with children and grownups, understanding the body as an instrument, together we sing and dance our way into a world with more capacity for compassion, joy, connection, freedom….and healing.

4 Thursdays in July

Release stress, revitalize the body, harmonize the energy field…
Join us in an experiential play-shop providing powerful self-healing techniques to vitalize and energize your body, while calming and focusing your mind.

We will explore healing aspects of the Five Element Theory of Chinese Medicine and KOTOTAMA (The Ancient Science of Pure Sound) by surrounding the body with acoustic instruments that correspond to and replicate the Five Elements. Additional techniques include: qi gong, meditation, breathing techniques and vocalization.
