With the dark of winter

Comes the invitation

To enter deep within.

Together - to gather -

Kindle our own fire

And following bare trees,

Shed

This

Skin.

Here, in tender nakedness

Raw, real, discovering

- That voice -

Finally met, finally expressed

Rebirths us in full colour,

Rising with the Spring.

  • LIVE GROUP SESSIONS

    90 minute / 2 hour live sessions (3 weeks on, 1 week off) where we gather to experience The Listening Voice process and release our collective sound. Live demonstrations and clearings. 1-1 guidance and witnessing. Questions and community discussions.

    A series of extra calls with inspiring guest teachers on selected Wednesdays, featuring practice sessions and Q&A.

  • RECORDED VIDEO & AUDIO MATERIAL

    Access to a video library featuring suggestions towards your personal daily practice, visual guidance to The Listening Voice sounds and movement practices. Emailed notes between sessions are also offered in audio format so you can enjoy as you would a podcast.

“This was a coming home. My soul is now singing so loudly. And I will never quieten or hold it back again.”

- Helen Squires, Somatic & Psychotherapist

EACH 90 MIN - 2 HOUR LIVE SESSION INCLUDES ::

  • Guided deep listening practice to enter us into our sensory experience

  • Movement practices to allow the body and nervous system to come back to their natural state of ease

  • Connecting with the voice to vibrationally access the information, themes and patterns stored in the part of the body we are working

  • Demonstrations and 1-1 guidance: so you can see live examples of the listening and sounding practice, then engage in the practice with us

  • Clearing work and accessing altered states through voice

  • Theory on the organs and anatomy in relation to voice work

  • Tasked break out rooms to go deeper and have an opportunity to connect with other participants

  • Experiencing the power and impact of a collective sound field, as we all sound at the same time from our own homes *preparation notes feature ways to comfortably do this even when you are aware of other bodies hearing you in your space

  • Live group constellations where we move through an emerged collective theme together

  • Opportunities to share, witness and be witnessed

  • Writing prompts, journalling and embodiment practices to integrate what we have experienced and affirm new ways of being

listening.

Find your somatic centre. The place from which all sensation arises. The witness within.

– 

body.

Move out of survival breathing. Movement practices to draw you into presence. You notice the places of tension or resistance. Coming into connection with what wants to express. You reconnect to your natural sensitivity and sensation.

–

voice.

You are guided into the sounding practice, experiencing each sound in the body and the themes that emerge from there. Discover how sending vibration to different parts of the body unlock and clear patterns in your life.

–

release.

Stored emotions, limiting beliefs, stagnation and tensions are released through the expression of your voice. You reclaim your authentic expression.

–

integrate.

Breath, silence, space. You allow the body to re-organise itself into its natural state. Observe how the sound clearing affects your daily life, experiences, intimate relationships and your expression in the world around you. Notice and journal between sessions.
