2025 September Full Moon Workshop: Freeing the Voice with Dream Seed

Freeing the Voice
Techniques for Breath, Tone & Healing with Dream Seed

Saturday September 9, 2025
2:00 PM - 5:00 PM
   
ABOUT THE PROGRAM

To find our voice through song and prayer can be healing and transformative for ourselves, for others and for the entire world, as it is an act of courage and vulnerability that speaks to the spirit on many levels. People often compare their voice to that of pop musicians but what makes the voice transcend entertainment and create healing is connecting to our raw, unique, and authentic vibration. 

In this workshop participants are guided on how to use the medicine of their voice through singing, chanting, mantra, healing songs, toning, overtone vocalizations, with and without instrumental accompaniment.

 

 

In addition this workshop will cover:

• Voice techniques, warm-ups, exercises,
  
• How to control volume, projection and resonance
  
• Vocal Health (teas, what to avoid, etc.)
  
• Working with the throat chakra to find your authentic voice
  

 

 
WHAT TO EXPECT

• Professional vocal warm up exercises, techniques, and circling for opening the physicality & emotional empowerment of the voice to allow the authentic expression to arise.
  
• Group mantra recitation, overtone chanting, Tuvan throat singing, & traditional Native American medicine songs taught through call & response.
  
• Activating the chakra system through the voice with crystal bowls, the shruti box, didgeridoo, & other overtone emitting instruments creating a soundscape bed to sing with.
  
• Each participant will have the opportunity to lead the group in circling call & response exercises throughout the course.
  

Class will take place in the beautiful, newly renovated MAGI Art Lab.
