Unlock deep-seated physical and emotional patterns through the art of vocal vibration. While bodywork and traditional talk therapy work can wonders from the outside in, certain inner landscapes can only be reached through sound. In this somatic healing circle, you will harness the resonant power of Indian Ragas—using simple singing, toning, and vocal exploration to access stuck energy, untangle emotional patterns, and rewrite old body stories.
No prior vocal experience is needed. You’ll leave each session with practical raga-based tools you can use at home for daily self-care, meditation, and emotional regulation.
Participants will learn how to use foundational, single-tone vocal explorations—grounded by the traditional alap of Indian classical music—to tune into the body’s energy centers, process stored emotions, and safely release stagnancy.
Participants will learn through guided vocal exercises over a traditional drone, somatic body awareness, in a non-judgmental group singing experience designed to gently bypass the thinking mind and unlock held tension.
