A Somatic Journey Into Melody

One of my favorite things to do is to sit with a drone instrument and sing different melodies, playing with simple movements from note to note. It has become a beautiful spiritual practice in my life to center me in my body, my emotions, and my day.

Join me for a 6 week class exploring and connecting with the felt sense of melodies through our voice and body. Each week we will explore the building blocks of what a melody is made of as we inhabit different musical modes, which are the basis of melodies in western music. Each week we will sing and ‘try on’ how different pairings of notes elicit qualities of being; emotionally, physically, and potentially spiritually. And we will take our time to really luxuriate and feel into in each musical relationship. There will also be time spent in each class exploring vowels; how they resonate in our body, how different subtle mouth and tongue shapes shift the tone and comfort unique to you. This class is participatory. This will be a small group so that I can give you guidance and one on one attention.

All levels of experience will benefit and come away with new awareness and tools.

Each week you will be given guided prompts and audio recordings to practice and sing with.

6 Wednesdays, January 15-19th, 10am-11:20am PST Each class length: 80min
