Join us for a unique group dedicated to cultivating our voices and using voice to explore the inner truths of connection and source.
We work with the voice as a bodily exploration of vibration and energy.
This isn’t about how pretty your voice is. This is about your voice being an intelligent feedback system for your soul.
This is about deep communion with the divine and surrender to your high self’s song.
Technically, we use pranayama breathing techniques and classical Hindustani indian vocal training to cultivate our practice. This needs to be practiced at home after class so you can keep building on it throughout the course and grow. We also work with singing bhajans, ragas, and mantras, and occasionally other cultures such as Sufi and Cretan.
Here is the breakdown:
Week 1: Opening the Channel of our Voice
We will get acquainted with the practice and learn about the beginning foundations of hindustani vocals. Practice song.
Week 2: Hearing our Voice
Review week 1 and continue with hindustani vocal practice. Group evaluation of scales and the voice. Practice song.
Week 3: Intro to Rag Bhairav
Learn about the Indian rags, start with Rag Bhairav. Rag Bhairav is a mystical set of notes, and we will be practicing our voice scales in this rag. Continue with review of previous weeks and hindustani vocal practice. Practice song in rag bhairav.
Week 4: Review of Rag Bhairav
We will continue working with Rag Bhairav, expanding upon the vocal practices and practice song in Rag Bhairav.
