About this event

  • 2 hours

Welcome to Medicine Song, a journey of Somatic Voice and Movement Medicine® with Yasia, exploring our Medicine Songs, songs for these times to bring strength of body, heart and spirit.

This is a deep dive into Voice, Sound and Song, working with the beautiful structures of Somatic Voice work and Movement Medicine®.

Learn how to listen for a song, how to invite, greet and welcome songs that land with you during this natural listening field we will create together.

A space for deep listening for your true Voice, and your Medicine Songs, Songs for healing, Empowerment and Resilience for these times. Space to resource yourself with silence, movement, sound and song, to invite the songs that live in side each one of us.

You absolutely do not need any singing/ dance or movement experience to join this workshop.

Voicework is a way of opening and unlocking the power of your voice. It is a non-judgmental approach to the voice and not about ‘singing in tune’ or making a ‘nice sound’ although nice sounds do occur! Its more about receiving and welcoming your true authentic voice, letting go of the shame, fear and judgement that can often hold us back in fuller expression of Self on all levels. https://yasia.org/voicework

Movement Medicine® is a movement practice, and a synthesis of shamanic, therapeutic and devotional pathways. Movement Medicine provides a contemporary map to support, deepen and enrich your dance both on the dance floor and through life. www.schoolofmovementmedicine.com

ABOUT CHANTING

This form of singing together is in a call and response format. It is a very joyful and quick way to connect deeply to your heart. The power of this practise for mental health, emotional and physical wellbeing is not to be underestimated.

WHAT IF I THINK I CAN’T SING?

You do not need an experience of singing to participate, nor do you need to have a 'good voice' in order to join in. This form of group singing is a wonderful way to explore and celebrate your voice in whatever form you find it in. Leave your self judgment at the door and come and sing!

Yasia uses the simple call and response format to explore and inspire confidence for people to experiment with, and enjoy their voices. It is truly a nonjudgmental and joyous way to really sing!
