Heal the Voice and Make a Joyful Sound!

Healing voice wounds is about bringing compassion and Light to the parts of us that find it hard to speak up in conversations, minister or sing; and gently inviting these parts to relax back and experience the joy and connection of singing or speaking your truth.

We will meet each week for six zoom sessions to connect to each other, our bodies, breath and voices. Sessions will include invitations to be mindful of our bodies, thoughts and emotions; physical mindful movement; and invitations to explore the voice in playful ways, journal and share our experiences and learn folk songs and African chants. Participants are advised to wear headphones during these sessions.

Quakers are asked to “speak truth to power;” and, connecting to the inner light and bringing its glow into the world is a profound witness to the Light’s creativity, courage and connection. This is a joyful, playful course which invites our voices out of the shadows to find their true expression in the world. You will gain new insight into how your voice gets silenced and how the Light longs to live and express itself through your unique and precious voice.

There will be some material to look at before the first session. We will email you around one week prior to the course with information about accessing the course, including this material, on our online learning platform (Moodle).
