Workshop: Voice Improv Lab
Drawing from core principles of Voice Movement Therapy, Contact Improvisation, sacred chant, and moving meditation practices, we will explore using our voices as instruments of expression and connection. This is not exactly a singing class, though singing might happen (its one of the many amazing things a voice can do!) The primary focus of this class will be exploring voice as sound and as vehicle for free expression, without the structure and limitations of language, song, style, or convention.

You already know how to do this. From the moment of your first breath, long before words had meaning, you used your voice to express your experience and summon connection. As humans learn language, we inevitably limit our voices to a narrow range of their capacity, but most of us come into this life with a voice that is free, full, unstructured, and unhindered. This class is an invitation to return there. Through whole group and small group exercises, we will sound our experiences and create sonic scores.

The Healing Apprenticeship,
with Michael Swerdloff

Are you ready to clear the obstacles that prevent you from sustainably being yourself? Have you had enough of the same problems showing up again and again, no matter how long you are in therapy or practicing meditation, yoga, or other spiritual practices?

Imagine a week where your sole focus is your own healing through powerful guided meditations, Reiki, breathing, chant, and movement practices, in deep connection with your higher wisdom, in a supportive group of fellow wisdom seekers, nestled in the Costa Rican jungle against the backdrop of the Caribbean Sea. Our collective journey includes tropical birds, howler monkeys, sloths, flowers, and lush greenery. You are nourished and renewed by delicious, locally-sourced meals, an on-site pool, walking trails, the ancient Goddess Tree, and a beautiful beach on the Caribbean Ocean just steps away. Join us!

Highlights:
Morning movement, chanting, and meditation
Reiki Training, Practice, and Attunements
Teachings and experiential practice of connecting with the Higher Self and inner wisdom
Breath practices, yoga, qi gong, singing, dancing
