The impulse to sing is as ancient as the universe itself.
Many cultures have been kept alive through the power of singing.
In the very early days, this is how wisdom was preserved and passed down from generation to generation – through singing.
Singing is an intrinsic part of every being and every tradition.
Why has this practice endured throught the ages?
The answer is fascinating. Although in religious traditions, the singer uses his voice to glorify God, it is the singer himself who receivees the greatest benefit.
Sing and see what happens to your heart.
Sing and see what happens to your very being.
Singing opens the heart and the door to paradise within.
When difficulties come before you, sing to them.
Singing removes barriers, uplifts and refreshes your spirit.
Singing can lift you out of the labyrinth of thoughts that cause you to suffer, to feel sad, anxious, and afraid.
So sing! Everyone can sing.
Where do you start?
Find a simple song you love – or a chant or a prayer – that makes your whole body feel gooooood.
Then! Learn it!
Memorize the words. Memorize the melody. And just sing it all the time.

Every voice is entirely unique. As unique as your thumbprint. That’s what makes the voice so exquisite. You might notice how someone’s voice will be the thing that makes that tingle go up your spine. The vibratory impact of the voice is powerful.
Most of us don’t learn how to use our voices effectively. Many have been told not to try – a painful disconnect from the one’s most impactful source of expression.
If you are a speaker, teacher, chanter, singer, or that person who has always longed to explore but felt blocked, this one-day workshop is for you. I have scaled the workshop back to just one day, reducing the cost, and making it more accessible for busy lives and for those who want to dip their toes in the water, so to speak.
