Join award-winning musician/teacher Jesse Olsen Bay for a deep dive into breath, body, sound, and song.

When we sing, our bodies are our instruments. Our breath and bones resonate with the expression of our inner worlds, connecting us to the rich stories embedded in song. In this workshop, you will deeply investigate these connections. Through improvisations, physical explorations, listening meditations, and songs, you’ll discover new forms of experience and expression. You will:

- Find ease, freedom, and expression in your voice through awareness and somatic practices

- Learn to listen and sing together in a group, blending voices in harmony and balance

- Sing beautiful, simple songs from various traditions, as a vehicle for self-expression and deeper connection with community, history, and a sense of the sacred

- Improvise with voices and bodies, journeying together through the ocean of sound

- Express and transform your deepest emotions -- joy, longing, sadness, love, peace, anger -- in a safe and supportive environment

No experience necessary - singing is for everyone! Participants are encouraged to sign up for all four workshops, but may also take them individually. Please register in advance!
