Reclaim Your Voice and Live Your Truth

 

For passionate healers, creatives, and activists who want to share their gifts with the world and inspire change starting now.

One of the most important tools we possess is our unique voice.  It is time for our voices to be used in the service of healing and change. So many of us are have learned to bury, silence, or cover up our authentic voice.  What if we trusted our vessel and courageously gave ourselves permission to live and speak our truth?  What if the world was calling us to become voices of change? 

What if our voice was necessary for the healing of our world?


Ready To UNLEASH THE POWER OF YOUR voice INTO THE WORLD?

Live Online Coaching Course

This will be a course that asks for deep engagement and may, at times lead you to unexpected places of healing and transformation. Each Wednesday I will guide our group to dive deep into releasing blocks of self-expression. Following each session will be weekly practices and worksheets to continue the work and develop practices that work for you. If you are looking for a road map to reclaim your voice this is the course for you. 

 

The Voice of Change Method is a comprehensive system of releasing blocks to self expression.

It is designed to develop and strengthen our ability to live, express, and embody our truth and use that ability to stand for personal and systemic change. 

Weaving together a number of modalities including sound, story, movement, and ritual, the VOC journey holds at its center the understanding that we are all hard-wired for self-expression and can create a new vision for ourselves and our world through art, creativity, and community.

This work is within an anti-oppression frame and is trauma-informed.  

This is for you if…


You have always wanted to sing but think that you “can’t sing”

You have something to offer the world but feel held back by a fear of public speaking or your inner critic

6 Weeks of Life Changing Work

  • Becoming a Voice of Change encompasses many layers. Our initial session will begin with an introduction to the course and an overview of this work in the broader context of the world right now. We will introduce ourselves and why we are called to reclaim our own voices. We will explore the wounds to our expression both personal and collective, as well as how our wounds can become our gifts. Finally, we will set intentions and invite the possibility of change while committing to using our voices for healing both ourselves and the world.

  • We are instruments of great perception and power and our voices are one of the greatest tools we possess. In this session, we will come to understand the power of sound and how sound has been used as medicine since the beginning of time. We will learn how ancient sound teachings are now being proven and how sound is being utilized in surprising ways in modern scientific applications. We will dive deeper into the voice as a trauma healing tool, examining how and why our voices are silenced and what we can do about it. Finally, we will learn about the physiology of the voice, with exercises designed to help you understand and connect your own “instrument” for health and pleasure.

  • Your voice is your birthright and yet a great many of us have been taught to silence our voices and our creative expression. These blocks may be preventing us from stepping into our work, relationships, and creativity with the fullness of who we are and know that we can be. In this session, we will create rituals that can assist us in releasing the grip of the inner critic and calling our soul voice back home. We will learn tools that can assist us to stay grounded and clear as we uncover and speak the truth that has been hidden within us. We will practice new techniques of self care as we begin to vision how we will use our voices for healing and change out in the world. Finally, we will explore the necessity and importance of listening well.

  • What do your words and stories create for you? Are you choosing your words mindfully? Do you have places where you can safely express your shadow emotions so that they are not sneaking out in unconscious communication? In this session, we will discover exactly how and why our words matter and have impact. We will understand ancient teachings about the power of words. We will continue to explore how to know and speak your authentic truth and what it means to “speak truth to power”. We will learn about the 4 R’s of effective communication and we will begin to craft our Truthtalk Manifestos.

  • We are all Artists. In this session, we will explore how in our current culture, we have come to overvalue that which can be "proven" and measured over the forces of mystery and imagination. For many of us, our expression and creativity are suppressed, devalued, and seen as accessible only to professional artists, rather than accessible to all humans. Using guided meditation we will tap into our imagination, invite a sense of playfulness and explore alternate and creative ways to speak out and advocate for change. We will translate our passion into word feasts and think “outside the box” to create and innovate, further refining the message of our Truthtalk Manifestos.

  • Taking holy risks and trusting ourselves. In this session, we will visit the stories of our Ancestors and of historical Voices of Change who impacted culture by speaking out for justice, connection and healing. We will explore the concept of resonance and how it works with collective visions and voices. We will find ways to keep using our voice on behalf of ourselves and also in places and communities where it is needed and impactful. We will share our Truthtalk Manifestos and envision how we can share our gifts with community right away. We will anchor in deep ritual and prayer to support us as we go forward.

  • There will be 2 pre-recorded movement/sound sessions for you to do at your own pace which will greatly enhance your ability to integrate the information in the live sessions.
