Samer and Silvia workshops in Brooklyn
A new journey to vocal freedom begins here as you experience how an emergence moment happens. Our voice and sound practice yearn to feel more openness, more freedom, more harmonic resonance, a leap of faith, and a sense of joyful belonging. Nothing is more satisfying than feeling supported, guided, and inspired in your creative endeavors. This workshop is designed as a journey of sound explorations and immersive voice activation practices, with interludes of silent contemplation to access sacred imagination and insight and offering a profound spiritual approach to the poetics of sounding as a reenchanting art. The unconventional practices will encourage you to revitalize your vocal potential and listening skills to future possibilities of becoming a facilitator and freeing the voice to other individuals and wellness communities. And there is more to imagine when your voice feels free.
“Through my voice art, I aim to the divine reenchanting of our vibrational world, and there’s nothing more empowering when all circle members share their voices in harmonic resonance as a natural impulse to translate into music and joy the essence of being alive. The possibilities are endless…!” Silvia Nakkach
