What to Expect On Your Autumn Immersion Journey

• Four Days In Which You Step Out Of Time

We live into the Hero’s Journey by fully practicing the cycle of SEPARATION – INITIATION – RETURN. 

We leave behind everything that is familiar to us – people, places, routines, habits, etc.  This allows us to shed a familiar way of being, in order to open to the deeper parts of ourselves that await us, and allow us to go, vocally and otherwise, where we haven’t gone before.

• Be Part Of A Musical Ensemble & Experience The Group As a Living Presence

Many of us have been uncomfortable being in groups, as they make us aware of our vulnerabilities, insecurities and shortcomings in social settings.  Yet these types of group processes are powerful vehicles for awakening new ways of perceiving and relating, and through the vehicle of musical expression, the group ‘field’ can provide new ways of experiencing one’s self as embodied and alive to the world.

• Experience Activating & Embodied Vocal Resonance As A Group

We will be encouraged gradually move our bodies to help open and deepen our vocal resonance. We will do so gently and intentionally, in ways we would might not typically do in our daily lives.  These ways of moving, and vibrating through our vocal registers, take us beyond old self-imposed limitations, and allow for new ways of imagining and becoming ourselves to spontaneously emerge from within.  

• Working With A Personal Edge

Each participant will have the opportunity to address a personal limitation or block that tends to hold them back from a more robust and free vocal expression.  One might work through an area of struggle that causes them persistently ‘stay small’ and reduce their vitality.  Each participant will be provided with opportunities, with support, to transcend these obstacles, and to ‘sing their way’ into new psychic territories.

• Engaging A Sense of Mystery Through Joyful Participation In An Ensemble

Those attending this particular musical immersion will have the chance to experience a gradual, yet profound sense of surrendering deeper and deeper into one’s self.  By doing so, participants find themselves becoming more vitally alive, as the encounter a sense of wordless awe and wonder at the edge of a mystery.  Music is an incredible vehicle for such an entry.  The challenge is to become deeply receptive to the deep longing we have for vocalized expression – the very thing that can passionately move the self forward through new ways of thinking and spontaneously acting.
