Free Your Voice Through Shamanic Vocal Cultures & Medicine Melodies

May 18, 2019 by Open Center

Free Your Voice Through Shamanic Vocal Cultures & Medicine Melodies

Date & Time
05/18/2019 - 05/19/2019
9:30 am - 5:30 pm

Silvia Nakkach

This class explores the use of shamanic chants and ancient vibrational formulas to clear energetic channels and serve as a gateway for therapeutic processes, detachment, and community peacemaking. Through sound healing contemplative practices, participants gather an original repertoire of chants and medicine melodies to implement in shamanic journeys and psychotherapeutic and music healing sessions. Students experience the emotional magic that comes from singing the icaros of the Peruvian Amazon and the ragas and songs of ancient traditions of India, Tibet, Brazil, and beyond. Special emphasis will be given to the use of the voice in spiritual healing through the work of outstanding healers from Brazil, India and Japan, and learning how they implement sound and music to transform consciousness, overcome psychosomatic impediments, and pacify a community.

Deep listening and tuning-in to the healing potential of the voice, sound, and silence, this class adds a new dimension to the therapeutic repertoire of musicians, health care professionals, spiritual seekers, singers, and anyone interested in exploring self-healing and creativity, while gaining practical skills to implement sacred sound in integrative medicine, psychotherapy, body-work, yoga, and as a personal spiritual practice. No previous experience is required.

A Two-Day Workshop
Saturday – Sunday, May 18 – 19, 2019, 9:30 am – 5:30 pm

Influenced by some of the greatest musical geniuses and spiritual masters throughout the world, Free Your Voice brilliantly integrates world wisdom so that the ordinary Western student can quickly experience mysticism through singing and begin to practice the yoga of voice. I love this book!”
