Join us for the highly anticipated two day workshop where you will be guided through multiple exercises that will bring deep joy and ease to singing!!
Whether you are a seasoned singer, someone that sings but holds themselves back, or a beginner, you will find value in this experience!
 
 
 
Things we will focus on:

-Discovering our needs and speaking our truth
-Somatically moving performance anxiety
-Vocal liberation and activation
-Improv and sound play
-Finding pleasure through sound
-Singing from the heart
-Sharing our voice with others
 
Expressing yourself through song allows others to see, hear, and feel parts of your heart and soul that only songs can share. It also helps clear blocks allowing authentic communication, boundary setting, conflict resolution, heart shares, and all expressions of truth. We are so excited to use everything we’ve have learned to guide you on a journey to unlocking and reclaiming your voice so we can hear the sacred songs of your heart and soul. So we can hear the precious truth of who you really are. So we can witness you in the your powerful journey of liberating your beautiful expression.

Kyrynn Simons: Kyrynn grew up learning to meditate, feel and express her emotions in a healthy way from the age of 5. She experienced her first Heart of Now retreat at the age of 14, and started assisting at 18. She is now 25 and has been co-facilitating Heart of Now retreats the last few years. Kyrynn was born singing but later experienced trauma with her peers at school. This trauma shut down her ability to express through song. It was through Heart of Now that Kyrynn was able to free her voice and become the amazing song leader she is today. She is known for her ability to connect somatically with her voice and often brings people to tears with her song. She is devoted to helping people find the path back to their authentic selves in connection with ALL that is.

 

Clayton Seward: Clayton got his start singing as a boy in choir, and over time he built an ear for rhythm and harmony. Later on as he found his own voice, he started to write songs and sing at open mics. He slowly built the confidence to lead groups in song, and hold space for his friends and community to share their voices. Clayton has a passion for supporting his community in vocal expression no matter their confidence or skill level. He believes everyone has a voice and deserves an opportunity to be seen and heard in their authentic expression.
