- Daily Lucid Body Training – A chakra-based approach to character work, unlocking emotional depth and physical expressiveness.
- Voice Liberation Workshops – Explore breath, vibration, and resonance to connect with the most primal and poetic aspects of your voice.
- Embodying Text & Sound – Integrating movement, rhythm, and voice in monologues, dialogues, and devised work.
- Nature Immersion & Ritual Work – Singing with the land, moving with the wind, and attuning to the natural frequencies around us.
- Safe Space for Expression – Establishing a trust-based practice for intimate, vulnerable, and powerful performances.
A holistic journey of sound, movement, and presence—where the body and voice become one.
