Mothering Desire

October 23 - November 30

​

There are many pivotal points in a singers life, but nothing can be quite so earth shattering times of great physical transition.  This workshop sets the stage of what is true and possible during times of major physical changes for singers including pregnancy and postpartum, peri and menopause and even injury and illness.

​

This workshop explores the deep through line of how your desires shape our relationship to your body, your singing, and your career. Over 6 weeks you will explore the power of honoring your deepest desires and how this shapes your whole life experience.  Together we'll clean up how you work in each of these areas to maximize your artistry at every level.

​

• Anatomical function of the body, how it responds to your desires - and the resulting effects on your singing

• Re-building the foundation of your relationship to your body for singing

• Dive into the pelvic floor muscles and their relationship to singing

• Advanced concepts for breath support and resonance

• Working smarter under pressure/fatigue, rest, energetic support,

• Advanced concepts in learning function of the parental brain

In addition to the live sessions there will also be a private facebook group to connect with singers on a similar journey and to get support outside of the sessions.

​

Weeks alternate between a presentation module and a live group coaching session to experience these principles in action.  This gives you time to digest the information and play with the exercises before we get together for group coachings.  The facebook group allows you to share any questions, concerns or realizations between sessions and benefit from other participants' experiences as well.

All sessions will be recorded and available to participants for at least a year.  

Limited to 8 participants

Week 1 Your Body

Uncover how conscious and subconscious desires for your body can affect your experiences in living and singing. How you look, how you exercise, how you move through the world all set the baseline for your relationship with your body, but often these expectations are set by society, by family, by things that ultimately have no connection to your ACTUAL desires for yourself. This is where we start rewriting your desires for yourself. 

​

Topics Covered: Anatomy and function of breath in the body, how it responds to our desires, and the resulting effects on resonance, movement, and airflow. Re-building foundations of your relationship with your body and singing: breathing, airflow, ease, movement, release

Improper ideas about your body and function limit your singing and today we start reframing your relationship with your body to get better results in your singing. We start working with the expanse of the body in singing. This fundamental shift starts to shape your desires in deeper, more meaningful ways. When you get dramatic results with little effort, what else could be available to you?
