Join me for "JOY of SOUND"
a fun and nurturing vocal workshop designed to spark creativity, connection and community. In playful ways, we will explore the healing effects of sound within the body to enhance physical and mental well-being. We will vocal humming and tonal vibrations with movement, incorporating breath, rhythm, and improvisation interspersed with reflective writing and simple art as interconnected paths to discovery and deeper self-awareness. It is an uplifting journey intended to inspire self-expression while experiencing the joy-filled benefits of collective sound. This session is open to all levels, and no prior experience is required. Wear comfortable clothes, easy to move in and soft shoes. Allison is a professional performing artist, singer and actor, who brings over 40 years of advanced study of the voice and of the meditational arts as healing and creative life practices to her work.

Through playful interactions, we’ll explore interweaving open-ended movement and yoga with music, songs, stories, dance, games and art that promotes learning on deeper levels, and builds life skills.
