Since we are an embrio, inside the mother’s womb, we are very sensitive to sound vibration, and we can respond to them. These vibrations come to us through the mother that connects us with the outside world. We are born with a great mechanism through which we can respond directly to the way we sense life: The possibility to make sounds and the ability to express our inner world and our needs through our voice. That is the beginning of our ability to sing.

The work with voice is not about learning to sing. It is about rescuing our natural ability to sing spontaneously by expressing our inner experiences and our soul. This way of singing is a spiritual activity, a therapeutic tool, and a means for self-expression, as it is a call to be total in the present moment and to give expression to whatever is happening, through the singing voice.

Most of us have been so painfully repressed in our natural gift of expressing ourselves through our voice, that we have to keep everything inside, or bring it out in distorted and confused ways. The body had to create patterns – tensions and holdings – to keep things that couldn’t be expressed in some kind of order.

This workshop is about creating spaces in the body through breathing and movements in order to open for the sounds that are screaming inside to be expressed. The liberation of these inner sounds is like balsam, like an inner massage into our tissues, muscles, joints, and cells. We will follow the chakra system as a map to explore different ranges and qualities of sounds, from the lowest, to the higher frequencies, from the raf to the most gentle, from anger to love, from pleasure to pain, from power to joy. This exploration brings new dimensions and qualities to our singing voice as well as to our speaking voice.

In this journey, the ability to listen is as important as the ability to express. As listeners we open all our senses, our heart, mind, cels, to listen to the vibrations, and we become utterly present and open to receive. When we practice listening and being like a receptive mirror, we start sensing more clear the places in our body, mind, and soul that reacts, refuses and contracts. The awareness of such inner places is the first step into giving them space to open and expand. We will explore and play with the many possibilities of our human’s voice in its infinite qualities of sounds, with the intention to express our unique self and to reach the depths of our silence and stillness.

Welcome to a deep and playful journey into your self!

I am born in Brazil, where I graduated in Art Education and start exploring the voice and spontaneous singing as ways to make contact with my inner self. In my early twenties I moved to India and lived for many years at the Osho meditation Resort, where I learned, experienced and taught a variety of transpersonal and meditative therapies, self-development techniques and body-work.

Many years of meditation practice, self-enquiry and singing skills, combined with exploration of spiritual traditions as Zen, Sufism and Tantra, and various western therapeutic methods are the base of my work.
