Dear Vocal Journeyers New and Old,

Because the Vocal Journeys Summer "Passport" worked so well for everyone, we are carrying that form forward into the brisk season of falling leaves and everything pumpkin. Your Fall Passport allows you to sign up for a class time that works for you and attend another class on the schedule if you are out of town and unable to attend your regular class. (Class schedule below)

This season our theme for classes is M U T U A L I T Y. I love how the intelligence, wisdom, perspective and personality of a group emerges and supports each individual to grow and become in the ways that they need. Mutuality is one of the reasons why; we tend to be more generous and loving with others than we are with ourselves, more patient and kind. We tend to see and appreciate beauty in others in a way we resist seeing it in ourselves. Good will breeds good will, compassion more compassion, love more love, kindness more kindness. In turn, the harvest of our shared seeing and knowing yields more wisdom, more forgiveness, more growth, more awareness of ourselves AS THAT BEAUTY. We become more of everything we want to be and feel-- not just in the studio, but in our lives. You grow because I grow, not because we are obligated to, but because we naturally rise in relationships where vulnerability is the currency, where we feel safe enough to shed our skin and take risks. What that means for the voice is profound.

Whether you are someone who thinks they can't sing or a seasoned performer, Vocal Journeys offers a safe space to get comfortable with being seen and heard, to experiment and stretch your courage and limits. The Vocal Journeys studio is a place to practice being yourself and loving yourself, a place to cultivate the raw art of self-expression. 

The practice beneath singing is being with what is, learning to be seen and heard as we are in whatever shape we are in, working with ourselves to change what doesn't serve us. We practice how to listen deeply to the whole person and give thoughtful feedback, and to receive feedback without deflection or defensiveness. Though this work is practiced in the studio and on stage, it is most profoundly about cultivating our voices for the rugged task of living and expressing authentic lives.

Six week session is $450. Your venmo payment is your registration. Please specify session number and day/time of class. 

@Marlene-Carvalho  Thank you for registering by August 30th.

If you are called to do this work and need to discuss how to make it possible, please contact me. 

I look forward to holding space for you at the crossroads of vulnerability and risk, as ever. 

With love,

Marlene
