The Art of the 1:1 Sound Session

• In this workshop, Jessica will walk participants through the art of the private sound session,
  starting with the client intake form and leading all the way to the post-session follow-up. Learn
  the basics around structuring a sound session, working with the client’s intention, and creating
  a beginning, middle, and end to the sound experience. Among the topics covered will be brain wave states, the differences between private sessions and group sessions, the balance between sound and silence, as well as best practices for working with physical touch, and using instruments on and near the body. We’ll also touch on how and why to use certain instruments, as well as including complementary modalities into your private sound sessions. There will also be time for a Q&A at the end of the session.
• Designed for students with some experience with sound as a healing modality.

The Medicine of Your Voice: Sonic Embodiment + Medicine Melodies

• Our own voice is one of the most healing instruments we possess. If breath (prana) is the
  expression of our life force, our spirit, then the voice, which rides on the breath, is the outward
  manifestation of our spirit, our soul. In this experiential workshop, we’ll tap into the medicine
  of our voices through exercises and practices encouraging deep listening, intuitive sounding,
  and connecting with the healing power of our own unique sound (Sonic Embodiment). Guided
  by Jessica, we will also dive into our innate power to receive the melodies that live both inside
  and outside of us – which come through ever more clearly as we open to a more expansive and
  curious state of awareness.
• Absolutely no singing experience required; just come with an open mind/heart ready to sound
  and be sounded!
