WORKSHOP DETAILS
✨Are you curious how something as accessible as your natural voice can help calm a busy mind, lower breath rate and blood pressure, and ease tension and stress? Vocal toning is a simple but powerful meditative technique that can be used not only to deepen self-awareness but also to support cognitive, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

In this introductory workshop, I will instruct participants 1) how to set an intention in sound therapy settings, 2) lead participants in group toning practices followed by a guided meditation so that these benefits can be experienced empirically for themselves, and 3) teach participants a solo practice of vocal toning that they can use whenever they would like... forever!
No previous vocal training or ability is required to benefit from these techniques!

WORKSHOP COST STRUCTURE
- $25 (supported fee)
- $30 (regular fee)
- $35 (pay-it-forward fee)

This sliding scale is based on what you feel you are able to contribute. (This is offered in good faith as I believe so many can benefit from this technique!).
E-transfer (upon booking) to mail@samaragarfinkle.com with "vocal toning workshop" in the transfer description. Your spot will be reserved once payment is received. Cash will be accepted at the door only if there is space still available.
There is an approximate maximum of 10 participants that this space can accommodate.

WHAT TO BRING? It is recommended that participants bring a notebook and pen for note-taking (if you would like to continue this practice outside of the context of the workshop), as well as a water bottle to stay hydrated. All other materials are provided by the yoga studio (e.g.: regular chairs, meditation chairs, blankets, etc).

*** I offer a closed vocal toning series during the Fall (September-December) that provides a deeper and more communal experience of vocal toning as a practice with an on-going community. My Saturday group is FULL, but there are 3 spots remaining for Tuesdays.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS SERIES:
Are you curious about how you can reduce mind-wandering, cortisol (the primary stress hormone), blood pressure, breath rate, and elevate feelings of well-being — with nothing but your natural voice?

This series is open to complete beginners and to those who have worked with me before. There is absolutely *zero* vocal experience or skill required to benefit from this meditative breathwork technique; if you can speak, you can tone.

This series (offered either on Saturdays or Tuesdays over 8 biweekly sessions) is ideal for depth and breadth of practice with the same continuous and intimate group.

You can contact me directly at mail@samaragarfinkle.com for more information or to set up a complimentary phone call.

All participants additionally receive a PDF copy of my "Individual Vocal Toning Practice Manual" for optional at-home exploration.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
"I never quite understood a meditative state, until I started these vocal toning sessions with Samara. I have felt lingering vibrations in my body from toning that have helped me to heal soreness, clear my mind, and even inspire creativity. It’s a life-changing and mind-blowing experience.
I am genuinely thankful to Samara for inviting me on this journey."
- Adriana, Series Participant

"This was by far the best therapeutic experience I've had. Exchanging energy with other people feels empowering and refreshing. It allowed me to connect with myself and heal parts of me I've been neglecting. Thank you, Samara."
