WORKSHOP DETAILS
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? As a meditative technique, vocal toning spontaneously induces altered states of consciousness, and can be harnessed additionally for cognitive, emotional, physical, and spiritual satisfaction and wellness.

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).

MORE INFORMATION
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.

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.

I am genuinely thankful to Samara for inviting me on this journey."
