What does it mean to embody sound? To be heard not just as one, but within a collective?

Join My Blood is My Voice this summer, in a three-part, trans led vocal healing space; exploring the alchemy of fortifying the voice through sounding with sonic embodiment, improvising, sharing and learning songs, and vocal jamming.  We invite you to explore your voice as a tool of expression, release, and connection. Sounding is a method of exploring what the body needs to release tension and expressing this authentically through the voice. It doesn't always mean musical sounds; we are focused on finding frequencies and vibrations which feel instinctive to make when we listen deeply. We will also learn some songs together and explore different tonalities of our voice - to safely explore the range we want to inhabit vocally outside of gender binaries. This work is not about perfection, performance, or pitch. It’s about sounding from the body, from instinct, from the parts of us that need to speak, especially when words fail. Together, we will: • Engage in meditative work and deep listening • Explore sounding and vocal improvisation • Learn and share songs in communion • Utilise the voice as a tool to release tension and discover our expressions • Move gently to support vocal fluidity and embodiment • Reimagine the voice beyond binaries -  and beyond fear • Explore the potentialities within Fortifying the voice as a way to connect to ourselves and the collective Who is it for? These sessions are for anyone curious about their voice - no singing experience needed. This space is trans-led, queer-centred, and trauma-informed. All bodies and experiences are welcome. You can participate actively or just listen. Presence alone is powerful. Come as you are. Let your voice find you. Let us hold that voice together. Every part of the experience is an invitation - never a demand. Our only ask, is that attendees are mindful of who this space was created by and for - as we seek to cultivate the shared tenderness needed to be seen and held in vulnerability
