Sweet Release is a one-day workshop, focused on freeing your expressive self through movement and voice. The goal of this workshop is to facilitate true expression of self through quieting the mind and allowing the deeper self to emerge, by spontaneous expression itself through body and voice. Together we will create a safe container for deepening, to allow authenticity to emerge that is not mind-directed.

The Sweet Release workshop includes:

• Quieting the mind
• Using breath to contact ourselves more deeply
• Identify "stucks" ... and tenderly allow them to move and sing
• Guided movement and vocalization
• Improvisational movement and vocalization
• Chakra chanting
• Interactive group expression

Rebecca Johnson is a Certified Vocal Coach and has been teaching voice in Boulder since 1996. She is also a Certified Nutritionist with 8 years of experience in body awareness and holistic health. She uses feeling, movement and sound to help you feel comfort, self-acceptance and joy through singing.

The following quotations embody the approach I take to teaching voice:

We speak of the body as an instrument of expression, but it is more like a whole orchestra. Each separate part has its own quality of movement unlike any other part.

— Barbara Mettler

Sound is not viewed as a physical phenomenon created by the vocal cords, but rather as a living energy that may manifest through those attuned to become vehicles for it.  It involves a use of the imagination as well as a total letting go of control and surrendering to trust.  If we try to control the sound as opposed to becoming the sound, we can never achieve this next level.

— Jonathan Goldman
