Awaken Your Voice
An 8-Week Vocal Exploration with Aphieme
Tuesdays, November 4 – December 23 | 5:30–7 PM
Join Aphieme for an immersive 8-week journey into the heart of sound and song before she departs for India this winter to continue her studies. Awaken Your Voice is an invitation to reconnect with your natural instrument - your voice - as a tool for healing, meditation, and community resonance.
Each session begins with a consecration and Om, setting intention to align our personal will with the highest good for all. From there, we’ll engage in vocal warm-ups in a chosen Raga, followed by devotional singing practice - weaving together Indian and Western musical traditions to awaken new dimensions of listening and expression.
This series offers a safe and nurturing space to explore your voice, soothe and co-regulate the nervous system, and experience the harmonizing power of vibrational medicine. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced singer, all are welcome.
Together we’ll:
Feel into the distinctions and bridges between Indian and Western music.
Learn heart medicine songs and practice leading a group in song.
Work with ascending and descending notes (Raga / Sargam: Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa) to develop range and sensitivity.
Engage in Paltas — dynamic exercises that explore the raga from multiple directions.
Use the voice as a portal into meditative states and coherent group energy.
Experience song as a catalyst for transformation, spiritual growth, and collective healing.
(Optional) Toward the end of the series, those who wish may sing individually in front of Aphieme — a method inspired by her training in India that allows everyone to learn through shared experience.
