Thank you for
your dedication to what is real; you are so inspiring. I
never knew I could find such peace and joy inside of me through
movement. I never knew myself so wholely. There are no words to
describe what you do; this work is profound.
I wish everyone could know themselves as I have learned to through
Authentic Movement . . and, now, through the voicework.
I never knew I had a voice to sing with; I am still amazed! But there
is so much joy that comes to me when a certain pitch/tone
comes through me.”
--Mary O'Keefe, over 7 year participant Minnesota

I will feel forever grateful to have experienced Authentic Movement
under your compassionate guidance and witnessing.
It has been a life-changing evolvement of experiences that has and will
continue to change and enrich my life. - participant

Retreats
Vessel of
Voices retreats are for people ready to immerse themselves in
discovering more of their own creative potential. True
transformation must happen in our bodies and in our voices; otherwise
it is just an idea. Transformation occurs through the body’s natural
movements, the full potential of the human voice (no singing background
necessary), and finding a place within your own self and in the
collective that truly touches your spirit.

conducted with a deep respect for the dolphins and their natural
habitat. Be ready to have your heart ‘broken open’ into a field of
play, spontaneity, and love.

Vessel of Voices Heart-focused Healing and Transformation
- Voice
and Movement:
Spirited Healing & Transformation:
These retreats weave together Authentic Movement
and Voice Movement Therapy; the two
disciplines are beautifully complementary. Authentic Movement provides
a safe and powerful ground (with a rich history) for exploration and
expansion of physical movements, gestures, and emotional
expressiveness. VMT provides vocal tools and creative structure for
self-directed sounding and moving. Elements of Voice Movement Therapy
are introduced developmentally with great regard for the collective
pace and rhythm as well as individual needs and processes.

3. Meditation
and Visualization:
Healing Tao System
is a basic foundation for healing and growth; Roxanna leads
participants through guided visualizations, stress reduction
activities, yogic breathwork and other movements for opening body and
breathing.
If you listen, not to the pages or
preachers,
but to the smallest flower growing from a crack in your heart, you will
hear a great song moving across a wide ocean
whose water is the music connecting all the islands of the universe
together, and touching all you will feel it touching you around you . .
. embracing you with light.
It is in that light that everything lives and will always be alive.
-poem by John Squadra from This Ecstasy

Creative Process as Centering:
These are unique creative workshops utilizing various art media as a
pathway to the soul. Creating art is innately healing. When you
approach art making with a ‘beginner’s mind’ and a playful attitude in
a natural setting, you may experience profoundly deep healing &
spiritual emergence!
