Seen & Heard: Reclaiming the Voice as a Sacred Instrument Workshop

Seen & Heard: Reclaiming the Voice as a Sacred Instrument

This workshop is for singers, performers, and artists who have felt the sting of perfectionism, burnout, or disconnection from their voice. Whether you’re returning to the stage or simply longing to feel more at home in your own sound, this space is designed to meet you there. We’ll work with the voice not just as a technical tool, but as an extension of the nervous system—a site of healing, power, and presence. Through a blend of somatic voicework, breath practice, and trauma-informed performance tools, participants will be guided to soften performance anxiety, reconnect to their body, and explore voice as a form of self-witnessing and creative expression.

Rooted in vocal pedagogy and nervous system science—but infused with warmth and play—Seen & Heard invites you to reimagine what it means to be fully expressed, without needing to prove or perfect. You don’t need to identify as a professional singer. You just need to have a voice—and a desire to use it in a way that feels true.

Dates: July 26, 2025 from 12 pm - 4 pm

Location: Grindstone Studio (9562 82 Ave NW)

Instructor: Sierra Jamerson

Prerequisite: NA

Showcase: There is no showcase for this class

Cost: $225 +GST (there is no early bird for this workshop)
