This pre-recorded, self-paced workshop invites participants to explore their voice as a vessel of release, grounding, and resistance.
Centred on embodied sound, the session draws on practices of collective care, trauma-informed movement, and intuitive vocal exploration. Participants will be guided through gentle exercises that help locate where sound lives in the body, encouraging awareness, trust, and liberation through resonance.
Let’s Get Loud, Let’s Get Loud!
The workshop builds on Fa-Zah’s experience as part of Chiron Choir, a QTBIPOC collective that nurtures healing through song and community. Inspired by Pauline Oliveros’ Heart Chant, participants will be invited to experiment with the act of sounding together — even when alone — as a way to access deep listening, compassion, and self-soothing.
For:
This workshop is for anyone who wants to reconnect with their voice as a source of power, expression, or healing. It especially speaks to people who’ve been silenced by systems, by violence, by trauma, by shame. It’s made with care for survivors of male violence, state violence, racism, ableism, and those often excluded from traditional “wellness” spaces. As someone who sings within QTBIPOC community through Chiron Choir, I hold this work in deep solidarity with those whose voices are so often unheard or dismissed.
With Nahdeannah (She/Her)
I am a singer, facilitator, and member of Chiron Choir, a QTBIPOC community choir that centres healing through singing together. For me, singing began as a coping mechanism but has grown into a way of sharing energy, building connection, and moving people towards liberation. My facilitation is shaped by trauma-informed and care-centred practices, and by my own lived experience of seeking freedom and release through sound. I was introduced to Pauline Oliveros’ Heart Chant through Chiron Choir, and this deeply influences my approach. We learnt to treat sound not as performance but as a communal act of listening, resonance, and care. I believe our voices are gifts: they can soothe, protest, defend, make someone laugh, or open up possibilities for connection. My workshops are playful, freeing, and rooted in the idea that every voice matters.
