The Brothers Koren invite you to experience the power of your own voice medicine and awaken your healing voice to experience wholeness, vitality, and connection. The Brothers Koren are transformational voice leaders, artists, and musical journey-men who study, guide, and facilitate voice-positive experiences around the world, for voices of all levels of experience.

They will set a loving, non-judgmental, and safe space for you to reclaim the healing power and connection to both your speaking and singing voice, while grounding into the gravity of your whole body instrument, ultimately becoming your own sonic healer.

Together we will practice:

  • Coming Home To Your Whole Body Instrument: Experience your voice as an embodied bridge between all parts of you, creating a strong sense of wholeness.
  • Using Music As Medicine: Experience the healing power of music and Awaken to your Sonic Anatomy.
  • Vocal Toning For Health and Well-being: Learn intentional singing and overtone voice scanning techniques, that will help you move past stuck emotions and inhibitive behaviors and give you a deep sense of freedom and joy.

This long weekend will be filled with embodied voice experiences for beginners and professionals alike. No matter what your level of experience, there is no prior knowledge of singing required. The weekend will also create a container to ‘dare to suck’, a return to a playful approach to the voice.
