Friday, May 22 | 6:00–8:30 PM | Hidden Temple (Florence, MA)
In overwhelming times, many of us become disconnected, numb, and far from our own aliveness. This workshop is an invitation to reclaim vitality by turning toward what is true, together, through the body and the voice.
Rooted in Joanna Macy’s The Work That Reconnects and co-facilitated by Caitlin Elsaesser and Kelly Vogel, this gathering weaves together meditation, shared inquiry, song, humming, toning, gentle vocal exploration, and collective ritual. The voice can help soften numbness, release frozen energy, and reconnect us with breath, feeling, and life force.
Together, we will move through the spiral of The Work That Reconnects: grounding in gratitude, making space for our heartache for the world, opening to new ways of seeing, and listening for what is ours to do. Through accessible, beginner-friendly vocal practices, we will explore how sound can help us stay present to sorrow without shutting down, and remember that grief and aliveness can live side by side.
This is not about performing or sounding a certain way. It is about returning to the wisdom of the body, the power of collective voice, and the possibility that what aches in us can also become a doorway back to connection.
All voices are welcome. No singing experience is needed.
Come as you are. Leave more connected to your voice, your heart, and your aliveness.
