The heart yearns to be heard and to connect with others. But sometimes our ability to express ourselves is choked by the memory of times when we took personal risks and were shut down.

For the July gathering of the Exploring the Power of Voice Meetup Group, we’ll explore the role of voice as a medium for the expression of deeply felt emotions. We’ll reflect on vulnerability, the critical element in finding relief from our distress and in expressing ourselves authentically. As always, we’ll work—and play!—to create a welcoming community, a safe space in which to share with one another our heartfelt truths.

Every Exploring the Power of Voice gathering is unique, but each event includes activities crafted to help us claim our authentic voices. With sing-alongs, lessons on vocal technique, demonstrations, improv games, and other individual and group exercises, we aim to encourage, energize, and surprise one another—and ourselves.

Whether you’re an experienced singer or speaker or a beginner, come join the fun!

Suggested donation: $5. You may use our Contribute page on Meetup.com or contribute by cash or check at the event. We welcome your donation, but it’s not a requirement for participation in our gathering.
