A day of voice, connection and authentic human relating - with Anthony Johnston
We all have a voice. It's an essential part of being human. And there is something profoundly human about giving voice to what lives within us. This is an opportunity to get to know your voice, to allow it and to trust it.
Open to singers and non-singers alike. Come as you are. No previous experience is needed - just an openness to explore and a willingness to discover
About the workshop
Our voice is far more than something we use to sing. It is one of the primary ways we meet the world and one another.
Many of us learn to hold our voices back. We become cautious about saying what we really mean, self-conscious about singing, or concerned about how we might be judged. Over time, we can lose touch with the natural ease and spontaneity with which we once expressed ourselves.
This workshop is an invitation to rediscover a voice that feels most naturally 'you', most at ease, and most fully your own.
We'll explore how the natural voice can become a doorway to more authentic communication, richer relationships, and greater ease in yourself and with others.
The invitation is simply to arrive as you are, give voice to what is true, and discover more of what unfolds.
How we'll be working
At the heart of this workshop is choice.
You will never be pressured into taking part in an exercise you're not yet ready for. You explore at your own pace and you will be met with openness, acceptance and careful facilitation.
This work is informed by therapeutic values and boundaries - including mutual respect, choice and confidentiality - but it is not therapy.
Who Is This Workshop For?
This workshop may be for you if you:
-
Would like to feel greater freedom and ease in using your voice.
-
Are tired of holding yourself back through fear of judgement or getting things wrong.
-
Enjoy singing - but sense there's more of you wanting to be expressed.
-
Would like to relate to others with greater openness, honesty and ease.
-
Sense there's more of your voice waiting to be discovered.
-
Would like to relate to others with greater openness, honesty and ease.
Whether you're an experienced singer or you've never considered yourself "a singer", you are warmly welcome.
Reflections and Comments from Previous Participants
"Quite the deep dive for a one-day workshop! I have rarely used my voice to sing ... you enabled me to feel a freedom I'd never experienced, and I'm deeply grateful. You created such a compassionate space. I hope to sing with you again."
Sarah Mitchell
"Anthony held us at the very edge of our comfort zone with such skill and care that we were able to choose just how much we wanted to open ourselves..."
Fergus Ryan
"I loved your skill in seeing and hearing people. It felt respectful, clear and powerful, and you never overstepped the mark. I really admired the way you encouraged non-judgement and not giving advice, just witnessing and the power of presence."
