I recently sat with a dear friend, and throughout our time together I heard it — that quiet voice inside longing to express itself in a new way.

​

Years ago, she had a painful experience that, since then, has metabolized into incredible wisdom and compassion. Because of how she let this heartbreak inform her, she now embodies a potent and unique medicine she wanted to share with her community. In our first conversation, she said, "But I don't know how to express it. There's no space."

​

​​It is easy to believe our perceived limitations based on someone else’s imagination of who we are. The culture is loud. Our practice is to access and reclaim our OWN imagination, and then dream ourselves bigger than the limiting stories we’ve been told. The invitation is to begin.​

​

We set up a time to go to a cafe, where she told the whole story. I listened and asked simple questions. We were in public. There was a woman sitting across from us working on her laptop. We were not in a studio or a soundproof office space. But all the while, together, we were listening and following that quiet voice inside her already expressing itself.

​

At different points throughout the story, when her words and body aligned, it was like lightning. I paused and said, "What's that?" Her hands and arms came together like an arrow pointing in a very clear direction, to the left of her body. She could feel it too. For the rest of the session, this body language became her compass.

​

Our bodies are constantly communicating with us. Our practice is to learn how to listen, trust, and express this wisdom with courage and compassion.

Got This Voice is an 8-week journey of voice, movement, and story that invites us to listen to the places and parts of us longing to be expressed, embodied, seen, and heard. All of our habitual patterns that show up in our everyday lives and relationships are also showing up in how we have access and agency to expressing our voice and body out loud and on purpose. This 8-week journey invites us to explore these patterns and the stories we tell from the inside out.
