A Supple Voice

Summer Intensive 2025

Awaken Your Voice &
Deepen Your Listening Presence

A 2-Week Summer Singing Immersion

July 7–17, 2025 | Live online

Experience the laws of form and the fluidity of freedom in your body, in your breath, in your soul, and in your smile.

This isn’t just a singing course.

It’s a gentle, soulful immersion in breath, tone, and presence—an invitation to meet your voice as a pathway to trust, clarity, and deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.

Whether you are a parent longing to sing to your child, a teacher seeking confidence with song, or a seeker looking for a simple, nourishing practice of presence, this summer immersion is a beautiful place to begin.
You don’t need to be a trained singer.
You just need a willingness to listen, breathe, and let your voice unfold.

Singing as a Path of Transformation...

This journey is not just about learning to sing. It is about becoming whole.

Your voice is not separate from you—it is a reflection of your deepest self,
your presence, your being.

From childhood, we are shaped by forces that fragment us—education, trauma, social conditioning, and the pressure to prove, perfect, or perform.

This fragmentation affects our voice. It creates tension, hesitation, and an unconscious holding back of our full presence.

But there is another way.

When we approach singing through A Supple Voice, we are not just exercising our vocal cords. We are awakening to our unconscious habits and learning to move beyond them with awareness, trust, and presence.

Through this work, you are not just finding your voice—you are finding yourself.

  • “One of the best courses I've taken to open up the voice.”

    Marlon H.

This course is an invitation...

An invitation to let go of perfectionism and self-doubt, and instead, embrace the natural beauty and truth of your voice. Together, we will awaken the voice that is already living within you and allow it to become an expression of your true self.

See the work come to life.

Come As You Are. Sing From Where You Are.

  • If YOU HAVE NEVER HAD A VOICE LESSON
    This course will celebrate your courage and honor your process with creative, gentle lessons to awaken your supple voice.

  • IF YOU HAVE BEEN SINGING ALL YOUR LIFE
    whether in the shower or on the stage, this course will bring your voice, body, and soul to a new supple vitality and beauty.

All voices and experience levels are welcome.
This course is especially nourishing for:

  • Waldorf and classroom teachers who want more vocal presence.

  • Parents who want to sing to their children with joy and ease.

  • Spiritual seekers looking for an embodied vocal path.

  • Returning A Supple Voice Students who want to reconnect.

You will learn:

  • The giving and receiving of air without grasping or clinging.

  • Foundational understand of how the tone resonates and moves through your whole body as an instrument.

  • How to relax into the healing power of the tone.

  • The art of the process of developing:
    - a supple body
    - a supple breath
    - a supple soul
    - a supple smile.

  • The practice of unified awareness—being fully with yourself and others in each tone, breath, and moment.

The cultivation of your supple voice is a quest that has no end.

The journey is filled with ever-more-frequent moments when your song becomes self and your self becomes song.

My approach is rooted in the teachings of Valborg Werbeck-Svärdström and her School of Uncovering the Voice. As Werbeck said, “Every human being has a singing voice. Our work is to unveil, take away the hindrances, and free the voice.”

This foundation, along with Rudolf Steiner’s insight around transmuting the breath into song forms the core of our work.

“We have in our breathing a faculty capable of the
highest possible development through the
transmutation of our breathing process into song.”

Rudolf Steiner

By unveiling your voice you are transmuting yourself.

The two-fold deeds of unveiling the voice and transmuting the self through song are two sides of the same coin. These require sequential practices of preparation, centering, and expression, rising into moments of celebration of the self, which in turn opens the heart to a deeper connection with others.

In the “Awaken Your Supple Voice” course, these profound teachings guide you to unveil the natural beauty of your voice and foster a deeper connection with your spirit and the world around you.

  • During the lesson, a new selfhood arose in me. I felt someone other than my usual self was singing.
