Discover for yourself how singing raises inner peace, confidence, and joy.
Welcome to a singing community of song, sisterhood, and support. Through singing you’ll discover techniques to grow your confidence, be comfortable taking up space, and be heard. You’ll learn to fill yourself with your own healing frequencies through movement, breath, and sound as you release stress and physical pain.
Radiant Heart Song Circle is an intimate circle where women gather to grow their confidence, express their authentic voices, and support each other to shine. The Song Circles are led by composer and transformational voice coach, Juie Blue, who weaves effective and grounded vocal coaching with soul-liberating rituals and chants.
In this upcoming 8-week program you will:

Discover the keys to making singing and speaking easy.
Release negative beliefs and limitations.
Feel grounded and inspired so you can share your song, story, gifts, and wisdom.
Be part of a community where you are supported to share both your strength and vulnerability.
Learn how to have a singing/chanting practice of your own to keep you grounded through challenging times.
Feel the power of connection to self and others.
Bring out your richest most resonant voice so people can not only hear you but FEEL you.

Whether you’re a seasoned singer or just starting out, you’ll be guided and supported to learn some well-known songs, explore different musical genres, and sing some of my soulful songs, African chants, and powerful Sanskrit traditional chants.
“The song circle with Julie not only helped me to be a better singer, it had helped me in being more assertive and confident with the way I carry myself throughout the world.”

Tasting Aliveness

A 3-Day Retreat for Coming Home to This Very Life

with Lisa Genki Gibson & Brooke Teisui McNamara
October 24-27, 2024
REGISTER HERE

From every angle, the world around us is becoming more fractured, destabilized, and complex. Rather than turning towards each other in difficult times, in many places we are pulling apart, creating more divisions and becoming isolated exactly at a time when we need each other most. We are faced with vast uncertainty while being flooded with suffering, destruction, and heartbreak in so many domains.

The TASTING ALIVENESS 3-day in-person retreat is an invitation to experience the vitality, creativity and wonder that is available to you in each moment. Designed to support beginners and seasoned practitioners alike, this retreat is an opportunity for you to come home to this very life in all of its beauty and messiness, and to anchor yourself in the steadiness of the breath, wisdom of the body, and the ever-present liberation we can always taste and realize here and now.

Integrating timeless teachings of the Zen tradition with the gentle power of interpersonal practices, pathways into aliveness and creativity, and restorative movement, we will awaken, deepen, and unfold ~ together. We will sit as stillness, move with the breath, and practice frameworks for accessing more vivid, authentic experiences and expressions of the here and now. We will bring a generous spirit to whatever arises, awakening our unique forms of compassion and skillful action. It will be a weekend full of stillness, connection, play and inquiry. We hope you can join us.

DETAILS:

Join us in beautiful Vancouver BC to experience liberation, connection, and aliveness.
