Hellooo dears,

When Women Wail' is a somatic vocal practice for women and femmes exploring the traditions and techniques of wailing. Because wailing is at its heart a grief tradition, we open by exploring traditional grief songs from around the world, and then explore somatics and techniques to open our voices safely and playfully.

We'll have 3.5 hours together, and because this work is as much about the body as it is about the voice, we'll be weaving in somatic practices to help you drop in, open up, and truly feel what moves through you.

Somethings you might want for our time together are:

Water and/or tea (I will have both)
A journal (optional)
Comfortable clothes (we wont be doing anything too crazy but wear clothes that let you move and breathe)
A private space where you can make sound freely

A few things before we enter this space together:

Camera presence

My ask is that you please keep your camera on if you're able. This is a reciprocal exchange of energy. Your presence (even through a screen) matters. It helps me feel you. If you need to turn off your camera at any point to take care of yourself, that's absolutely okay but please try to be present and online when you can.

Permission to be messy

This work is not possible without a willingness to make ugly sounds, lose your way vocally, and surrender to emotion. We are stepping outside of performance and into raw, felt expression. There is no right way to sound here so welcome yourself as you are.

Aftercare reminder

After the workshop, drink extra water, nourish yourself well, journal if you need, rest if you can, and be gentle with yourself. Sometimes when we move a lot of energy through the body, we can feel a little emotionally or energetically drained afterward. That’s completely normal.

If you have any questions, feel free to reply to this email.

See you all very soon,

Rebecca
