Love to sing? All voices, abilities and perceived inabilities welcome.\n\n#### **Let’s reclaim our voice as a sacred gateway:**\n\n- To connect and reconnect to ourselves, each other, Nature and the Divine\n- To cultivate mindful presence, confidence, healthy nervous system regulation, and transmute emotional wounds into well-being.\n- To unlock flow states, the ability to channel, improvise, and unleash our spontaneous creativity and intuition\n- To enter altered states of consciousness, carry our prayers, and cast the healing and manifesting magic of our attention and intention\n- To authentically express our experience, wishes and boundaries, and share our unique and much-needed gifts into the world\n- To experience freedom, play, fun and silliness.\n\n#### **Sessions include:**\n\n- Gentle and playful vocal warm-ups with embodied movement practices.\n- Meditative and somatic practices using voice, attention and intention as tools to regulate the nervous system and work with energy.\n- Accessible introductions to various singing techniques from around the world, from shamanic and indigenous styles to toning, nature sounds, jazz scat and beatboxing.\n- Collective vocal improvisation jam to co-create music together, supported by games, tips and tricks to help us explore our way into group improvisation.\n- Sound journey: from relaxing sound baths to shamanic drum journeys, with some guided visualisation conducive to meditative trance states. Kat and guest musicians will layer vocal harmonies with world music instruments and shamanic drum beats on the live loop machine. An opportunity to relax and integrate, or journey deep with intention.\n- Social tea break to gather ourselves and connect as a community.\n\n \n\n### WORKSHOP TRAILER:\n\n<oembed url=\"https://youtu.be/ODYhGHG0msY\"></oembed>\n\n### REVIEWS:\n\nSaffran says:\n\n> Heart opening, voice opening, beautifully held: I loved the session I did with Kat. She helped us do things we'd never done before, while always feeling safe and nurtured. I couldn't recommend it more for those who want to explore their voices (whether they are\"singers\" or \"not singers\" 😊 )\n\n \n\n### **9 DATES:**\n\n**DROP INTO ANY SESSION…** Or join us for the whole 9 month journey.\n\n- Sat 17th Oct 2026 - Root: Supported by Strong Foundations\n\n[- Sat 14th Nov 2026 - Earth: Underworld & Ancestors](https://dandelion.events/e/vim-november)\n\n- Dec 2026 - Sacral: Creativity through Feeling and Relating\n\n- Jan 2027 - Solar Plexus: Sovereignty of the Self\n\n- Feb 2027 - Heart: The Rhythm and Breath of Compassion\n\n- March 2027 - Throat: Expressing and Manifesting through Creativity\n\n- April 2027 - 3rd Eye: Imagination as Gateway to the Spirit Worlds\n\n- May 2027 - Crown: Oneness and the Bliss Body\n\n- June 2027 - Soul Star: Finding Purpose through Flow\n\nEach session is themed around a chakra, and I will sometimes be joined by guest co-facilitators and musicians, so join the WhatsApp group for updates, like-minded connections, and herbal tea flavour requests:\n\n[WhatsApp community invite link](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JQFyJOzMRVp7Fj4uXGURue)\n\n### **THE PRACTICALS**\n\n**Venue:**\n\nEVOKE, Unit A Rowan Apartments, Seven Sisters Road, London, England, N4 1FS\n\n**Time:**\n\n14:45 - 18:00\n\n**What to bring:**\n\n- Wear comfortable clothes to move into\n- Water bottle for hydration\n- Notebook and pen to journal\n- Reusable mug for the tea break\n\nThis is a Drug and Alcohol free event - Over 18 only\n\nParts of the event may be filmed/photographed for future promotion.\n\nRefund Policy: No refunds.

So that music becomes medicine for our creative expression, self-empowerment, healing and spiritual connection.\n\n### STAY IN THE LOOP:\n\n> [JOIN](https://www.katbonny.coJOIN)[Kat's Newsletter](https://www.katbonny.com/)\n\n> [Join the VOCAL IMPROV MEDICINE WhatsApp community](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JQFyJOzMRVp7Fj4uXGURue)\n\n>  [Insta @katbonnymusic](https://www.instagram.com/katbonnymusic/#)\n\n> [Youtube @katbonnymusic ](https://www.youtube.com/@katbonnymusic)\n\n> [Listen to / Buy Kat's Music](https://katbonny.bandcamp.com/)\n\n> [www.katbonny.com](http://www.katbonny.com)\n\n####  \n\n#### THANK YOU for being here\n\n_See you in the wild places!_",
