IRL WORKSHOP: Tuesday 9/3! ♾️The Sounding Body👤👥🔊🪽🪽♾️ with Salomé of from 6-730pm

$25 drop-in or free for studio members! Limited spots. Pre-register^

Zero experience or special skill set required.

“Listening affects what is sounding. It is a symbiotic relationship. As you listen, the environment is enlivened” - Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening
 
 
In The Sounding Body, we will invite the rediscovery of our voice(s) beyond who we have known them to be.
 
Through a series of somatic practices, we will tune into our voice as it is, relaxing and releasing strain to open a variety of textures, sensations and layers of voice. We will listen—to our own voice and the voice of the other—as compassionate witnesses.
   
What voices or selves are resting dormant, waiting to be expressed? What is the relationship between voice and movement, and how do they influence one another?
 
We will orient toward pleasure—becoming responsive organisms that move and sound according to our own impulses. Carving out these pathways with care and intention, we gain practical everyday tools to tune into our innate instinct for expression and connection through sound and movement.
 
 
Access info:

No prior experience or skill set around dance or vocal work is required! This workshop is for anyone curious and open to a process of discovery with their voice + movement.
 
Bring a journal to write and draw in!

Pre-register! Drop in, or access unlimited classes + events with our monthly Studio Membership. :~)

Facilitator bio:
 
Inga is an artist of sorts—working with canvas and paint, paper and plaster, wood and shavings, objects and spaces, conversations and relations—focused on creating connection.
 
She began LLD (Ladies Life Draw) over 8 years ago in the intimate setting of her Brooklyn apartment, from which it grew into a widely attended gathering in various venues across NYC.
 
Over the years, Inga has opened her home to an array of events, including moon ceremonies, sound baths, yoga and ceramics classes, and tarot readings. Elsewhere, Inge has helped create many spaces, including a coffee shop, a healthy fast food concept restaurant, a fine objects store, a natural wine bar, a natural wine shop and a q***r bar.
 
Inge is fascinated by every facet of a created “space”—design languages, interiors, tastes and textures—how they enter through the senses into our internal worlds, and then reflect back out and beyond as a shared experience.

Facilitator bio:

Moth is a visual artist, tattoo artist, and former professional dancer.  With a complex history of rigorous training in classical ballet, modern and contemporary dance, Moth now relates to movement as expressive release and tending through fluid mindbody states.
 
This background informs their work of creating fantastical tattoos that integrate with the body landscape.  At the heart of their practice is q***r ritual: body modification as transmutation, self-determination, and devotion to one’s own physical form.

🪽ABOUT

Kin Class—an ongoing discussion and masterclass series founded by the artist Kinlaw—offers a refreshing re-approach to crit and artist-to-artist workshare.

Kinlaw’s class works as a performance tool, offering new perspectives around artists’ permissions and impulse. No need to prepare anything in advance—we will use our voice! We’ll move! We’ll play with the influence we have over the other, observing these percentages as opportunities to play and discover something new. All levels welcome and no experience necessary.

Class includes a dose of .world ‘s Vital Mood Tonic—an herbal tincture to draw focus + expand creative energy.

Workshop includes collective vocalization, movement and eye contact. Solo vocalization and physical contact with other participants during movement are entirely optional.

🧩 GEᑎESIS … or as friends call it, “everything tea” or “beauty tea” …

This formula (our *only* tea blend) has become a bit of a cult favorite, even though I’ve never posted about it before.

If we know each other IRL, you’ve seen me walking around with a giant jar of this stuff. I snuck it into the webshop last year, for friends and private clients who were recovering from surgery/injury—but the applications for this blend are pretty endless.

Had been waiting to announce it til I could afford some fancy packaging… and we’re still not quite there. Grab some now and I’ll send you a discount code when we launch it in full form. Thanks for your support!! :~)

GENESIS works by…

GENERATING cells
(brain + nerve + joint + muscle + hair + skin + nails)
 
and MOVING fluids
(lymph + blood + water)

to SUPPORT
+ mood
+ beauty
+ digestion
+ immunity
+ mobility

Zero caffeine.

A blend of gorgeous, freshly dried, small batch, locally grown herbs.

This Sunday! (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾.｡.:* ✿⁣ PEACE SCREAM ✿⁣ a vocal meditation + live sound bath with ｡.:* ✿⁣

2-330pm at GOODWITCH Studio, Hudson

Herbs will be provided to open the breath and protect the vocal chords. 

No experience necessary!

Sliding scale, NOTAFLF

(● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾.｡.:* ✿⁣

We use our voices every day to communicate, but the power of vocal sound extends far beyond language and social utility. With intentional practice, the human voice becomes a powerful instrument that can nurture energy flow (qi) in the body. This is “voicework”, a sister of breathwork.

Our guided scream meditation will allow us to tap into the power of the voice in an intimate, collective environment. First we warm up the voice and body through tone immersions and qi-gong exercises, then we scream together. Screaming is a lovely energetic conveyor for emotional release—of anger, fear, or anything else that just can’t seem to find another way out. Channel the energy of the human voice! Last, we’ll ground with a live sound bath.  

✿⁣

Yullola is a music artist from New York whose work fuses surreal, absurd elements of spirituality with pop soundscapes. She spent her childhood training in hindustani classical music and singing in a gospel choir, culturing a love for using her voice as an instrument. Her creative process also integrates dance to feel how sounds move through the body. Exploring the spectrum from club music to ancient herding calls, she is obsessed with the power of sound.

THE FIVE ELEMENTS (ᗰETᗩᒪ, ᗯᗩTEᖇ, ᗯOOᗪ, ᖴIᖇE, EᗩᖇTᕼ) ARE THE UNDERLYING ENERGIES THAT COMPRISE ALL THINGS...⁣
⁣
Each Winter, the emergence of Water energy draws us inward. Bodies contract and retreat into shelter. A downward flow calls us to introspection, where consciousness pools and reflects in the deep recesses of our being. It is now we have utmost access to our inner selves— the abyss beneath the ice.⁣
⁣
Restoration happens here, when we aren’t in action in the world or even making plans. Surrendering to stillness, time stops. We descend to a place where consciousness resembles an infinitely mirrored pool. Reflection (-reflection-reflection-) is our only movement. We are contained, yet boundlessly deep...⁣

invigorating support for immunity + allergies + mood

🧩 If your mind and body feel lax/boggy/stagnant/achey, you’ll love this one for boosting blood and lymph circulation and the elimination of metabolic waste (aka toxins).

🧩 If you experience histamine sensitivity or allergies of any kind, this formula might blow your mind a little extra. *Now* is the time to start prepping your immune system for allergy season if you want to avoid OTC antihistamines this spring.

🧩 Maybe you’re just into the idea of yummy preventative immune support or a unique mood altering experience.


This is our first “allergy” remedy, but it’s honestly so much more than that. All the ingredients are multitalented :~)

I consider it foremost a universal mood and immune tonic, and an alterative* to support overall health.


🌱
 
Primal Sap was inspired by Dyonisis, the Greek god of sap and the lifeblood aspect of nature, and a Dyonisian vision of “Nature” as an unrelenting, chaotic and even violent force of fertility/creativity (especially in Aeschylus’s Eumenides and Nietzsche’s The Gay Science).

This formula is for deepening your relationship with “Nature” and drawing upon that connection as a source of power—feeling the pulse of the sap in your veins. A roar in a bottle.

I was also inspired by the history of Nettles, in ancient cultures across the world, during warfare and the hunt as medicine for vitality, courage and pain relief.
