How To Sing
A New Workshop from Theory of Enchantment
In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: “When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence? - Gabrielle Roth

Greetings friends, happy Summer!
I’m here to announce an all new workshop from Theory of Enchantment called How To Sing!
But first, why am I doing this workshop?
Well, simply put, singing has saved me. It continues to save me every day. As many of you know I have been hit by a wave of grief I’ve never known after my parents disowned me for being bisexual; and what has helped me move through these emotions of grief and sadness has been singing.
When I’m sad, I sing. When I’m angry I sing. When I’m happy I sing. And by singing, I’m able to give expression to what is. I’m able to be present with what is and what I discover when I’m able to be present with what is is that what is, changes. Emotions shift. Waves titrate and energy swells and then plateaus, just like songs.
This singing thing is a godsend because it helps me surf the waves of my emotions, and it brings relief and solace to my aching heart.
And yet I know that soooo many adults in the world don’t let themselves sing even though they want to. They might feel like they don’t sound good when they sing or they were told not to sing when they were kids. This is a shame because singing is literal medicine.
So I designed a 2-hour workshop to help adults get over their fear of singing and let your voices ring out just as you were designed to do.
This workshop is mostly games and activities. Its hands on, meaning there’s not a lot of lecture-based content and it isn’t very heady; it is super super fun though and I promise you’ll have a good time and maybe even a revelation or two about the joys of discovering your own voice.
So, if you want to join, I’d love to have you! Details below!

I understand that this piece is about your new workshop, but I have to say -- I cannot imagine having you as a daughter and giving up the chance to know you and love you completely. You seem absolutely brilliant and incredible, and with such a golden heart. Absolutely too bad for them, and to the maximum. May we all make peace with our parents for them being the flawed human beings that they are, for operating from the pain they have endured, and so on. And, and, and. I'm just so sorry to hear you have gone through this. As a mother, I cannot imagine being *your mother* and being deprived of the gift of knowing you and loving you through and through and through. (Also, your workshop sounds wonderful. Best wishes for it.)
