Introducing Sydney Toning Circles
Following on from our World Voice Day Event last month, I am excited to announce preliminary details for two Sydney-based Vocal Toning Circles starting early June 2012.
Vocal Toning is an opportunity to develop a healthier and happier relationship with your own voice and with the voices of others in your life. In each session We will explore together through vocal sound, how our voices can consciously be engaged as powerful instruments of love, healing and harmony.
Over the six Toning Circle sessions you will be introduced to the fundamentals of Vocal Toning for meditation, health and harmony. As the sessions progress more advanced toning techniques will be covered, providing you with a variety of voice-based meditative techniques for relaxation, and self healing. Each session, one of the circle participants will be the focal point of the group providing an opportunity to experience focused healing toning from other circle members.
Where and When
The Toning Circles will be held at my home in Surry Hills, just a few minutes walk from Central Station, starting around 7:30 and finishing before 9pm. If there are sufficient numbers, there will be two concurrent Toning Circles and participants are required to attend the same Toning Circle each fortnight for continuity and group cohesion.
Each Toning Circle will run for 6 evenings in total, one each fortnight. The first will commence on the evening of Tuesday 5 June 2012, going through until the evening of Tuesday 14 August.
The second Toning Circle will commence on the evening of Thursday 14 June 2012 and run through until Thursday 23 August.
Free Info Session and Expressions of Interest
If you were unable to attend our World Voice Day Event, or would like more information, you may wish to attend a Free Vocal Toning Introductory Session, planned for the evening of Thursday 24 May 2012.
The cost for all six Vocal Toning Sessions is $120.
Please email me if you are interested in coming along to the Free Introductory Session, or with your preferred Toning Circle evening (Tuesday or Thursday) to confirm your interest in participating.

A Note about Vocal Toning
Vocal Toning is the elongation of a sound using the breath and voice no matter the quality or pitch of the sound. Unlike singing and speaking, vocal toning frees us of judgment or assessment of the sound, instead focusing our attention on the quality of our intention. When toning we principally use our voice to produce extended vowel sounds, outside the constraints of words, pitch and rhythm.
Vocal toning isn’t reliant on any particular religious beliefs, though it does draw upon ancient wisdom regarding sound across cultures and sacred texts.
