A workshop to connect to your voice, your expression and intuitive song.
Before humans spoke, we sang. This powerful, primal connection to our soul, our lineages and lands has been muted by modern culture, but not erased. Come remember your wildness and power through one of the most ancient of human technologies: your voice.
You will discover just how versatile an instrument you have as you learn techniques and practices to express what is often deeper than words. We will move, sing, grieve, rage, play, and connect through our voices.
Connect to the pleasure of making sound and practicing some foundational vocal techniques.
Laurel Armstrong will guide us in group practices in Primal Singing where we will use our voice to support and be supported by the larger community.
Know the power of release through voice.
Join us and discover the power of your voice, re-wild its expression, and experience your primal and communal belonging.

Bio:
Laurel Armstrong has been a professional performer and theater-maker for almost 25 years working as an actor, dancer, singer, voice-over artist, writer, composer, and producer. After some life-changing experiences with the Great Mother, she shifted her focus to projects and practices that connect the body to spirit, the individual to community (living and dead), and humans to the land.
Primal Singing is the practice she created from combining techniques of Western vocal training, essential elements of traditional folk-singing, animist-somatic practices, and her never-ending curiosity about all the ways humans can human.
She currently leads regular Primal Singing workshops at places such as the Acorn and is a member of Wonderlust Theater Company in Saint Paul which works at the intersections of art, story, and community. She also recently opened her own practice, SAP (Sacred and Primal) to help individuals and groups connect more deeply to their innate and sensual life-force through somatic, spiritual, and creative practices.
