ARCHIVE (PAST EVENTS): JANUARY 7-10:30-3:30 VOICE AND VISION WORKSHOP- Seattle: INVOKE YOUR BEST YEAR with Grace, High Vibration, Clarity, Empowerment and Delight in Sound: Here is some good news as we set about co-creating the best year yet this 2012: everything- including long-held patterns and this table- is just energy vibrating. And things are created first at the level of subtle vibration (including thoughts and emotions), then move into more dense form. So when we shift things from the more subtle level- through our voices (which are just energy) and imagination and emotions, they naturally and much more easily shift in the realm of form and action! And it can be simpler than you may think, and it is natural as a child’s voice in play. I’ve experienced this directly, as have people around the world in various paths of sound. I encourage you to come to the annual Voice and Vision workshop this Saturday and catch the highest vision for your life, including the many aspects. Then experience how you can integrate your passion (what you care about), your gifts and your voice to really empower that vision. With Grace and sound technology, practices from tantra and the powerful energy of community, we’ll explore how you really can set in a strong support and new pattern for this new year. Now’s the time. As you live your true highest good, its good for all. I hope to see you this Saturday. If you can not make this workshop, but are interested in the sound techniques and support, just message me and we can figure out a way to share it. There will also be a follow-up workshop on January 28, to refine and handle any doubts or other limiting thoughts that may arise. They are natural, arising to come into greater truth. Now’s the time, Beloveds! Sunday, January 15: Guest Musician in Dream Dance Seattle- 7-10:30pm Live art, tea lounge, DJs, and live music. Gathering/opening at 7:30, Gina is sings near the beginning with Michael Maricle, Kevin Wrenn, Masaru Higasa, followed by beats by DJ Jacaranda, dancing and sound healing to close.

Experience more vocal freedom, which influences your whole life. In these series, Gina offers more singing, but also facilitates effective and comfortable warm-ups (including short, momentary daily tips to help support ease in speaking and singing), as well as tips for vocal ease from East and West, breath, tuning and as always, we'll sing some songs and chants and vocal stylings from various traditions. Some Indian vocal practice and mantra is included based on class interest. This is more than a regular voice class, it's nourishment and sustenance for body and mind, and the integrative approach allows for great transformation.. All are welcome, no experience needed. And if you've attended previous series, this one still welcomes you, as they are always new, and deepening continues over time as we open our voices. WHERE: Two Dog Yoga: 12549 28th Ave. NE (N.

January 8th and 9th: 6th Annual Voice and Vision Workshop- Singing in the roots and wings! WHEN: Saturday, January 8th – 12:30-4:30 pm And Sunday, January 9th- 1-4:30 pm. WHAT: Join Gina for a powerful weekend where you are supported in co-creating the best year of your life, finding freedom from limiting beliefs that may have started before you even had words for them! Through sounding practices (tantric, vedic, shamanic, and creative/fun songs), inquiry, and fun exercises we create a vibration that is stronger than false beliefs. Through breath and movement and naming we allow for integration and let what we are co-creating really take root. Participants leave with tools that are simple and fun, that allow the momentum of this workshop to remain rooted and continue to expand for their highest good. And, as a side-benefit, experience for yourself how deep and powerful transformation can be fun. In fact it usually is, when we awaken to our freedom. Join us and discover for yourself. No experience needed, just a willingness to consider opening to your highest good! We are just right on our paths, and we are free! LOCATION: RSVP for address and directions. Seattle area, lovely space. FEE: $110 for both days. Contact Gina for special arrangements or if you need to arrange to come for just one day. This may be the best investment you make all year!
