About Free Your Voice…

Before my young children awaken, my morning ritual is to light a candle, incense my body and spirit, step outside to pray, sing, and dance the sun up, then return indoors to sip coffee and readfrom Silvia Nakkach’swonderful book,Free Your Voice: Awaken to Life Through Singing. As a choir director, sound healer, and performing artist, I find therein a vast well of exercises and teachings to integrate into my work.

Reading Silvia’s book is akin to having a master teacher beside me every day. I return again and again to her insights about the mystical path of the voice; her words refresh my soul and invigorate my very breath, fueling my desire to sing (and listen deeply) as a daily devotion. Each day, I can approach the textwith new eyes and find a pearl of wisdom for this moment, this breath. I am ever grateful for this storehouse of knowledge and guidance for all the singers and seekers of the world.

Free Your Voice is an absolute treasure for anyone who desires greater connection to the subtle influences of breath and tone, who aspires to enliven their mind, body and spirit with a daily singing practice, who longs to transform old energetic patterns into new, liberated pathways.
