Within each of us there is a potential so potent, so personal and expressive, that we can actually heal ourselves with it. From ancient cultures to contemporary scientific methods, information about using the voice and sonic vibration for good health is fascinating and astounding. Join Grammy-winner Darlene Koldenhoven in opening a “new” and healing part of you. Learn how to improve your health, eliminate stress, and stay well using music and Your Voice, in her informative, entertaining and rejuvenating adventure with sound, utilizing the many newly researched and proven benefits of music & sound-making for the brain, body and all around health. Guiding you through the space-time code of music, Darlene will demonstrate how you can open your voice and strengthen your ear-voice-body connection while balancing your energy, release stress & emotional blockages, improve circulation, blood pressure, oxygen flow, mental focus, frequency range tuning & more. The pitch & tone of your speaking & singing voice reveals much about your state of mind, health of body, & intent of purpose; that when tuned, returns the body to a state of homeostasis. Discover how the ear is connected to all areas of the body and why deep listening and the vibrations of singing are vital to your mental, physical and even your spiritual health. Dr. Alfred Tomatis, Don Campbell, and many experts say singing (including 'toning') is one of the most healthy activities a person can do for physical and mental health. Exploring a variety of “healing-with-sound” methods from the ancients to modern medicine around the world, you will experience deep breathing, rhythmic entrainment, resonance balancing, sensory connecting, sonic strengthening, & much more. Emerge with a freer, more confident voice, a tuned “ear,” and restored, enriched, balanced, life energy. No singing necessary.

The beauty of her music brought tears and opened our hearts. She is an important addition to any program especially about healing with sound. Darlene is really impressive as a professional performer and as a teacher of healing techniques with sound...–Carl Bohannon, Director, Edgar Cayce A.R.E. Center, Houston
