Weaving the Vocal Tapestry: A Day of Voice, Improvisation and Circlesinging

This day retreat departs from traditional sitting practice to explore voice and group cohesion through improvisation. Onomé guides participants in spontaneous vocal composition—creating songs and soundscapes in real time, rather than learning fixed material. The work emphasizes listening, attunement, self-trust, and play as entry points into the practice.

The retreat is structured around vocal improv techniques, group circlesinging, and developing awareness through collective sound-making. This approach mirrors contemplative practice—sustained attention, responsiveness to what's happening, presence with others—but channels it through the voice and group dynamic rather than silent sitting.
