Toning is making sounds with your voice. This can include open-mouth, out-loud sounds, tones or words, as well as humming. TONING IS A SELF-HEALING PRACTICE.

The idea is to intentionally create sound with your body. We will focus as a group on the intentionality and PRACTICE collective sound, as well as silence.

This is essentially a meditation practice, just not a quiet one. The Toning Meditation Circle is solemn; the intentionality is sacred and powerful. No experience is required.

During the Toning Meditation Circle, we will sit on cusions (backjacks also provided) in a circle and Barbara will lead the group in a short (10 minute) guided meditation, followed by humming and finally open-mouthed toning, in a call-and-response fashion. No one will be asked to hum or tone alone; we will be joining our voices and our nervous systems for a shared experience that transcends silence.

The vibration of your own voice is profoundly healing and soothing to your body (even if you think you don’t “like” your voice). When joined with the voices of those around you, the experience is hard to describe. You will sense power, vulnerability, hope, release and more. Give it a try!
