Healing Towards Joy:
The Art of Voice
How can you access the fullness of your voice in public?
In this interactive workshop, we hope you’ll walk away with trauma-informed creative practices rooted in the latest research in somatic psychology and music therapy on how to connect with the joy of voice and public speaking.
Your guide, Melissa Andrada (mel - they/she), will share hard-earned and heartfelt wisdom on speaking on stage as a survivor of Big T trauma and once painfully shy kid who went to become a CEO of a global collective.
