Find your voice anew, and encounter the uniqueness of other peoples’ voices. We invite you to experience the warmth and the space during the one-time occurrence when we raise our voices together. The aim of the voice circle is to connect with others through your voice and find resonance with one other. Set your voice free, and listen to your own voice and the voices of others during our time together.
