Monique Minahan’s Exploring Grief in the Body workshop, which takes place 2-4 pm on Saturday, March 14, follows her earlier seminar that explained how sensation and emotion move through the body, and the use of embodied anchors to create freedom to proceed in whatever way feels safest. The new workshop presents an opportunity to inquire deeper into your own body, find embodied safety, support, and uncover innate resources, insights, and your unique next step inward or onward. The tools of trauma-informed movement, mindfulness, insightful questions and conscious listening allow you to welcome your grief however it shows up. The event includes slow, full-body movement, and exploring the power of the voice in community. Fee: $30 in advance, $35 day-of.

Holistic Health, Voice & Lifestyle Coach Britta GreenViolet, the co-creator of the non-audition community choir inCourage Chorus, adds to her repertoire of offerings a new two-hour workshop from 3-5 pm on Saturday, March 14. Meet Your Voice is an experiential, dynamic workshop that represents a deep dive into the transformative power of singing and its power to heal emotional, mental and physical wounds. Participants will learn two simple exercises to ease you into the foundations of singing and to start befriending your voice in a non-scary, non-judgmental environment and engage in discussion, technique, exercises, breath practices and actually sing. All experience levels are welcome ($20/$25).
