Workshop

Speak your mind, open your heART; around the fire is the perfect place to start!

Never have I ever sat at an open mic night thinking, "Damn, I've got bars!" but felt too afraid to take the stage.

Never have I ever read my own poetry out loud and cringed at my own words.

Never have I ever wanted to share a story at a social gathering, but spent the first 2 hours standing at the food table instead, because "I'm not that interesting." 

Never have I ever so badly wanted to do a dance class, but felt shy, awkward and disconnected from my own body.

Never have I ever so badly wanted to sing in front of people, but have felt so far away from my own voice...

...

Psst...I'll let you in on a little secret: 

The truth is, all of us have been there. The truth is, some of us are still here. The truth is that everyone has a unique and individual journey to go on and yours is just beginning.

At Speak Easy, we'll learn to breathe, move, and speak very, very easily. Whether you're an absolute beginner wanting to gain social and emotional confidence in your self-expression or a seasoned performer looking to elevate your stage presence, this workshop is for you! Combining meditation, movement, writing and sharing exercises, we will fire up the sacral chakra, clear that throat chakra and celebrate your divine, authentic truth.
