"I didn't know who I was. I hadn't heard my true self. How can I stand up for myself if I don't really know who I am? Now I have my voice back." Donna, Albuquerque, New Mexico “You changed my life/blew the cap off a dormant volcano. The woman truly has a way to open a stone without cracking it.” Ondewewe, Santa Fe, New Mexico “My voice has found its feet!” Alice, Albuquerque, New Mexico “I am now finally free to allow the song of my life to emerge. I may not be a great singer, but I am a song. My life is a song.” Joy, Albuquerque, New Mexico “Susan has a deep, gentle, yet strong ability to listen and connect and a rare ability for support, one only found with the best of healers. We met during my darkest hour – I was struggling with a complete breakdown of my health. The sessions were tailored for what I could neurologically and emotionally integrate. No goal was unworthy or insignificant. It gave me something to live for during a dark and difficult time. It is significant that we worked by phone almost exclusively for five years. Her ability to hear and feel me, to listen, transcended the distance. As I see my growth over these years in my ability to listen to my stillness, my sound, to all the “scary” places in me, I can feel the influence of our sessions. Making peace with all my sounds brings joy and I find that it frees my song." Susi, California "Thank you, Susan for mentoring me. A whole new life has evolved to balance my 40 years of nursing with more alive ideas and dreams. The vocal toning and sounding reawakens the creative, joyful, trusting little girl in me who was shut down. And I find "more of me" daily as I teach and learn about music/singing with others and as I volunteer at the bedsides of the dying with the thresholdchoir.org here in NYC." Ruth, Yonkers, NY

Reflections On Dissonance

Reflection One: While we strive for consonance and harmony in our lives, the truth is we live in a world where we are often bombarded by sounds dissonant to our bodies.

Sound and Silence

\\\Music invents silence\\\ Octavio Paz from the poem On Reading John Cage 1 This morning, like many mornings I sang as part of a sound practice. Most often I chant mantras but this morning I sang Leonard Cohen\\\s Hallelujah, for me a hymn of transcendence. After I sang I sat in silence, allowing a rich deep dark silence to fill me.

What is the story of your voice?

Growing up we hear many messages about our voices. Many are told they are tone deaf and can\\\t sing. Others are told they are too intense and should tone down. Some are told to keep family secrets or told they are too sensitive. All of these can translate into vocal blocks and inhibit us from expressing our natural heritage as singers. One wread more
