Giving Voice is a particular approach to song that was developed by Jill Rakusen when she was in isolation through illness. While it can be done together in a group facilitated by an accredited Giving Voice teacher, perhaps its most exciting aspect is what can happen when we do it on our own. And it’s particularly useful when challenged – as the whole world is now.
It’s about building our relationship with a song, so that it becomes our companion, our support, and above all our teacher. And although it’s done on our own, the practice (called the Giving Voice Process) leads us towards a profound sense of interconnectedness.
Giving Voice has always been offered remotely, so we have a lot of experience doing this. We very much hope it can be of use to many others at this time – whether stuck at home for example, or looking after people in high-risk situations.
We’ve created material especially for this time – some of it written, some of it recorded – to give you a sense of how you can draw on this approach. It will be mainly be released via Facebook.
Let us know how you get on, or contact us if you want to ask for any input, if you get stuck, or to share any valuable experiences. info@givingvoicefoundation.
