Voice Liberation Playshop with Mayumi

WHAT HAPPENED?

We gathered on the wood floors of Kinship, forming a circle and were welcomed by Mayumi, with introductions going around. Say your name and make a sound with a body movement, and we will all mimic it. We each came up a signature exclamation and move. Everyone followed suit.

We got up as Mayumi turned into a Japanese American shaman from Highland Park (L.A.), pulsing a horseskin drum she made by hand. We moved rhythmically, and I suddenly began to think, "Wow, I really am in L.A."

The group was about 99% women, all wanting to open their throat chakras and express themselves without shame, overcoming the shaming, belittling, and being told to quiet down we all experience. Childhood trauma was an underlying issue in the group.

We made sounds, drank tea, danced like Burning Man/Bhakti Fest hipsters, and made sounds, expressing our range of vocal ability.

I had been privileged to have a hands-on healing from Mayumi at the Collective a few days in advance. I thought there would be more of that, which is available in private sessions.

Instead, it was a group healing, over all too soon. Will there be another? There will. Keep an eye on Dharma Buddhist Meditation and her Instagram for details.
