A weekend immersion in vocal liberation and somatic healing led by sound therapy pioneer Eileen Day McKusick and the Brothers Koren.

The program draws on the concept of sonic anatomy, using toning and expressive singing to activate energy, clear emotional blockages, and reconnect with joy and self-acceptance. Through interactive group work and guided practice, attendees learn to expand vocal boundaries, work with their whole body as a resonant instrument, and develop practical tools for nervous system regulation. Whether experienced singers or those hesitant to vocalize, participants work in a supportive environment designed to build confidence and authentic expression. The retreat integrates daily yoga and movement classes, nutritious meals, and access to the Kripalu campus.
