Stimmen sind so individuell, faszinierend und vielfältig wie es die Menschen sind.

In diesem Zusammenspiel kommen wir den räumlichen Eigenschaften von Atembewegung und Klangbewegung gemeinsam auf die Spur.

Die Entdeckung innerer bewegter Atemräume verbindet sich mit stimmlichen Klangräumen ohne Druck, als eine gute Grundlage für die spontanen und mühelosen Ausdrucksideen der eigenen Stimme. Der leibliche Zugang zur eigenen Stimme wird konkret erfahrbar, Empfangen und Lauschen - innerliches nicht äußerliches Stimmen - wird eine größere Rolle spielen in diesem spannenden Prozess.

Vorerfahrung ist nicht notwendig, aber Freude und Neugierde an Atem und Klang sehr erwünscht.
Dieses Event ist Teil der Somatic Voice Fortbildung, kann aber auch unabhängig davon als Workshop besucht werden.

Stimmen sind so individuell, faszinierend und vielfältig wie es die Menschen sind.
In dieser Fortbildung loten wir in vielfacher Weise die besondere leibliche Dimension von Klang und Sprache aus.

„Musikhören ist die Geste, welche die Haut überwindet, indem sie sie aus Grenze in Verbindung verwandelt." (W. Flusser)

Wir unterstützen die Prozesse der individuellen Befreiung und Entfaltung der einzelnen Stimmen und begleiten die Entstehung gemeinschaftlicher, (sprach-) musikalischer, kollektiver Prozesse.

Dabei befragen wir insbesondere mit den somatischen Methoden Erfahrbarer Atem nach Prof. Ilse Middendorf, Atem-Tonus-Ton®, Ursang, Body-Mind-Centering®, Stimmimprovisation und erfahrbare Philosophie den leiblichen Zugang zur eigenen Stimme und lassen ihn konkret erfahrbar werden.

Empfangen und Lauschen - innerliches nicht äusserliches Stimmen - wird eine grössere Rolle spielen in diesem Prozess.

Das Potential der eigenen Stimme freizusetzen wird unterstützt, der Stimmklang in seinen vielseitigen Qualitäten kann stärker differenziert und die Resonanzfähigkeit des gesamten Körpers erweitert werden.

Fundierend auf diese sich vertiefende leibliche Ansprache gestaltet sich die Stimme hin zum Ausdruck - Gesang und Sprechen.

Vorerfahrung ist nicht notwendig, aber Freude und Neugierde an Klang und Sprache sehr erwünscht.

Voices are as individual, fascinating, and diverse as the people themselves.
In this further education program, we explore the unique corporeal dimension of sound and language in manifold ways.

We support the processes of individual liberation and the unfolding of each unique voice, while accompanying the emergence of communal, (linguistic-) musical, and collective processes.

In particular, we utilize somatic methods such as the Experiential Breathaccording to Prof. Ilse Middendorf, Atem-Tonus-Ton®, Ursang, Body-Mind-Centering®, Vocal Improvisation, and Experiential Philosophy to interrogate the physical access to one’s own voice, making it tangibly perceptible.

Receiving and Listening – an internal rather than external tuning – will play a major role in this process. Releasing the potential of your own voice is supported, allowing the vocal sound to be more finely differentiated in its versatile qualities and expanding the resonance of the entire body.

Based on this deepening physical engagement, the voice shapes itself toward expression: singing and speaking.

The online info evening is free of charge and provides space for content-related and practical questions regarding the program.

"Listening to music is the gesture that transcends the skin, transforming it from boundary to connection." (W. Flusser)

Voices are as individual, fascinating and diverse as people are.
In this training we explore in many ways the special bodily dimension of sound and language.

We support the processes of individual liberation and unfolding of individual voices and accompany the emergence of communal, (language-) musical, collective processes.

In particular, we use the somatic methods of Experiential Breath according to Prof. Ilse Middendorf, Atem-Tonus-Ton®, Ursang, Body-Mind-Centering®, voice improvisation and experiential philosophy to question the bodily access to one's own voice and allow it to be experienced in a concrete way. Receiving and listening - inner not outer voicing - will play a greater role in this process.

Releasing the potential of one's own voice will be supported, the sound of the voice in its many qualities can be more strongly differentiated and the resonance capacity of the entire body can be expanded.

Based on this deepening bodily response, the voice is shaped into expression - singing and speaking.

Previous experience is not necessary, but joy and curiosity about sound and language are highly desirable.

This event opens up the space for content-related and practical questions about the professional training in Somatic Pedagogy.

After the first year of the Somatic Basics Training (Part 1), the Somatic Pedagogy Training (Part 2) focuses on practical deepening and the ability to facilitate and guide individuals and groups in somatic work.

The Somatic Pedagogy Training establishes the second and final prerequisite for professional certification and recognition by ISMETA, the International Somatic Movement and Therapy Association.

The Somatic Pedagogy Training also provides an insight into the history and philosophy of somatics, its theories, principles, delimitations and its critical reflection within our current cultural context (Critical Somatics).

Through the analysis of human movement development and through the specific and synergistic attributes of the somatic methods taught, the material can be absorbed and integrated in an embodied and cognitive way, thus supporting sense-making, choice-making and acting in the world.

On the one hand, understanding the principles of the individual methods gives students the opportunity to survey a large part of the somatic professional field.
On the other hand, the student gains the ability to use these principles as a basis for their own authorship and application.

The Somatic Basic Year will start September 7th, 2026 and will be held in German. Next start in English will be in early 2027.

The special bodily and effortless dimension of breath, sound and language can be experienced from different perspectives.

In particular, the experience-centred somatic methods Experiential Breath according to Prof. Ilse Middendorf, Breath-Tone-Tone®, Ursang and vocal improvisation make it possible to experience bodily access to one's own voice in a concrete way.

Combined with knowledge of applied anatomy and theoretical embedding in the principles of experiential philosophy, we build foundations and new approaches to the expressive power of the voice.

Benefits:
🔸Differentiate body sensations more strongly & experience physical presence as a cornerstone of stress reduction
🔸Regulatory stimuli in the interplay of the breathing process of inhalation - exhalation - calm breathing
🔸Basic access to relaxation and serenity through less “effort” in the breathing process
🔸Free breathing as the basis for the potential of your own voice
🔸By working on 'resistance' (breath-tonus-tone) new body-related expressive variance of the voice
🔸More effortless use of the voice
🔸Discover liveliness and vitality in the sound of the voice
🔸Expand the permeability and resonance capacity of the whole body (auto-sonification)

We cordially invite you to the Open House of the Somatic Academy Berlin.
Visitors are welcome to explore a variety of somatic practices through sample classes, meet instructors, and learn more about the Academy’s training programs.

Body, Trauma & Touch
📅7-day-workshop | The workshop consists of two parts:
📅First part: May 26 - 28, 2026 (Tuesday - Thursday)

Trauma held within the body can hinder a person’s ability to connect and function easily.

Working methods include access to resourcing, tracking, pacing, slowing down, making space, core-periphery, titration and pendulation, and touch-based work that supports skill development and listening for trauma resolution.

We’ll explore ways to bring touch and relationship to establish a new somatic ground and coherency, allowing unconscious behavioural responses to be held and a new self-awareness to arise.

What does this workshop focus on?

Jane Okondo’s protocol for working hands-on with trauma comes from her background as a Biodynamic Cranial Sacral therapist, her teaching in Integrative Bodywork and Movement Therapy, and her work with Somatic Experiencing, the touch skills for trauma with Kathy Kain and Dr. Aline La Pierre with NeuroAffective Touch.

Verbal skills are crucial for this practice, providing depth and safety. This approach also supports and integrates other bodywork and hands-on practices therapists use.

The Somatic Choir is an invitation to a holistic experience of one's own voice and that of the collective, as well as to create a mindful space together in which we can have fun and enjoy sounds together.

Philosophical and neuroscientific foundations are used to provide a deeper understanding of relatedness and empathy.

The somatic emphasis is on the perception of space and environment, the breath, and the ability of resonance.

Based on the Feldenkrais Method, experiential anatomy, as well as improvisation & meditation exercises, an empathic body-environment presence is trained, and sensory and aesthetic criteria for action orientation are developed.

This workshop is also a module of the continuing education Environmental Somatics, and will be at the Baltic Sea.

The healing and balancing effect of the breath unfolds when we do not force our breathing to function "correctly", but rather perceive how it shows itself.

The more we can let the breath move us, the easier it is to experience our body's ability to vibrate and resonate, and to expand the range of our vibratory sensations.
From this state and some resistance, the voice can unfold with ease.
