Happy Republic Day. Celebrate it, while we still can.

Happy New Year!

We begin this year with some happy announcements.
We are quite excited to announce that Vāchikā now has a dedicated work space in Indiranagar, Bangalore - Vāchikā House. We are going to have regular voice classes, weekend workshops, deep dives, lots of online/hybrid classes, certifications and so much more! So write in and we'll send you updates on our offerings.

And... we kick the year off with the Vāchikā Certificate Course. For the first time in India.

Why am I offering this course? Because we all need to know what a miracle the human voice really is! Because we need more awareness, information and education around the voice. And because we need more trained voice teachers out there, empowering others to be fully heard!

Your body is aware, wise and conscious. Your body holds memory. Your body is the site for transformation in the psyche and in the spirit. And. Your voice is the doorway into all three - your body, your psyche and your spirit. Yup! You read that right.

The Vāchika Course is a practical exploration into this intricate relationship. The work is holistic and enhances well-being. The work is designed to connect with your creative, intuitive and expressive self. As you know, I am deeply interested in well-being and so the course is designed with well-being at the centre of training. My approach to voice work is through deep listening into the body, mind and spirit.

Drop me a line if you are curious and want to learn more.

Have a wonderful year ahead!

First offering in 2024. Course begins on 24th January. Registrations are open. Details on request.

Two weeks to show!

See you there!

ADMIT

Admit:
your distant love affair
is with yourself,
and that

no one
can play
harder to get:

the unwritten letters,
the plays for time,
the heartbreak
over never being
properly answered.

That coy look
of false seduction
in the mirror,
or that hard look
of self-satisfaction

to hide
what should not
be hidden.

the invitation
to undoing,
and to allowing
yourself to want
at last
what you feel
you never deserved,

the fervent wish
to come closer,

and the loving
word
of understanding
you say
to your self
when you finally admit
to it all,
the only
declaration
that counts.

…

ADMIT
From
‘STILL POSSIBLE’
Poetry by David Whyte

…

So many unspoken conversations occur when we look in the mirror, or in the mirrored self-image of our thoughts. This piece tries to make one of the more common but unconscious exchanges, both conscious and transformative. DW
