Classes and Workshops
Ziji Beth Goren
Body of Sound
Join an inspired and nurturing time focused on voice-movement principles and practices: How do breath, sound, melody, and story guide and generate movement, refuel sound?
Warm up to vibration and waves, liven to impulse, sample vowels and consonants, tap into rhythms and bones, stir the soundbody and its yearnings. Intention, story, memory lay the ground for in-depth sharing in a heart-centered circle. What unfolds? Voice-movement vignettes, gateways to personal balance and performance reach.
“As a teacher, Beth has shown great capacity for working with both groups and individuals. I have seen her find new and different ways to help others reach their potential.”

Gentle structures assist journeys through the landscape of authentic human voice and the ground of insightful movement. In solo, partner work, and group exploration, we find personal story, rhythms, melodies, movement themes that influence our range of cellular expression, sacred life force, artistic reach.

The Immune System is a nomadic system which includes parts of many systems. We explore the relationship of optimal health and sustainability within the layers of this system.
· We name and locate all immune organs and find links between them.
· We touch into three layers of bone.
· We find the connections of voice and movement to immune function.
· We tap into rhythms and movements, allowing body cells a life cycle of integrity.
