singing from the etheric heart
What stories, sensations, and sounds live in our hearts
when we truly listen to that space within?
The Heart Sings
Our hearts are vast, deep, oceanic, pulsing, spinning helixes.
Who are we when we connect with our hearts?
Who do we become, listening in to the sound of our own
life-force vibrating through us as our heartbeat?
Who are we as Love?
HeartSong is A
journey of remembrance.
The journey Of who we Are And
How we create ourselves.
Are you ready to welcome your song?
We vibrate ourselves into reality, our heartbeat, our breath, our Love. With these we create.
What might change for you if you were to deeply listen, sit in the frequency, and make space for your body to sing?
What is it your heart longs to sing?
Sing it into this space. Sing it into your life.
Sing your song.
Life will listen
Love will respond.
Katie Dove, somatic therapist, intuitive guide, healer, and mystic, guides us deeper into our hearts through a combination of spiritual embryology, storytelling, presence and visualization.
Our hearts beat, and we are creation.
Our hearts beat, as we create ourselves.
Through vibration, we Become.
We are not just made of music, our bodies are music itself.
Marisa Michelson, singer, Vocal De-Armorer™, improviser, composer and healer, guides us into our bodies through breath, Deep Listening and vocal practices meant to help us free somatic blocks in our jaws, tongues, necks and hearts.
When we free somatic blocks in our bodies, we allow the freer-flow of breath through our entire being. Connecting with the etheric nature of our hearts must not mean we disconnect from our bodies, but that, in fact, we journey deeper into our bodies.
As our breath flows more freely, so too, will our voices. With the intention to inhabit our hearts and the aliveness that can come from freeing these somatic blocks, we will sing.
We will sing from our hearts.
Join us!

Katie Dove is a somatic therapist, intuitive guide, healer, and mystic, who has been exploring esoteric teachings and mystery schools for over two decades.
Her gatherings and teachings are an alchemy of what she is fascinated by and often working with in the moment. Weaving together a tapestry of collected wisdom and personally cultivated modalities, Katie invites exploration through touch, voice, vibration, sound, dance, and movement. Through this inquiry, as well as investigating habits, freedom of choice, and expressiveness, she helps to illuminate the profound interplay between our senses and the world around us, unraveling the secrets of our whole being.
Curiosity has Katie captivated by sensation as a sacred language and a path to awakening. She guides her clients and students towards an empowered embodiment, teaching one’s body and mind to allow the inner wisdom to shape their external reality, rather than the opposite. In this way, they reclaim sovereignty over their own being.
Katie shares valuable insights on cultivating resilience and shine light on the vital practice of self-regulation within the nervous system, illuminating the path toward balance and well-being. She encourages the attunement of one’s internal potency and magnetism to attract people, activities, and communities that support and align with their true nature. Creating intimacy - a space for sharing deep connection and a sense of belonging - is Katie’s passion. To witness the embrace of presence in people’s lives fills her heart with joy.
Curiosity is her guide, leading Katie on a lifelong journey of learning. She finds delight in delving into anatomy, often geeking out on its intricate wonders. In her free time, you’ll find Katie tending to her garden and crafting by hand. With a profound reverence for the ancient ways, primitive skills, and wisdom of the old, she is driven to infuse these timeless traditions into modern expressions, honoring the roots while embracing the present.

Marisa is known for helping people of all ages and backgrounds sing with more ease, freedom, authenticity, joy, and skill. She has been teaching singing as a path of liberation for twenty years. She is the creator of The School of Vocal De-Armoring™ and Somatic Singing Pedagogy, an offshoot of the Libero Canto School. The Libero Canto Approach was first developed by Lajos Szamosi in Budapest before World War II. This holistic, process-oriented approach rooted in the Western Classical Tradition is her primary pedagogical lineage.
Marisa has worked successfully with professional and non-professional singers, many of whom come to her after experiencing extreme pain when speaking, or frequent voice loss, and others who want to explore voice as life-force energy and for purposes of their own aliveness and self-expression.
She also works successfully with singers with certain vocal injuries, and those who need a teacher who is able to tune into and work with their nervous system states as well as their bodies, psyches and spirits, in the service of holistically healing an injury that has deep roots.
Marisa founded and directed the NYC-based embodied vocal-performance ensemble, Constellation Chor || an immersion in voice, movement, and spirit for ten years. She is also an accomplished and award-winning composer working at the nexus of theatre, experimental music, opera, new music, and improvisation.
She was trained classically as a pianist, received her B.F.A from NYU (Tisch) in Musical Theatre and has a certificate in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy from the Embody Lab. She finished a year-long Akashic Records mentorship with Leah Garza. She has Anthroposophy, Tibetan Buddhism, Circling, and neo-tantra. Being in intimate relationship with singing is my life’s passion, encompassing all. www.marisamichelson.com

FAQs

This is the first collaboration between Katie and Marisa! Katie has been studying singing with Marisa, and Marisa has taken Katie’s courses. They both emerged from these experiences feeling expanded. Marisa felt more intimate with her heart, and Katie felt her voice begin to channel through her with more freedom and ease. They have decided to come together to share each other’s work with their respective communities for the first time. And there’s something magical about that first time, isn’t there?

You don’t! This class is gentle, and designed to help you explore your own system whether you’re new to singing or you’re a professional singer. While we may invite anyone who desires to unmute themselves and sing a solo line in front of the class, that’s not a requirement! If you’re new to Marisa’s work, you’ll be given the opportunity to gently and somatically explore your jaw, neck, and tongue as it relates to giving voice. If you’ve done this work with her before, you’ll get to keep on practicing! And you’ll be learning little bits of heart-centered songs each week. You’ll also be doing a deep listening practice, which is nourishing, whether you are an advanced musical listener, or a beginning one!

No, you don’t. If you’ve spent a considerable amount of time doing embodiment work, spiritual work, trauma work, or attachment work, this is likely a fit for you. If you’re not sure whether you’re ready for this, send us an email and we’ll figure it out together.

Your sense of curiosity and courage. This is deep and powerful work, and it’s not something to be undertaken lightly.
You might want to have access to a yoga mat, different-sized pillows, and a chair. Wall space can also be helpful for leaning your chair against so that you do not need to hold up your back and head.
Find a quiet space and bring whatever you need to feel comfortable. Some folks like to take notes, while others prefer to soak the material up directly.
