Your voice is not separate from nature - it is one of nature's exquisite expressions.

Like birdsong, flowing water, a gust of wind through the trees, or the hum of the bees, the human voice is meant to move freely, honestly, and in relationship with the living world. The voice is life, expressing itself.

When we meet our voice with curiosity and  compassion, we reconnect with our authentic nature. And when we slow down enough to truly listen - to the forest, to our hearts, and to one another - we remember that we belong to this miraculous web of life.

During this nourishing day of vocal embodiment, nature immersion, and deep listening, we'll explore the voice as a pathway to presence, creativity, and connection, while awakening our relationship with the natural world through all of our senses.

Throughout the day, co-facilitators Odeya Nini and Jessica Caplan will weave together vocal practices, elemental medicine songs, contemplative time in nature, immersive sound, and moments of stillness.

In the early evening, we'll share a delicious, plant-based meal, crafted with seasonal ingredients by artist, herbalist, and kitchen witch Tanya Himeji Romero - an invitation to savor and receive nourishment not only through sound, but through taste, beauty, and community.

The day closes with a transcendent Vocal Sound Bath co-created by Odeya & Jessica in the Sound Sanctuary, so that you can integrate the gifts of the day.

Join Sophia Bruun and Jessica Caplan in the Sound Sanctuary for an intimate evening of self-discovery and healing.

 Facilitated by Sophia, Shadow Dance invites you into a blindfolded movement meditation, turning attention inward. Through intuitive movement, we welcome the shadow parts of ourselves - not to fix or change, but to listen, witness, and integrate.

The offering begins with an opening circle and optional blue lotus tincture, followed by a guided body scan to ground and relax you. We then gently transition into a dynamic dance set with music designed for introspection and connection to the shadow - the unconscious, rejected, repressed, or hidden parts of the self - and the inner child. Participants are encouraged to wear blindfolds or close their eyes as they move freely and intuitively to the music in the dimly lit circular space.

We close the movement experience with a soothing sound bath offered by Jessica to integrate the experience, followed by a closing circle with optional sharing.

With a limited capacity of 15 people, this is a special opportunity for deep personal work within community. Please bring your own blindfold and water bottle.

Your voice is a soul messenger and beyond—it's the vibration of your true presence. In this immersive workshop with Silvia Nakkach, visionary composer and raga singer, and Jessica Caplan, vocal embodiment guide and sound artist, you’ll rediscover the natural ease and joy of your voice, drawing from the wisdom source of Integral Yoga teachings and contemporary vocal techniques. Through the Yoga of the Voice, and a new seven-step practice, you’ll release tension, dissolve cultural conditioning, and experience your voice as medicine for creativity, connection, and emotional freedom. Here, the voice is not trained—it’s remembered.

Drawing from ancient yogic breath practices, healing chants, and intuitive vocal improvisations, this journey opens seven portals: Release, Relax, Embody, Awaken, Engage, Expand, and Enchant. Each step invites you to:

>>Let go of old patterns and inhibitions

>>Reclaim a joyful, spontaneous voice

>>Explore chanting and improvisation as spiritual practice

>>Build a personal repertoire of healing songs >>Awaken dormant creativity and your capacity for attentive sound presence 

You’ll attend to essential tools—breath awareness, movement, embodied listening, and vocal meditation—to support your voice and free your expression. From Ragas to Icaros to songs of the world, the voice becomes a bridge between body, soul, and sound, in addition to the delight of devotional chanting. 

Open to everyone: singers, seekers, therapists, musicians, and curious beginners. No experience required. Just bring your breath, your curiosity, and the aspiration to deeply listen. 

***Inspired by Silvia Nakkach’s book Free Your Voice and her school signature lineage Certificate, The Yoga of the Voice—where sound, meditation, and spirit unite in a living tradition of liberation and attunement.

As summer approaches, Alison Sinatra and I invite you to join us in preparing body, heart, and mind for the season of abundant light. In our ILLUMINATE Breathwork & Sound experience, we'll open ourselves to the growing light, nourishing our inner landscapes so that we can bloom alongside nature's fullness.

Our circle opens with a check-in, then moves into a breathwork ceremony guided by Alison. We integrate the experience through Jessica's ethereal sound journey, woven with voice and a wide range of resonant drone instruments. To close the journey, we join our voices in song, and sip tea together, while enjoying the sweetness of community connection.

Join Jessica Caplan and Stella Fay Metzner for a day of Systemic Family Constellations and Sound. Facilitated by Stella, the constellations offer a powerful space to explore and shift inherited patterns within family systems, bringing insight, release, and greater alignment. Between sessions, Jessica guides simple movement and vocal practices to help  integrate each experience, culminating in a nourishing sound bath for deep rest and embodiment. Together, this immersive experience weaves awareness, expression, and integration to support meaningful transformation.

Spirals of Spring is an offering of sound and song co-led by vocal embodiment guide and sound artist Jessica Caplan and sound facilitator and master gong player Samer Ghadry.

As the earth blossoms and life unfurls in spirals all around us, we gather in the Sound Sanctuary to mirror that natural intelligence within our own bodies. We’ll begin with gentle, intuitive movement to open the body, release tension, and soften into receptivity. From there, we’ll explore voice and song—awakening our own vibration and experiencing the simple joy of singing together. The journey culminates in a deeply immersive soundscape, where voice, gong, and layers of resonant instruments weave together into expansive, meditative landscapes, inviting you to rest, receive, and reconnect with the living spiral of creation.

 The Sound Sanctuary is so excited to host longtime friend and collaborator Samer Ghadry in the space for the first time. This promises to be a magical sonic experience.

Hudson Valley’s answer to the morning party. Nothing extra. One hour. No phones, no small talk, no instruction. Just show up and move.

This is self-guided, slightly unhinged, and totally worth it. Dance your ass off, and get on with your day. Bring water. Stretch if you need it. Move how you need.
