About the workshop:

Strong leadership begins with a strong voice—both literally and figuratively. This dynamic and experiential workshop offers practical tools from vocal training that immediately enhance public speaking, boost confidence, and unlock creative flow.

After warming up and learning how to bring power and authenticity into the voice, we will switch gears and enjoy a taste of the song circle, where we’ll deepen into the voice and nurture our feeling of connection with uplifting songs.

In “The Embodied Voice,” we explore how vocal awareness translates to clearer communication, stronger executive presence, and greater innovation.

Participants will:

• Learn vocal warm-ups to improve clarity, projection, and presence
• Discover how posture and breath impact confidence and influence
• Explore techniques to reduce anxiety and cultivate authentic expression
• Activate creativity and presence through playful vocal exercises
• Walk away with simple daily practices for sustained vocal health and mental clarity.

About the trainer:

Kasia Aynur is a singer and writer of songs, poems, and essays, and creator of the Vocal Playshop. After a 12+ year run of performing and releasing original music, she established the Vocal Playshop as the vehicle of her passion for creating circles where women can feel safe to open up their creativity and sing. 

Kasia began training in the art of song leading with Heather Houston and Sisters of Harmony in February 2024, and has held monthly song circles ever since. She also draws from her experiences in songwriting, circle singing, jazz improvisation, kirtan and vocal meditation with teachers like Molly Holm and Stephen Longfellow Fiske, among others. She has shared stages with accomplished folk musicians Ayla Nereo, Rising Appalachia, and Manose Singh.

Her academic journey in cognitive psychology and time spent mentoring children and young adults give her insight into working with the mind to create positive change. Kasia’s circles braid together the work of healing the mind, tending the heart, and creating beauty with song.
