Language From the Root

This drop-in group for female-bodied folks will be a laboratory/play space to experiment with your verbal self expression. We will playfully explore the connection between the pelvic bowl and the voice.  We will bring curiosity to the energetics of the ovaries, uterus, pelvic floor, and surrounding structures and to the felt sense of verbal expression and its capacity to support well being. How often do you speak about your experience almost from outside of yourself, as if it is a news report? What happens when you link the sounding of words with the deeper parts of your body’s experience? How might this shape and support your experience of yourself and your relationships with others? Or how might it lead to a deeper understanding of how to know when to respect verbal expression feeling too edgy or vulnerable? How can writing be a helpful tool to link inner experience with outward expression?

You need no experience to attend.  And if this all sounds a bit edgy to you, please know you are not alone.  You will be in a space where you can honor your degree of risk-taking, which can include resting, participating by listening or making very quiet sounds.

The fee is $15 per evening. If you don’t register and pay here each group, please email me to confirm your spot: meganfitzhamilton@gmail.com. Payments can also be made in person with cash, check, card, or venmo (@Megan-Fitz-1). 

I will cap the group at 10 people.

Location:  My office, 224 East Main St. Yarmouth

Why would you want to do this?  

1.  There is a direct line of fascial connection between the mouth, throat, and jaw, and the pelvic floor and nearby generative organs, not to mention they have amazing anatomical similarities. Vocal expression creates an opportunity to engage with and potentially ease the muscles of the pelvic floor and associated fascia, decompressing nerves and bringing a deeper sense of "grounding," especially when explored consciously and with intention. 

2.  You will have an opportunity to explore pairing sounds with words in a safe space and in a way that you might not in your day-to-day life. Expanding your capacity for play and expression expands your sense of confidence and connection with others.

3.  You will have a chance to slow down and listen to your body while expressing words.  What happens when words feel good? Or when they don’t?  How do you know?  What is it like to express yourself in new ways?

4.  Vocal and verbal expression can help move congested emotions that might be stored in the form of tension in the pelvic bowl or elsewhere, bringing more ease and flow to your being.

5.  The female body and voice has a long history of being silenced and shamed.  Perhaps you are aware of inherited conditioning in your own being or would like to explore it.

6.  It will be fun!  And a lovely opportunity to connect with others.

Please reach out with any questions!  And feel free to pass this invitation along to anyone who might be interested.
