SESHEN has been facilitating body-centered healing and embodiment practices through touch therapy, sound, and movement for the past 15 years. The experience of losing her singing voice for seven years in her mid-twenties and the process of reclaiming it has guided her to discover the sensitive and vulnerable connection between body, psyche, and energy in the human’s voice as well as its deep healing potential. Originally from Japan, she holds a masters degree in music and vocal improvisation from the Norwegian Academy of Music. She has taught “Vocal Embodiment” practice since 2016 in different countries.

Seshen’s Offerings

Returning Home—Crystal Sound Healing April 12th at 6PM

In this event, she weaves the sound of clear quartz crystal singing bowls and pyramids with her voice, listening to the stillness within all things. The music she offers will be created in the moment, attuning to our shared field, in gratitude and reverence to nature and all our relations, holding the prayer, “May we return Home.” At the beginning of the sound offering, there will be a guided meditation that supports us to arrive in our body, the present moment, and the healing field that is within and around us. A short closing circle for integration will be followed at the end.

Your Voice as Medicine—Embodied Toning May 4th at 1PM

Toning is a simple vocalization focusing on the vibration of the sound and its resonance in the body. It has been practiced since ancient times for bringing harmony into our own being as well as our living environment. When used with intention and sensitive attunement, the human voice can be a powerful healing medicine. We will explore our natural voice as a unique healing medicine. We will see our whole body as an instrument and tune it with deep sensitivity and attunement for cultivating natural open resonance. 

Below are some of the inquiries for our explorations:

How can I use my voice for my own well-being?

How can I use my voice for others?

How can I allow my voice to flow naturally?

How can I appreciate my voice beyond self-judgment?

How can I cultivate my sensitivity to attune to the vibration?

We will explore body awareness exercises, movement, touch to open up the body’s capacity to sense, vocalize, listen, and resonate, followed by individual toning as well as in a group. At the end of the session, Seshen will play the crystal singing bowls and pyramids to accompany the group toning to co-create together a choir of healing sound.
