PLERO ~ PHONIC INCUBATOR

23.7-26.7

VOICE ♦ EROS ♦ PSYCHE ♦ ART

A MOVEMENT FOR PERSONAL AND COLLECTIVE AWAKENING

WITH MARISA MICHELSON AND FAYE SHAPIRO

Join us for this first ever incubator of Marisa and Faye’s shared vision for a collective movement that includes personal somatic vocal practice, CG Jung-inspired psyche work, and an inside-out approach to group vocal improvisation as a way to connect to deeper layers of Self, Truth and Aliveness.

We will explore both verbal and non-verbal ways of relating to each other, practicing staying true to our singular signal, our individual expressive posture, even as we reach beyond ourselves to consciously connect to the shared group field.

As Faye and Marisa weave together their respective practices (Vocal De-Armoring and Plexus) - you will be introduced to unique tools and perspectives that invite you into a deep connection with your wise inner knowing, your inner voice - through the arena of the body, emotions and the relational field.  

SAMPLE SCHEDULE

Wednesday 23.7 | 2 - 6 pm: Introductions & Initial Psyche and Somatic Tools.

Faye and Marisa met in 2008, in NY.

Both huge voice geeks, free - thinkers, and wild hearts - we quickly started collaborating on our first project “voice becoming”, developed in residencies in the US and europe. here you can see a snippet of us singing together… so young…

As we both matured in our creative practices, we kept a channel of conversation open between us - often discussing political and social matters, supporting each other in our journey of intellectual independence, moral navigation and humane clarity.

The upcoming incubator invites you to join our kinship - to recognize voice work as a path of liberation, and expanded singing as a way to create life.

We are excited to explore new territories and inspire a movement that sets voice work as the center of transformational and awakening work - both on the personal and collective layers.

Voice is one of the most potent tools for learning the instrument of the Self.

Learn to navigate emotional shifts, highs and lows, desires and angers in a way that follows the shifting energetic currents - the vibrations - that are always moving inside of you. 

Your vibration sings. Your vibration is felt. Your vibration matters and your vibration has impact. 

Together, we will practice knowing ourselves and feeling our impact on others. learning to be clear liberated channels collaboratively and lucidly weaving a new sound reality.

For these four days, singing, sounding and listening will be our shared language of sensing, expressing, feeling, and Being. This realm of non-verbal vocal communication is commonly missing in how we relate to and with each other.

\We need more and more colonies of people practicing True expression through voice.

FAQs:

Do I need any prior experience with singing or art making?

Is food and lodging included? 

No, Meals are not included - except for the journey day. we can help with finding lodging.

What will the final full-day mycelial artistic journey be like? 

A field, a playground, spacious and curious - time to explore connection with nature, with our bodies and with each other - with our voice and our dreams in a less structured and more ritualistic manner, after 3 days of immersion we get to live a(t least one) day in the glory of fullness, together.

May I join for the final full-day mycelial artistic journey only? 

Yes! anyone joining the final day journey will need to book a 1:1 session with Faye seperately.

Testimonials

“This week felt like an absolute reset for my body, soul, and nervous system.

To get to spend a few days in nature singing and being surrounded by like-minded, creative individuals was such a gift, and I have been feeling so much gratitude to have had the opportunity to come.”

Olivia

“It was really before and after the session:

we created this perspective towards the sun - shining our shadows through, sharing our pain, shedding our armors together…this is the path.

For me, this experience it makes life worth living.

Claudia Dulitchi, actress and singer, Tel Aviv/ Milan

The Journey with Faye was an incredible revelation about what working with the voice in a non-outcome-focused way and turning towards unknown territory can reveal.

Scary at times, emotional and liberating. Doing this in a group context is very beneficial, as we help each other uncover material in a playful and creative/receptive way.

Faye is a wonderful and very experienced facilitator, knowing how to hold a container and guide with attunement, deep intuition and vulnerability.

My voice feels freer - a feeling of liberation and grounding.

Luise Gabel, voice actress, Berlin

Vo-De week taught me a new way of being and existing. Held by the land that Marisa stewards and surrounded by other humans with deep, sincere curiosity to explore their voices, I found myself melting into the void. The void has been calling me, but I was always either too busy or too stressed to take the leap.

Inside this void, I'm a different version of myself. I take my time. I let myself feel the truth of sensations. I am sometimes small, other times larger than I've ever felt. I am whoever I am in the moment: a shapeshifter who's in love with the world.

There was something magical about the seemingly mundane acts of singing with and in front of others, sharing meals, laughing, carpooling, and being tired together under the July sun. I noticed something unusual about this group – people didn't seem to be scared of one another. It was easy to be me around everyone. It was easy to experiment with other ways of being around everyone.

I have always been craving this experience.
