SongSourcing

Unlock Your Creativity

If you feel ready to emerge into fuller vocal expression, we recommend practicing with SongSourcing- The Art of Imaginative Songmaking.  Even a few minutes of SongSourcing can breathe new possibility into your imagination. It is an invitation to leave behind ideas of inadequacy around your capacity to create, and open to the transforming power of your storyteller and songmaker.

Discover the joy of spontaneous songmaking through a simple yet highly effective integrative method for creative self-expression.

Participants are guided past self-consciousness and self-judgment into what is, for many, a profound reconnection with self and opening to others.

  • "I came away from SongSourcing with the joyful realization that at any moment, at any time, there is a song inside us, waiting to be shared."

    Deva Premal, singer/recording artist

  • "I was completely delighted and surprised- mostly by the fact that I could do it, and by how it revealed hidden parts of my psyche. Engaging the singing voice in verbal free-association makes this a wonderful tool for self-exploration."

    Shivon Robinsong, Founder, Gettin' Higher Choir, Victoria, BC

  • "SongSourcing gives me a daily practice I can do anytime, anywhere. With stunning simplicity it unlocks the intelligence of my own body, using my voice as healing medicine."

    Deva Vani, former Music Director, Universal Spirit Center, San Diego

“A wonderful tool for creative exploration”


Siobhan Robinsong
voice educator, Victoria, BC

  • “SongSourcing is a great opportunity to promote internal education, linking a number of parts of our nervous system to each other. It’s a remarkable source for creating integration.”

    Daniel J. Siegel, MD, Interpersonal Neurobiologist, author, Mindsight and The Mindful Brain

  • "SongSourcing taps into the power of the voice, sound and narratives. The music/sound interacts with one's body/energy system triggering resistance, resonance and/or release. One's voice in turn, using sounds and/or words, provides the perfect expression of one's personal story. The organic and intuitive essence of these simple exercises bypasses the rational mind and creates closeness and intimacy, which results in insightful glimpses into a healed, creative song-making soul"

    Sara Machado, Holistic Voice Therapy practitioner
