E10| Rejection, Redirection and your Voice as Medicine with Stephanie Rooker
Manage episode 354793337 series 3422726
On today's episode of the Guided podcast we are diving into healing your voice with Stephanie Rooker. Stephanie's mission is to help wake up all the voices of the world and she has an incredibly unique approach to helping people find their way!
Stephanie is a vocalist, voice teacher, therapeutic sound facilitator, mental health counselor, and founder of Voice Journey Sound Center. Her work combines practices of deep listening, somatic awareness, and mindfulness as well as exploratory techniques of improvisation, movement, song-creation, and free-form creative flow.
Rooker's Voice Journey® approach is a holistic, integrative, and liberatory course of study and practice to deepen our connection with our voices, ourselves, each other, and life. Based on the idea that the voice is an intelligence or entity that accompanies us throughout our lives and that each voice carries its own unique medicine, this work is an exploration of who we are & who we can be - in how we identify, express ourselves, and show up in the world.
In this episode Stephanie discusses how her original plan for her life was met with rejection and ultimately, redirection from the Universe - a journey that while filled with heartbreak, essentially led her to the purposeful work she does today - helping people find, heal and use their voices.
