Grounding in the Heart

Leah Stein facilitates a hearth-centered Deep Listening voice movement workshop. With gentle prompts, we invite our bodies to ground, sound and connect through somatic awareness practices and deep listening scores. We will focus on the heart channel, the heart / hand / body connection and explore the balance of openness and protection in these challenging times. All welcome!
Workshop
Contact Improvisation CI Philly
with Leah Stein
Thursdays, April 2 + 9, 6:30-8:30pm, 2026
Mascher Studio
1170 S. Broad St. Please ring the "Rear Studio" buzzer to be let into the building
These classes will invite us to find the vibratory qualities of the voice as ‘another limb’ or a central channel of the body. We will explore listening, humming and creating vocal sound while maintaining awareness and embodiment of somatic experience and pathways of CI. Building on CI basic forms and awareness of tuning into sensation, weight, momentum, the space of the body, and the room, we will explore together CI with the voice as an integrated part of the body. Leah’s teaching style is gentle, welcoming and grounded in curiosity and connection.
