βItβs an opportunity to connect and be embodied in a very unique way - nothing else has the same effect, and I never had the right space to explore and enjoy music in this way when growing up!β

βThis is a workshop like no other, no singing experience needed. Metta is a loving soul whoβs passion is to encourage and hold space when singing as this is a vulnerable thing for meβ
— Online Module Participant, 2020
βI loved how Metta was able to hold a beautiful explorational space for the group. Within these sing-a-long classes we were able to comfortably explore together the underlying emotions and energy of what our voice can represent at different times. For me, this is a true gift. Anyone can sing a song, but to sing understanding emotions, feeling calm and empowered is a whole other story.β
