Activate your musical birthright and sing!

You love to sing. Maybe it’s in the car, in the shower, with a choir, or at karaoke. Maybe you’ve performed onstage — or maybe you want to sing but feel terrified to open your mouth in front of anyone. I’ve been there, and I meet so many people who have too!

Free Your Voice, Free Your Soul is a gentle, highly experiential workshop that invites you back into your natural creativity. It’s based on a simple, powerful idea: you were born creative, and using your voice is a birthright — for joy, expression, connection, and even the sacred.

This is a two-hour journey of play, breath, and discovery designed to expand your confidence, loosen old habits, and help you actually have fun making music with other people.

NEXT EVENT TBD SOON!

At the Kennedy School Community Room, Portland, OR

  • Grow more comfortable being heard and seen.
  • Build practical tools to sing with confidence and joy.

“I haven’t sung in front of anyone in over 25 years when I was told I could not sing as a child. Robins playful, gentle and inviting approach inspired me to make more sounds with my voice than I ever thought I would again. Blown away!”

– Dan Brown, Participant

  • A friendly vocal warmup to loosen your voice (nothing toooo weird)
  • Learn one or two group songs so you can feel the power of the collective voice.
