Julia Norton has always been driven by a deep understanding that the singing voice is not just about sounding ‘pretty’, it’s about communicating deep emotions and connecting with others, whilst also connecting to the core of who we truly are.

Combining solid vocal technique, gentle movement, active imagination, shadow work and play, Julia’s mission is to help people uncover the power, authenticity, and joy in their voice. To transform the stories that might be holding them back, and to build community through collaborative singing and play.

We begin with gentle physical and vocal warm ups and then explore our voices and various forms of independent and collaborative singing, from close harmony singing, improvisational singing and specific singing styles, whilst building community and offering the singing balm we all desire.

No previous singing experience needed. ALL levels, ages, genders are welcome to join.

Early Bird is $20 a week before and regular tickets are $30.

The final two dates this year ARE …
Wednesday October 28th 7-9pm

Berkeley Alembic is 10 minutes from downtown Berkeley. A gorgeous light filled space, with tea and a huge free parking lot.

Testimonials

“From the dancing to the deep exploration of Jungian concepts, every aspect of the workshop was thoughtfully crafted to awaken and liberate my voice and body. Julia’s guidance as an inspirational voice coach and teacher was exceptional. She skillfully held the container tight, providing structure and support, while also graciously allowing for the space needed for personal exploration and growth. I left the workshop feeling energized. The creative exercises, singing sessions, and opportunities for release were incredibly liberating. I cannot recommend Julia’s workshops highly enough. Whether in a group setting or through individual sessions, working with Julia is an enriching and transformative experience that I wholeheartedly endorse.”

“Julia is an expression of what she teaches.  Something magical is transmitted just by her presence.  The integration of dream work, drawing, creativity, vocal exercises, open throated singing (and just plain silly fun)  was a perfect way to encourage and reclaim my creative process.  Can’t wait to work with Julia again soon”

“My day with Julia and a wonderful group of women allowed me the space to explore my voice in ways that brought me understanding and joy.  Julia’s positive energy, her compassion for her students, and her deep knowledge are uplifting. I have a teaching and theater background and know that Julia is a true artist and teacher. I left her workshop with new information about my voice and about my relationship to my voice — and in an incredibly good mood. I look forward to my next “Julia” class!”
