What participants say about Sound Nourishment

Tina Meyers
Women Advocates Rising

״Renee brought her full eccentric, embodied, wise and playful self to the Warriors, giving us all full permission to let loose, express our voices and allow Wind and Air to flow through us as we leap over the edge of what is next in our leadership!! It was a blast and profound all at once.

Tony Asaro, Music Education
Lick-Wilmerding High School, S.F.

"Renée established an immediate rapport with my group, and soon, the students were contributing boldly to the circle singing and improv exercises. My students felt at ease and free to both succeed and to fail. They took pleasure in building off of one another's vocal lines."

Kitty Kameon
Rosen Method Practitioner

"Sharing sound, movement, rhythm, and voice in the group brought me into my full self. I felt alive and complete, energized and calm. I loved all of it, from the simple movements & sounds, to harmonizing together, using my voice, movement, heart, body, sound.

Mirjam Krohne

Dancer/ Biodanza Facilitator

"The gentleness of the chimes at the beginning of one class set a trajectory which was about really being in harmony with the group, so that we listened a lot more to the vibrational qualities of each voice and what they were communicating.”

Renata Martin

Educator/Singer

"I admire and appreciate Renée as a singer, as a teacher and as a human. She is patient, kind, solid, and encouraging. It's easy to follow her and be inspired by her."

Richard Freeman

Drummer

"I've attended Renée's group many times, and each one is better than the previous. Reaching common vocal ground with strangers is an experience I cannot recommend highly enough. I usually float out of the space afterward."

Deena Levy

Singer/Educator Physical Therapist

"Renée is immersed in music & singing & improvisation drawing from a vast repertoire of jazz, world music & folk. She leads the classes & group with joy, clarity & confidence. It is a pleasure to participate & be nurtured by the music, group & heartfelt creativity."

Penny Marienthal

Amazing Being

"Each class is a unique experience of collaborating with others in a way that is fun and freeing, yet held in the safe container that Renée skillfully crafts.

She is a delightfully positive teacher, able to share her gifts in a way that allows access to the creative spirit."

David Pederson

Performer

"Renée provides a great space, enthusiasm, and nurturing everyone's ability / talents, gets a group off in comfort and cheer. She then gets you "into" your source/ your body and helps discover where your music comes from and then joyfully creates a playful place to share the gift of voice and laughter."

Lois Cincy

Stagebridge Student

"Renée, as a teacher, came into my studies at the right time. Her technique helped me put it together and I am 'sanging' now.

Gave me the ability to say the sounds and the words comfortably. It has lifted it to a higher kinda joy. Thanks!"

Daniella Salzman,

Educator & Facilitator at Grow Awake

"Renée's sound nourishment takes us into the depths of our being. Through her attunement and skill, the sound journey opens up constrictions in the mind, heart, and body so we can experience what is beyond them - A true gift for the spirit!"

Lauren Ari

Artist and Educator

"I am so glad to be here because being with you feels like I get to drink from your passion, this deep well that really supports me, makes me feel alive and resonates me - I am just grateful to be in the presence of your work - your true heart's calling that you share so beautifully"

Evan Spector

Breema & Health Practitioner/ Theater Improviser

"Renée has a generosity of spirit, a natural way of making us all feel comfortable enough to vocalize without fear of being judged. And in that freedom, we play vocal games and connect with each other, ultimately creating unique-for-the-moment soundscapes that uplift and transport. Pure fun and joy. She's a tremendous musical talent and a gifted teacher"

Aliria Serna

Biodanza Facilitator

Gracias por abrir estos espacios esenciales donde los seres que entran se empiezan a despojar de sus corazas y miedos para ser ellos y compartir en un espacio de igualdad, donde cada uno es precioso, es visto y disfrutado. Guuuauuu, tanta magia, tanta belleza, tanta fuerza, tanto poder, ... una noche encantadora e inolvidable."

Meyrav Daon

Integrative Health Coach

"I've experienced sound improv with Renée at a women's festival and it was one of the highlights of the event!

The build-up of the class opened me up and connected me with the other participants. We ended up harmonizing together in an elevated and altered state.

I came out of this workshop happy and fulfilled, vibrating all day!"
