Workshops and book launches in 2017
April 22 – workshop at the Earth Day Celebration
Praise for Becoming Intimate with the Earth workshop:
“Pauline came to Seattle to do a customized presentation for a long term study group focused on connecting humanity with the consciousness of the Natural World. She created a dynamic, interactive session based on specific sections of her book “Becoming Intimate with the Earth” that we had been focusing on. Her ability to engage her audience with themes of both joy and sorrow is authentic. She involves both the mind and the heart in a way that is irresistible. I highly recommend her workshops!”
“I participated in the story-telling workshop in November and honestly, it was life changing for me. I had a moment during the workshop where I felt very brave and inspired to apply for a new job. I got hired and am now doing important work with Indigenous stories and law and the environment. Amazing how things unfold when we let them!” Maxine, participant 2015
Gertie Jocksch, Earth Literacies, Victoria October 2015
What participants have said about Pauline’s vocal classes:
“Pauline Le Bel’s workshops change lives. I witnessed shy people, who have never sung, flower into their purest, most lovely essence… I’ve studied singing for years and never got to this place before.” Corbin Keep, cellist
“Pauline’s work helped me to reawaken to full creativity and freedom. I am deeply grateful to have met her. I hope she will bring her work to multitudes of people. She is a great teacher of voice and artistic beauty.” Vincenzo Guarisco, Bangkok, Thailand, actor
“I love Pauline’s holistic and integrated conception of voice-work. Working with her has been a revelation: I had no idea I could sing the notes and the tones that she suggests. And perhaps most important, the sessions are always fun.” Susanna Braund, bass player
“I find your passion as a music educator really contagious.” Leo Frid, environmentalist
“I feel so much freer about singing now and regret that I hadn’t done something about it a decade ago. Thanks for reminding me that it’s never too late. Lynn Harris-Elliott
“Your lessons were the highlight of my stay on Bowen. I learned more about music in those 3 lessons than in the rest of my life.” Donaleen Saul, writer, singer
“Everyone left open and happy.” Amrita Sondhi, yoga teacher
“This was part of my reinvent myself program and it developed in ways I could never have imagined. You provided the magic, Pauline.” Linda Hargrave, retired nurse.
“I thought I would have to travel to Esalen to study voice in this way.” Beata Barinbaum, musician
“Not only did you foster a safe and creative environment in which to experiment, you did it with enthusiasm and humour and patience. To find that I could stand up and sing in front of the group and without accompaniment was nothing short of astonishing for me.” Tim Rhodes, businessman
“Pauline lifted our hearts and imaginations…Her light-hearted and powerful presence encourages full participation of all ages.” Dianne Shiner, Program Director, Whidbey Institute, Whidbey Island, WA
“The gracious gift of your talent to the other participants at the conference brought memorable moments of tears, laughter, joy, and new understanding for many. I shall not soon forget roaring and dancing and seeing faces around me light up with recognition of their ancestry in the heavens!” Cheryl Genet, Orion Institute, Organizer of The Evolutionary Epic Conference, Oahu
“I admire your ability to create an atmosphere that can so quickly eliminate inhibitions and inspire creativity. I felt entirely safe and not competitive.” Audrey Grescoe, writer
