Body & Voice | A Journey Inwards and Outwards
Our voice is a mirror. How do you express yourself? Do you hold back? Do you push or force your voice? Can you allow your feelings into your expression? Do you dare to speak your truth? Do you dare to use your voice?
Evelien and Anna invite you to connect more deeply with your body and your feelings, and from there begin to express yourself through your voice. This workshop is about allowing your natural voice to emerge and giving space to it.
The body knows the way. When we connect to our body and allow our experience to resonate in our voice, it opens a pathway to greater freedom — the freedom to be your unique self. At the same time, we practice staying present and connected with others.
What can you expect?
We begin with gentle exercises to help you land in your body and turn inward. You are invited to slow down and feel what is moving in you right now.
From there, we gradually move toward expression — beginning with yourself. You might start with a soft hum; perhaps it gently grows into singing, or other sounds begin to emerge. Whatever wants to arise is welcome.
Then we invite you to let yourself be heard and received by another, in a space free of expectation or judgment. Allow yourself to be surprised by what unfolds. In meeting your voice in this way, you may discover new layers of feeling and expression — sometimes liberating, sometimes searching, deep or light — shifting naturally from moment to moment.
The afternoon offers space to experience and to simply allow what unfolds. There is room to share how it felt for you, if you wish. We gently invite reflection: What touched or surprised you — in yourself or in another? What questions arose? And what would you like to explore further?
We create a safe and confidential space, where humor and lightness coexist with authenticity and real connection.
The workshop takes place within a school module of the Netherlands Institute for Core Energetics. You will see and feel that you are in a very lively place, where people relate to each other with openness. Before and after the workshop, you can meet people from all over Europe who are engaged in a personal development journey or professional training.
Open for everyone, no prior experience needed. Welcome!
For Dutch-speaking participants, translation is always available.

Evelien Bus
Evelien Bus is co-director of the Netherlands Institute of Core Energetics, the place where she herself trained and grew into her profession. For over ten years she has been working in her own practice, accompanying people in deep and embodied processes of change. In her work, Evelien brings grounding, warmth, humor, and a fine energetic sensitivity. She has a special love for working with the voice. Again and again, she sees how much aliveness is hidden there — and how powerful it can be when people gently open the space to express what has long been held back.
