A 2.5-Hour Somatic Sound Retreat with Dr. Michelle Greenwell & Ann-Marie Boudreau

This powerful retreat explores how posture, alignment, and the voice work together to support the body’s natural healing processes. Join vocal sound practitioner Ann-Marie Boudreau and movement/posture specialist Dr. Michelle Greenwell for an afternoon of discovery that will help you understand your body from the inside out.

Through guided movement, breath, and structured vocal resonance, you will learn how sound interacts with spinal alignment, diaphragm mobility, reflex patterns, and the subtle biofield. This retreat highlights how small postural shifts can dramatically change the way sound vibrates through the body—supporting relaxation, nervous system regulation, pain reduction, and emotional clarity.

What You Will Experience

• Explore how posture shapes your voice—and your wellbeing

• Learn gentle alignment strategies that enhance sonic healing

• Discover how vocal tones activate supportive neuromuscular and energetic pathways

• Participate in a posture-informed sound journey for whole-body recalibration

• Engage in partner or small-group resonance explorations

• Receive simple, meaningful home practices to continue your healing

This retreat is a beautiful next step for those who joined us in February, yet it also stands alone as a profound introduction to sound-supported postural healing.

The tremendous effort, creativity, and teamwork required to have the Silver Dart first flown in Canada was undertaken by Alexander Graham Bell and his researchers and inventors, achieving the flight in Feb 1909 on the Baddeck Bay ice.  Mabel Bell served sandwiches and Raspberry, Lemon Shrub to the guests.  Our Cape Breton tea blend brings the tradition of black tea to the forefront with the esteemed recognition that Pu-erh receives by tea drinkers.  Raspberry and Lemon were brought to the forefront to honour Mabel’s Shrub recipe.

This rich black tea is infused with the flavour of lavender and supported by the petals of chamomile, rose and cornflower.  The first sip brings in the rich tradition of a black tea, and then the senses pick up the power of each flower to build a bouquet.  Milk is not required for this blend.  High in antioxidants and medium with caffeine, it is the perfect tea for an afternoon celebration with sweets or sandwiches.

The reference to 1713 is inspired by the rich history of the Fortress of Louisbourg.  Many visitors to Cape Breton Island enjoy the historical site and its period costumes and living for the 18th century.  Louisbourg was a rich source of fish when first established in 1713, and the Fortress became an important trade point for Canadian resources.  On the river banks where the fish were salted and dried, you could find the flowers added to this blend.
