Breakthrough Performance Workshop
Rock n Roll Therapy??!!!

Breakthrough Performance workshop is a groundbreaking and electrifying singing workshop. An experience like no other, this unique program allows participants to channel the power of the voice to make transformative, life-affirming changes towards what creator Mick Pulver describes as "a fully expressed life."

Participants break through their fears, inhibitions, and self-prescribed limitations to find their voice--and by extension, greater self-expression, individual healing, and personal power. Individuals and teems benefit in a multitude of ways; greater communication, deeper connection to their passions, joy and personal power.

Pulver, who has been a professional musician since the age of 13, has taken his own musical and self expression , as a performer, musician and singer. He says, "On this journey, I discovered the connection among performing, presence and singing. I found that the voice, particularly singing, is innately one of the most liberating forms of release and expression. Through Breakthrough Performance I've had the opportunity to guide people in reclaiming this state of wholeness and giving themselves more permission to embrace their aliveness."

Pulver created Breakthrough Performance Workshops in 1995 as a way to support others in using the voice as a tool for transformation, healing, and celebration. The Workshop is offered in various formats, ranging in length and intensity from the 2 day Breakthrough Experience Weekend to the 12-week "Off the Deep End" Graduate Workshop. In all of them, people of all ages and singing ability come together to express the essence of their souls and to support each other through the process.

For each workshop, Pulver, and his wife and partner Tess, create an environment that is designed to encourage each person's authentic and unique voice to emerge naturally. Then participants work to shed their layers of inhibition and self-consciousness, and to let more and more of themselves emerge in song. The workshops culminate in a live performance with the Breakthrough Band, which the majority of participants describe as one of the most thrilling experiences of their lives.

Throughout the ages the voice has been utilized for healing, self expression, tribal ritual, much more. Song is used during work, birth and death to engender connection as well as letting go. Some research even suggests that our own voice carries all the healing vibration we each need to come into complete balance. Anyone who can speak can sing. It is not about perfection it is about expression.

Breakthrough Performance Workshops use the voice as a tool for transformation and healing as well as celebration. In all formats from the day-long to the 10 week advanced course people of all ages and singing ability come together to express the essence of the soul and to support each other through the process. An environment is carefully designed that encourages each person's authentic and unique voice to emerge naturally. Through group participation and the willingness to "take the ride" you have the opportunity to see yourself and the world in a new way.

Self confidence and creativity are natural by-products of this process as is the ability to be more present in everyday life."Breakthrough gets you from the inside out" as one of the thousands of graduates so beautifully put it. When the voice is used for the purpose of healing it automatically brings us more present in the body. By just showing up, allowing the music to heal, the voice to open and the spirit to return to the body we become more of who we are.
