Star Gathering Family Weekend 2023

September 1 or 2 - September 4

Finding Your Authentic Voice

Our voice is a barometer of truth, an audible expression of who we are. When we deepen our relationship with our voice, we deepen our relationship with ourselves. As we explore the three spheres of the voice – public, private, and inner voice, we discover our soul voice at the core. Reclaiming the wildness of our soul voice frees our personal power for authentic self-expression. Workshops during Star Gathering Family Weekend will explore the voice in experiential ways, including writing, drawing, speaking, toning, and singing.

Program Speaker

Peggo Horstmann Hodes will be leading us as we explore the theme, “Finding One’s Authentic Voice”. Peggo is gifted in engaging groups of people in energetic and playful ways. She is a singer, teacher, conductor, and composer. A classically trained singer, Peggo holds advanced degrees from the New England Conservatory and Lesley College. She is the Director of the Songweavers and the Northern Lights Ensemble at the Concord Community Music School. Peggo has sung on numerous recordings and created Vibrant Voice workshops to help people find their voice. She is the author of Your Wild Voice, a new book headed for publication. Peggo lives in Kittery Point, Maine with her husband, Paul, and their furry pal, Scuppers.
