Sound Body Wisdom is an experiential form that draws on the wisdom and intelligence of music, the body in motion, awareness practices, performance aspects, somatic-based therapies and life. It incorporates structured exercises and improvisations with both groups and individuals shaping to the needs of every situation. Sound Body Wisdom is a path of discovery through the body, voice, movement, sound, rhythm, emotions, expression, awareness, creativity, new skills and the shifting of patterns.

Jacqueline Westhead is a somatic educator, musician, performance artist and facilitator that began developing this form over a decade ago and has been exploring aspects of it most of her life.
Hey there beautiful person,
It is summer and I am at the end of 9 intensive weeks teaching at Cleveland Public Theater. These teens teach me and inspire me. Off to work at Mich Fest and be with friends, community and the Land so soon.
The Fall brings touring (check shantalamusic.com for schedule), lots of teaching and personal exploration time around this being human.
This past year has brought a grounding and fruition from my practice and teaching. I feel my heart break open with the beauty that each person is and I fall in love with everyone...our 'truths',stories and how we relate to self & other. I am humbled by the blessing and challenge I see and feel all around and within me.
There really is nothing to lose by loving yourself fully moment to moment. Take care of yourself, each other and keep in touch.
blessings.....Jacqueline
