Confronting the Patterns that Silence Us

Cameron Altaras and Sharla Nafziger

Insidious mechanisms and their seemingly benign patterns in society and religion have silenced women. We have succumbed to, and even colluded with these patterns, allowing them to reshape or repress our voices, leaving the truth that lies within us unheard and unspoken. Four lectures - part theory, part personal story - and creative responses to them, from a unique online prayer intensive, conceived by Janet Conner, called Free Your Voice, led by Cameron Altaras and her sister, Sharla Nafziger, a professional singer and voice teacher. Together they explore the physiological and emotional scars left by thousands of years of philosophical and religious suppression of the feminine, and the healing power of awakening our own creative voices.
