Radical Relating Through The Natural Voice, with Anthony Johnston

In our conversation, Anthony shares the essence of Singing in the Wild, his five-day retreat that I've been on twice (17 years ago and more recently just a few weeks ago).

I had such a transformative time that I invited Anthony onto the podcast to share the genuine magic of this work!

Many of us were told, somewhere along the way, that we couldn’t sing. Maybe we were asked to stay quiet, to lip-sync or not to make too much noise; these moments can go deep and restrict us - that is, until we decide we want to go beyond those limits.

This retreat gently meets that wounding, offering a space where each person's natural, unique voice is welcomed, just as it is.

It’s not about performance or hitting the right notes. It’s about remembering what it means to express rather than perform, and reconnecting with the sacredness that lives in sound, loving presence, and connection.

What emerges is nothing short of magical.

When we step beyond judgment and self-consciousness into pure expression, something shifts fundamentally in our nervous system.

'The voice is not just a musical instrument,' Anthony explains, 'it actually IS the person.'

Through practices he calls 'radical relating', participants learn to be fully present with each other without fixing, advising, or turning away - creating moments of profound connection where the boundaries between self and other begin to dissolve.

This conversation vibrates with the truth that transformation happens not through technical improvement, but through authentic connection.

Whether you've been silenced or simply yearn for deeper relationships with yourself and others, this work offers a pathway home to our most natural and authentic expression.
