Continuing Professional Development (f/k/a Sustaining Certification)

  • ONLINE VIA ZOOM (Times listed are EDT --New York) New York, NY, 10034 United States (map)

Led by the Master Teacher Team

This biennial workshop (previously known as "Sustaining Certification") is an essential part of continuing professional development and required for all Lessac Certified Trainers. All members of the Lessac Training and Research Institute (LTRI) are also welcome to attend and participate in this enriching 3-hour seminar.

What to Expect

Join us for an interactive and engaging session where we'll delve into new advancements in Kinesensics, answer your questions, and explore the mysteries of bodyvoice training. This course counts toward 3 hours of your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements, in addition to the time spent reading the assigned book (see below).

Workshop Topics

Our discussions will cover a wide range of fascinating subjects, including:

  • Exploring Consonant NRG by expanding on point of contact, pressure, and the musicality of language.

  • Exploring Kinesensics through facilitation language—invitations vs. directions

  • Incorporating human developmental patterns of body and voice into your teaching.

  • Differentiating between Amplitude and Loudness to achieve dense output without excessive volume.

  • Shifting from a mechanical to a biotensegric view of the body, and how this new perspective affects our tune-ups and our perception of interconnectedness.

  • Deepening our understanding of the 5 levels of communicative behavior.

  • Topics submitted by you! Your input is invaluable. We encourage you to submit your topic requests via the Topic Requests link.

Required Reading

Dr. Ingo Titze has generously made his book, "Fascinations with the Human Voice," available to LTRI members at a 25% discount! We'll be using this short but engaging book as a springboard for our discussions. You can find the discounted book and further information in the member portal.
