VALUE YOUR VOICE
saturday JUNE 22nd 2024
VALUE YOUR VOICE IS A TRANSFORMATIONAL IMMERSION TO OWN YOUR WORTH AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY stand in THE VALUE YOU SERVE.
value your voice is not just a voice immersion….
You are being called into an initiation to hold your deepest worth and an identity shift into embodying the most empowered valuable version of yourself.
THIS EVENT IS TAKING PLACE IN 2 PARTS:
PART 1 IS A 4 HOUR IN PERSON LONDON IMMERSION ON JUNE 22ND 2-6PM
PART 2 IS AN ONLINE 2 HOUR INTEGRATION/ GROUP MENTORSHIP SESSION A WEEK LATER AT A TIME TBC WITH THE GROUP.
THERE ARE 2 OPTIONS TO BOOK EITHER PART 1 ONLY OR BOTH WITH AN EARLY BIRD ON THE PART 2 MENTORSHIP OPTION WHICH HOLDS THE MOST VALUE.
ALL DETAILS AND STRUCTURE OF THE EVENT ARE BELOW.
WHY I HAVE CREATED VALUE YOUR VOICE
The energy of Value Your Voice is UNAPOLOGETIC PERMISSION to be MORE of who you really are as the most important embodiment work you can do for your voice and confidence.
I know how vulnerable and terrifying it can feel to speak up, be more seen and share yourself and your gifts with the world. I have known the voices of I’m not enough/I’m too much since I was a child. I also know how liberating it is to practice moving those voices through my body to be able to speak and stand more confidently in more of who I really am, be who I came to be and do what I came here to do. And I know it is possible for you too.
HOW TO VALUE YOUR VOICE
The way we are going to practise embodying self value is to see all the places in yourself you deny and hide as that is precisely where your deepest value lies.
You will go into all the ways you devalue your voice to revalue it, reignite it and reveal it…
the ways you stay quiet when you really want to speak, you will bring those valuable words up and out
the things you dislike and dismiss about yourself, you will see those “so called shite” bits in a new affirmative light
the ways you don’t show up and be seen, you will show yourself anyway in all of your messy, imperfect humanity
the ways you doubt, downplay and diminish your talents, skills and gifts you will shift you into sharing them with unapologetic permission and be celebrated
the times you don’t stand up for yourself, you will stand in your power
the raw emotions you don’t let yourself feel you will be held in the highest warmth as you hold yourself there
the dream and desires you don’t let yourself fully have, you will own them and feel worthy of them
I have written a practice manifesto below for the event which is what we will be embodying through the modalities of the somatic and creative arts in a full power supportive community.
We cannot hold our voices alone, we absolutely need others in the trenches of self worth work with us to help us hold our own.
If these words move you, trust that urge as a sign you are burning for these parts of you to be expressed and heard…

18. To value yourself is to hold your nerve as you show up, take risks, serve your WORDS AND gifts without shrinking, even if that means you are disliked, un-good, disapproved, misunderstood, you understand this is what it takes to make impact for your own and the greater good.
19. To value your voice is to let yourself be fully seen so you can stand shoulder to shoulder with those who recognise your light, the “shite” bits you hide and still walk with you side by side.

DIGESTION, INTEGRATION, SUPPORT AND CREATIVE DIRECTION
Voice and confidence work is a deep dive and in my nearly decade of experience of holding this kind of space, it’s vital and valuable to process what came up in an immersion in the continued co-regulation of encouragement and connection of the community. I am pumped to offer a hugely valuable 2 hour online creative direction and sound-boarding session to digest and express any feelings, realisations, stories, art, ideas, projects and works in process to give you invaluable behind the scenes support to keep embodying your value before you go out there and serve it to the world. Each person will get individual support. We will share what feels sticky and sparky in your voice and heart in a supportive and encouraging online community hearth.
Due to the service based nature of this work there are no refunds or transfers.
Upon signing up you will receive an email of confirmation of your purchase and nearer the event another email of how to prep for it.

THE ENERGETIC VIBE :
THE WAY I HOLD SPACE
My expression immersions offer the full spectrum of being highly practical and creative in equal measure; they are part activation, part practice, part co-creation, part mentorship. The spaces I hold are unapologetically emotionally expressive and human, trauma informed, deeply supportive, tender, warm, sassy, funny, brave and encouraging. Your voice will be heard, celebrated and held up. Everything is an invitation not an expectation with many points to pause and check in with your boundaries, your embodied and personal capacity.
THIS IS FOR YOU
If you are ready to invest in your expression, make a choice to value your voice and willing to do the vulnerable and emotionally mature work of self responsibility to own it and make art from all that you are!
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU
If you are not willing or able to be vulnerable, curious and compassionate to yourself when you go into tender places. If you are not ready and open to be taken into edges of comfortable discomfort as a necessary part of growth of leaning into your edges and stretching into unknown parts of yourself and your voice. If you are in a deeply triggered place, this work is not a replacement for therapy and not advised if you are in a mentally unstable place.
What the community says
‘Whenever I go into one of her events I spend the first 10 minutes (and some of the middle and later bits 🤣) thinking, oh fuck why did I come, and planning an escape route 😆😆😆
This work encourages (but definitely never forces) you to step out of your comfort zone, towards full expression. Terrifying, and so important. It asks us to be seen and valued by others and ourselves, with so much love and compassion. Each time there is so much joy and so many revelations and integrations. Full head and body healing. Thank you for understanding the nuance and complexity of it all Francesca and curating these sessions with love and humour and courage - cos it certainly requires bravery from a facilitator to hold this kind of space, pure modelling of vulnerability, while still keeping the space safe and brave … allowing us to feel and show the same vulnerability.’
— Writer and facilitator, Chloe Elizabeth George
‘Francesca is an incredible facilitator. The hold your own voice event was a beautiful combination of community connection, deep reflection and joy. Francesca’s incredibly intuitive and skilled, sensing into what’s needed in the space and working flexibly to blend her wisdom of movement, music, psychology and more to create a safe and brave space where you can explore and expand yourself in creative ways. Thank you Francesca for a wonderful experience, I’m so grateful for all the ways you’re helping me to connect and express more of myself. I mean every word and am genuinely so thankful you’re in my life.’
— Long term voice and artistry mentee, Gabriella Cartwright
I attended Francesca’s Hold Your Own Voice Event not really knowing what to expect and left feeling held and heard in community. The event allowed raw, unfiltered self expression. Francesca created a safe environment to feel all emotions and encouraged us to hold our own voice outside of the workshop. Francesca is a true inspiration when it comes to embracing self expression, she has a real gift for building community and allowing others to express their authentic self without fear or judgement. I can’t wait for more events!
