SUMMARY:Presenter\, Science of Consciousness Conference 2022
DESCRIPTION:I’m honored to present my monologue\, Songs\, Psychedelics and Seizures: A One-Woman Flow at the Science of Consciousness Conference 2022. Sponsored by the University of Arizona in Tucson (my alma mater)\, this year’s program includes such consciousness studies leaders as Roger Penrose\, Dennis McKenna\, Robin Carhart-Harris\, Katrin Preller\, Christof Koch\, Elizabeth Krasnoff and Deepak Chopra. \nI’ve chosen a topic\, Flow\, with which I’m deeply familiar. Through these three flow states\, or Flow Gates as I call them\, and aided by forces both animal and ethereal\, I’ve experienced a connection into a larger matrix and become the thing I was doing. If science is identifying that a psychedelic quiets the Default Mode Network and avails a person of other forms of conscious attainment\, well this has existed in art since forever. My profession is about functioning outside the DMN. I’m hired and paid to flow and to insert my tiny little straw into the vastness of consciousness. \nPsychedelics is a quicker way to this flow state than the dedicated practice that performance art requires. A seizure state is just another way into something vast and mysterious and moreover essential. How do I know? Because I’ve come back each time with new language. \nThrough these sacred lenses of music\, medicine and the mystery of epilepsy\, I’ve been able to draw a cosmic umbilical cord back to Source\, back to my Essence and from my Essence back to here. I’ve discovered that Flow is my natural and ordinary state and that this\, the DMN\, is the altered\, non-ordinary state. It’s a playspace for consciousness. \nLet me tell you a story about a singing experience so peak and optimal\, that when I left the stage I said: “If that’s the last song I ever sing\, may that be the one.” Let me tell you about the nearness of death that has accompanied me since my first psychedelic trip ended.But first\, let me tell you about a hawk. \nTo view the monologue\, click here. \nTo view a trailer of the talk\, follow this link. \nYou’ll find my Abstract on page 277 of the Science of Consciousness Conference program.

SUMMARY:Workshop -  "Stage Might: Harnessing Your Fear of Public Speaking"
DESCRIPTION:Though this event has passed\, you can follow this link to WATCH THE CLASS as it happened on Zoom:\nhttps://creativemornings.com/talks/stage-might-harnessing-your-fear-of-public-speaking \n  \nFrom Karen’s Stagecraft series ~ \nABOUT THIS VIRTUAL WORKSHOP\nWe all speak in public and yet public speaking is something most of us have never been taught. Most of us have a mortal fear of going before others to share information\, open our hearts and use our bodies to communicate effectively.\nLearning to surrender by stepping both into and away from your message is what makes for honest\, persuasive and artful presentations. In this workshop\, acclaimed singer-actress Karen Kohler shares her performance techniques and tools to help you relax on stage\, expand your confidence\, identify where your story-telling voice resonates most with your truth\, and ladder up from fright to might. Topics from her methodology in stagecraft include Intention\, Fear as Fuel\, The Faculties of Observation and Empathy\, Tapping the Universals\, Self-Collection\, Audience Rapport and more. \nWORKSHOP FORMAT\n✔️ We’ll begin with an overview of what defines a stage in our current paradigm of live\, virtual and hybrid forms of presentation\, followed by a brief talk about the nature of fear particularly as it pertains to public speaking. \n✔️ From there\, we’ll launch into a free-write around memories and experiences of self-expression\, such as the ones we’ve experienced in childhood\, at school or family gatherings\, in public forums\, or as recently as at a team meeting here in the virtual realm. This will be followed by a visualization around Karen Kohler’s techniques of Playing Opposites\, Taking Risks and Tapping the Universals and is designed to offer an alternate perspective on the lived and embodied experience. \n✔️ We’ll have break-out rooms to share our experiences. \n✔️ Next\, we’ll choose a message with which to explore Intention\, Fear as Fuel\, Self-Collection and Audience Rapport. This will be followed by a guided visualization around how to universalize our message and own it\, and how to best deliver it by understanding the true nature of the role of the audience. \n✔️ We’ll again have break-out rooms to practice stepping up and expressing ourselves. \n✔️ We’ll share out at the end and leave with a better understanding of our public speaking anxiety and self-doubt\, and our general relationship with fear. We’ll take away tools we can use to access a deeper level of comfort with our messages\, vocal instrument and connection with our audience by harnessing stage fright as an ally in our quest for honest\, authentic self-expression. \nYOU’LL LEAVE WITH…\n* Life-long exercises you can use to access a deeper level of truth-telling in your presentations and story-telling.\n* Techniques to harness your fear\, befriend it and convert it into fuel.\n* Tips for better posture that will facilitate relaxed breathing.\n* Vocal awareness\, dynamics and pacing that will enhance your presentation.\n* Body language and gesture that will compliment your message rather than draw attention away from it.\n* Greater confidence and enthusiasm. \n–\nSponsored by Creative Mornings\, FieldTrips are a celebration of creativity and generosity. They are free and hosted by awesome individuals and organizations who volunteer their time! When you sign up\, please show up. Most FieldTrips have waitlists due to significant interest and limited space.

SUMMARY:Workshop for JazzVoice.com (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:From Karen’s Stagecraft series ~ \nROOM: The Great Big Art of the Small\nAre you drawn to intimate performance art?\nDo you have material in mind to bring to a cabaret room\, open-mic or salon?\nDo you find the technical aspects of performing in a club daunting\, irrespective of its size?\nWould you say that even your pop songs are art songs? \nABOUT THIS SKILLS BUILDING WORKSHOP\nStagecraft is the study of song interpretation and stage command as a context for experiencing self and life. Learning to master the art of performance is in itself a path to freedom. It is a continuous weaving of awareness and as the craft is undertaken and improved\, the artist experiences greater and greater comfort and authenticity on-stage and creative possibilities both on-stage and off. \nIn her popular master classes and workshops\, singer-actress Karen Kohler combines traditional theater techniques with storytelling and staging developed in over 25 years as an international singer-actress\, director\, producer and ensemble leader. \nWORKSHOP WISDOM\nIn this skills building class\, we learn to harness the elements of performance and staging when delivering giant sentiments in intimate spaces. \nPART 1 – SINGER & SONG\nFirst we focus on the main ingredients of your offering or act: the song and the spoken word (patter). Core concepts of the KOHLER METHOD that can help you fine-tune your offering in an intimate Room setting include: Carriage and Silhouette\, Gesture\, Taking Risks\, Self-Collection\, the Drama of Silence. \nYou’ll leave with tools of how to embody a big message in a small space\, how to inhabit your body both in stillness and in motion\, and how to command a room by accessing the power of connection to bring your audience to you and to themselves. \nPART 2 – STAGE & SETTING\nNext we turn our attention to the stage setting that frames our offering. Core concepts of the KOHLER METHOD include: Four Walls of Theater\, Blocking & Movement\, Self-Direction\, Mic Technique\, Audience Rapport. We’ll cover key elements of staging (lighting\, sound\, costume\, props\, furniture and equipment)\, as well as how to communicate with your on-stage and off-stage collaborators. \nYou’ll expand your awareness of the role that space plays in your artistry\, and how sound\, light and generosity as well as silence\, darkness and simplicity work together in service to your unforgettable performance. \nCLASS INFO:\nhttps://www.jazzvoice.com/bookings-checkout/room-the-great-big-art-of-the-small \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER: https://www.facebook.com/events/250148199653036

SUMMARY:Workshop - "BACKSTORY: Retrieving Your Childhood Artist
DESCRIPTION:From Karen’s Lifecraft series ~ \nABOUT THIS VIRTUAL WORKSHOP\nWhat if you knew that you’re exactly in the right place in your artistry right now\, and that all paths and detours have been artful and of service already. That’s right. You’re here because you’re ready to connect the threads of your life and own the artist you are and were born to be. \nKaren created this workshop upon hearing from many people over the years about how their earliest artistic inclinations were discouraged\, negatively judged and thwarted to varying degrees. She has felt the longing they still carry to follow their true nature. \nWORKSHOP WISDOM\nIn BACKSTORY we examine the beliefs imparted to us by our parents\, teachers and culture at large about art\, artists and the wisdom (or foolishness) of pursuing a life in the arts. \nThose who love us often fear for us and for our wellbeing. There are endless stigmas around the pursuit of art as life’s work. The story of the starving artist has accompanied humankind for eons and is in need of rewriting! True wealth is firstly and lastly measured by how full the heart is. \nIn BACKSTORY we summon our feelings\, share our stories and\, in community\, help each other reframe our beliefs. Imagine that by simply nurturing the artist in everyone\, we might heal the world. \nYOU’LL LEAVE WITH… \n* Free writing techniques to bring you in contact with your earliest dreams and sense of your artistry.\n* Exercises to practice sharing your personal tale and see its existing perfection.\n* Tools to quiet the external noise and practice voicing your truth.\n* Role play exercises to expand your storytelling skills and strengthen your empathy and forgiveness muscles.\n* Meditation practices for attuning to your voice and intuition at any stage of life.\n* A community of fellow life artists that supports you unconditionally. \nIMPORTANT: Students are requested to have a journal or notebook on hand for writing exercises. \n–\nSponsored by Creative Mornings\, FieldTrips are a celebration of creativity and generosity. They are free and hosted by awesome individuals and organizations who volunteer their time! When you sign up\, please show up.

SUMMARY:Workshop - "GIVE IT UP!: Quit What You’re Doing for What Wants to Be Doing You"
DESCRIPTION:From Karen’s Lifecraft series ~ \nGIVE IT UP!: Quit What You’re Doing for What Wants to Be Doing You\nABOUT THIS WORKSHOP\nWe’re all born gifted and talented. It isn’t important when we follow our inner voice but that we follow it. Learning to trust ourselves is what much of this game of life is about. As we step onto our rightful path\, we magically draw to us everything and everyone we need for our journey. The trick is in learning to listen closely\, examine deeply\, and be willing to move off center again and again. Your inner guide is who is being born\, nurtured and tested here. \nWORKSHOP WISDOM\nGIVE IT UP! is for those of us ready to experience alignment\, whether it’s for the very first time\, or at this moment in time. Living your authentic life is precisely about enduring stretches of doubt\, confusion and even heartbreak for the sake of a greater truth or clarity. It’s precisely because the choice is difficult that makes it so valuable and personal\, no matter the outcome which can’t be known in advance. It’s the “leap-of-faith” muscle that you are training here. \nBalancing the voices outside of you is among the key steps in developing an ear for the inner voice that is your intuition and in-born wisdom. Karen will share stories from her own life of when she has stood at the crossroad of two very significant (and in their way positive) opportunities and how she learned to make her no-regrets life choice. As in all of her Lifecraft training\, Karen will guide you in witnessing your inner critic\, sifting through the stories and rationale influencing your choices and enlisting your servant forces (fear\, doubt\, anxiety) as advocates along your authentic path. \nHonoring and following your inner voice (and inner call) is the goal. Under Karen’s guidance\, you’ll begin to access a deeper sense for what that voice is communicating to you. You’ll unpack some preconceptions and unravel some myths around what may be holding you back in being who you were born to be and doing what you most want to do. \nYOU’LL LEAVE WITH…\n* A new outlook on true professional fulfillment and bliss.\n* Tools to claim the creator in you\, and master architect of your life.\n* Exercises for self-examination of your goals and dreams.\n* A buddy\, if you so choose\, to help you stay on course and course-correct.\n* A nurturing community that supports your growth. \nIMPORTANT: Students are requested to bring a journal or notebook for writing exercises. \n–\nSponsored by Creative Mornings\, FieldTrips are a celebration of creativity and generosity. They are free and hosted by awesome individuals and organizations who volunteer their time! When you sign up\, please show up. Most FieldTrips have waitlists due to significant interest and limited space.

SUMMARY:New Website Unveiled
DESCRIPTION:Dear Friends & Fans\, \nYou may have noticed that I’ve been a bit removed from the public eye in the last few years. After nearly two decades of non-stop performing\, directing and producing\, I had the urge to retreat\, reflect and channel new aspects of my artistic being. Now I’m ready to share them. \nAnd so it is with great pleasure that I unveil the new KarenKohler.com where my passions as Singer\, Writer\, Guide and Gatherer fuel the theme of life artistry at the center of worldview. This project has been a labor of love over many months\, with talented collaborators (see Site Credits) who’ve helped me hone my vision\, weave the many red threads of my life into a new tapestry and teach me how to co-create the site so I can help manage it going forward. \nIt’s all here in one sumptuous place. ENJOY!
