How it works

FEEL IT.
BREATHE IT.
LET IT GO.

Scream SLO

A SIMPLE, STEADY ARC.

Nothing complicated. Nothing forced. Just enough structure to help you arrive, express, and leave feeling more grounded.

01

Gather

Arrive, find your spot, and settle in. There is no need to know anyone.

02

Ground

A few minutes of breathing and gentle vocal warm-up—humming and low sounds—before anything louder.

03

Release — optional

Write down what you are letting go of on paper, or simply take a moment to name it quietly.

04

Scream

Together, in rounds, building from quiet to full volume. You choose your pace and volume.

05

Close

A few breaths, a moment of quiet, and then it is done.

Voice safety, folded in naturally

USE YOUR VOICE. YOUR WAY.

Screaming from your throat alone can leave you hoarse. Breathe from your diaphragm: put a hand on your belly, feel it expand, and let the sound come from there.

Warm up with humming before going full volume. Start quieter than you think you need to, then build.

If your throat feels tight or sore, ease back. This is about release, not strain.

Your first time

YOU CAN TAKE IT AT YOUR OWN SPEED.

There is no pressure to participate loudly and no spotlight to step into. Arrive whenever you can, leave whenever you need to, and take up exactly the amount of space that feels right.
