Agenda
MORNING
GOOD VIBRATIONS: YOUR VOICE, SINGING & POWERFUL VOCAL TECHNIQUES with Piper Hayes
We are not necessarily taught how to speak or sing powerfully. In fact, we have often been conditioned to suppress our vocal power. The voice and how we use it can connect us with some of the most vulnerable
aspects of self-expression, and with each other. Debunk mythology, learn somatic practices and enhance
your understanding of technique to best utilize your voice and care for these aspects of identity long term.
This is a workshop for all who use their voice; from speaking to singing, caregiving to teaching, performance
and beyond. Feel into your authentic self and claim your fullness.
________________________________________________________________________
AFTERNOON
Choose one of these 3 workshop choices:
PV – YOUR OWN PERSONAL VERSAL with Nancy Ellison
Versals are decorated letters which were used by medieval scribes to begin verses or text. These large
capital letters were often ornate, illuminated with gold and had tiny illustrations that referred to the text.
You will create a colourful decorated initial letter as a stand-alone project using watercolors. All materials
will be supplied.
FA - FLOW THROUGH THE ARTS with Theresa Randles
Many of us don’t realize how valuable the arts are to us, regardless of whether we are ‘artistic’, or not.
Immersing oneself in music, visual art or the written word can be relaxing, healing or even inspiring. This
workshop is meant to offer moments of immersion and an appreciation for how the arts can offer you
much needed moments of ‘flow’ in your lives.
CM - DABBLING IN CREATIVE MEMOIR with Anne Pollard
There are many reasons for putting our life stories down on paper: to remember experiences that are
important to us, to leave a legacy for children or grandchildren. Sometimes, however, the real meat
of a story can be told more poignantly with a creative – and often ridiculous – turn of phrase.
Join Anne in her class reminiscing as we have fun digging up the stories of our lives and replanting them
any which way we want. Suitable for people with all levels of writing experience. Just bring your sense of
whimsy.

A FLOWFUL WRAP-UP with Linda Rourke
Leave calmer, looser and steadier on your feet in just 30 minutes. We begin by slowing the breath, the
quickest way to shift your nervous system out of rush mode and into calm. From the support of a chair,
gentle twists and stretches wake up the spine and restore the rotation we tend to lose with age. Then we
rise to standing and put that new steadiness to work in balance poses that build core strength and sharpen
the brain-body connection, which research links to a healthy heart and mind. Every pose has a supported
option, so come exactly as you are.
** Wear comfortable clothes for the day _______________________________________________________________________
Speakers & Presenters
Piper Hayes makes music to express the joys and the challenges of life. Her presence onstage is natural
and inviting, her voice powerful. She is a story weaver, risk-taker, and advocate for mental health and social justice. Piper is a Hamilton Arts Award Creator nominee, two time nominee of the OAC's Colleen Peterson
Song writing Award and trauma informed somatic voice and expression coach. She was a professor at
Centennial College for 8 years and former co-director of Hamilton Sings! Community Choir. Piper designs
music programming for organizations geared toward adults with disabilities; has teamed up with the
Canadian Mental Health Organization to deliver music and mental-wellness workshops; nurtures singalongs
and facilitates songwriting workshops in the community; she is a songwriter participant for the Lullabies
project and on the artist roster for the Massey Hall and Roy Thomson Hall's education outreach team; as
well as a mum of two (soon to be three) little humans. Piper will draw you in with her warmth and leave you
remembering who you are.
Nancy Ellison is a retired teacher-librarian. She has run watercolour workshops with students, dabbled
in various artistic forms of creativity - watercolors, acrylics, oils, calligraphy, knitting, needlework,
woodcarving and medieval illuminations, of which she has taken classes. ‘Mostly, I just make things that I
do not need but I need to do it.’
Theresa Randles is a retired secondary school Visual Arts and Philosophy teacher. She is an encaustic
painter and uses her work as a way to raise funds and awareness for social justice causes. A member of
Grandmothers of Steel since its creation in 2006, Theresa merges her art with her approach to life.
Anne Pollard (she/her) lives in Hamilton on the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and Mississaugas of the Credit. The mother of four beautiful (adult) children, Anne has
been a teacher of English as a Second Language, adoption educator, pizza maker, chamber maid, and
census-taker. She completed the University of Toronto’s Creative Writing Certificate Program and is
runner-up for the 2026 Janice Colbert Poetry Award. Her work has appeared in Grain, Dandelion, Arc, and
NewPoetry. Anne has been a member of Grandmothers of Steel since 2019.
Linda (Freeman) Rourke, a seasoned host, writer, and producer, brings over 30 years of experience
interviewing top experts across current affairs, including health, wellness, fashion, décor, and all things
lifestyle. A natural storyteller and conversationalist, she has a gift for putting people at ease, drawing out
the best in every guest and story. This past January, she returned to host Hamilton Life on Cable 14.
Beyond media, Linda is a certified yoga instructor and an entrepreneur at heart.
Her passion for sustainability shines through her clothing and home décor
upcycling business, blending creativity with conscious living.
Health and wellness have always been central to her career, shaping her work
across television, radio, and now podcasting. From hosting weather for over a decade (because, let’s face it, weather impacts everything!) to morning shows and daytime lifestyle programs, Linda brings warmth, energy, and authenticity. Now
fully immersed in the podcast space as a podcast host, writer and producer. Everything Lifestyle and Amplify Canada top the list. She continues to inspire, inform, and engage, breathing life into every conversation she leads.
Grandmothers of Steel would like to thank the speakers and presenters for sharing their time and
expertise, and Marshall Memorial Church for partnering with us in presenting this event.
