🎶 Awaken Your Voice: A Vocal Journey with Matia Kalli 🎶
Sunday, October 19th | 10:30 AM – 3:30 PM
Join us for a soulful 5-hour immersion designed to awaken your voice, deepen your sense of harmony, and reconnect you to the joy of spontaneous expression. Guided by Matia Kalli, this journey invites you into a playful and reverent space where your voice becomes an instrument of truth, healing, and connection.
Through vocal play, group improvisation, song sharing, and cacao ceremony, we’ll explore the power of sound to open the heart, dissolve self-consciousness, and create collective resonance. Whether you’re new to singing or a seasoned vocalist, you’ll be held in a nurturing container that honors presence over perfection, and authenticity over performance.
Expect to:
✨ Explore major scale play, harmony, and rhythm
✨ Learn to listen with your whole body
✨ Sing in circle and co-create living sound
✨ Engage in somatic vocal practices to release fear
✨ Connect deeply with self and others through music
Bring a notebook, pen, water bottle, and an open heart. No singing experience needed—just your willingness to show up and sound out.
