Retreat Highlights

The Power of Sound touches us on all levels from the physiological to the emotional, mental and Spiritual levels. Sound is vibration, we are vibration, and sound therefore has the capacity to lift us, calm us and nourish us when it used for self healing.
When we sing we are not just receiving sound, we are making the sound, the vibrations created are felt viscerally through the entire body at a cellular level. We are ultimately reprogramming our cellular memory to be in a state of harmony.
Therefore the Power of our OWN Voice is our ultimate healing tool.
Voice Medicine is ultimately self healing through unlocking our own voices. It is about discovering that which is limiting our self expression, and working to overcome the inner judgement, criticism and all of the old stories that tell us we don’t deserve to be heard.
In this 30 day program, Hayley Saraswati will guide us through establishing daily exercises to find our vocal freedom, and ultimately discovering the medicine of our own unique sound.
Join us, and let’s set ourselves free.
What to Expect:
Each week, there will be explanatory videos (less than 30-90 minutes per week) to guide us through all of the practices we will be exploring.
We will establish a Daily Practice following along to recorded audios, that will commence at a commitment of 35 minutes, and build towards 55 minutes per day in the last week of the program.
You will experience a total transformation of your relationship to your voice, a huge improvement in vocal quality, a larger capacity in your vocal range, and most of all; an increased state of harmony that will emanate into all of the aspects of your life.
You will be accompanied by the vibrant Sound Ceremony Sangha to guide, support and carry you on your journey.
Are you ready?
Let’s get started.

About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

The only moment you will ever experience life is now. The only experience you will ever have is this. What can be known outside of it? We imagine we want something more only because we haven’t yet seen the magnitude of what’s here. Not the content of the moment, but the mystery of its being.

This presence, this awareness, this life—unfolding now—is the path and the doorway and the home and the one who enters. The entire teaching, the whole truth, wrapped in silence and given to you now. And now. And now.

Medicine in Every Moment

During my time in Guatemala, I was welcomed into the home of the shaman and his wife. From very first day, I felt the balance created by their partnership. Together, they held the space with a combination of strength and warmth that seemed to flow naturally between them. It felt like an expression of the divine feminine and divine masculine in harmony, which set the tone for the entire retreat.

The shaman carried a deep well of wisdom and presence. He responded to questions with patience and clarity, offering guidance that felt both gentle and precise. There were times when just a few words from him brought a sense of calm or understanding that stayed with me long after.

His wife contributed an equally powerful energy; quiet, grounding, and compassionate. The way they moved around each other and the group created an atmosphere that felt deeply respectful and held. I often noticed how attuned they were to what was happening in the space and in each person.

The ceremonies were held in the temple, surrounded by volcanic mountains and waters that seemed alive in their own way. The energy of the land itself felt like an essential part of the medicine, something that reached into every aspect of the experience. There were moments I could feel the volcanic earth under my feet and a sense that the place itself was working with us.

Each detail... the songs of the musicians, the attentiveness of the facilitators, the meals prepared and shared together, felt connected to this same living field. For me, the medicine was not only in the ceremony but in every interaction, every quiet moment, every step taken on the land.

Throughout the retreat, everything felt integrated as one whole experience. Nothing stood apart or felt separate. I left with a sense of having been welcomed into something complete, alive, and profoundly healing. By the end, I felt almost as if all the participants were good friends. There was a natural closeness and trust between us that arose from sharing an experience shaped with so much wisdom and care. Read More
