About this trip

 

Vocal Expressions Retreat at Holos


This retreat focuses on how we choose to express ourselves in all the ways we use our voice. Designed to challenge participants to step out of their comfort zones by employing various techniques to access new ways of authentic self-expression. This happens through group and individual improvisation, movement practice, songwriting exercises and solo performance. Unlike the ‘Root to Heart’ ‘Heart to Crown’ retreats where we focus on healing through the chakra system, ‘Expressions’ explores other esoteric teachings while utilizing creativity itself as a pathway to healing. 


Part performance “boot camp”-part deep dive into further understanding the spiritual component of the voice and how to unlock its full potential. 

This retreat is for anyone who wants to understand what is blocking their unique creative flow, improve their ability to perform in front of others and feel confident in expressing themselves authentically. 


Each participant receives a ‘master class’ with Maryn, where after they perform a song in front of the group, she instructs them in ways to open up and support their voice based upon her observations.  Later in the week each person will have an opportunity to workshop their song in a private session with Maryn in preparation for a final performance, where we’ll get a chance to see and feel the progress after just one week of intensive work.

Just as with the Foundations retreat, no previous singing experience is required and if you are already a singer/performer this retreat will help you to open up more fully to your potential as a creative person. You will never experience your voice the same way again.


What people can expect from Vocal Transformation work:

⁃ A wider vocal range

⁃ More power and control over their voice

⁃ More dynamic control

⁃ A deeper emotional connection for more effective singing and communicating 

⁃ A deeper connection to one’s soul and purpose, for a more authentic voice and expression

⁃ A greater and more consistent connection to one’s creativity

⁃ Healing of past trauma for a healthier and happier life

⁃ More confidence and magnetism

⁃ Increased well being and consistent joy 


Whether you use your voice professionally, are an experienced singer or just embarking on vocal exploration, this retreat will open you up to the power of your personal vibration, teaching you how to unlock its potential.  You will never look at your voice the same way again.

Vocal Transformation

Vocal Transformation is a modern approach to an ancient method to fully claim the range and resonance of your voice while opening up your connection to the creative that flows through you. It blends the spiritual and the scientific to produce profound results in opening up the full capacity of the human voice. Vocal transformation is a process of deprogramming, that opens the channel for spirit to once again drive the creative process and for the practitioner to reclaim their fullest expression and most powerful voice.

Loved everything about. it. Super special to be with people who are on the same path of awakening and working on similar growth patterns.

Maryn led our group through a truly life changing experience. I cannot believe how much progress I, and EVERYone else in the group, made in just 2 days! Because Maryn truly communicates from her heart, you find yourself gripping to every word -- absorbing more information in a short weekend than you would ever think possible. Thank you for creating such a positive, judgement free environment, and thank you for pushing me! I truly turned over a new leaf with your help. I cannot recommend attending this retreat enough!

From seed to fruition, all aspects of the experience were imbued with love, thoughtfulness, nurturance, and care. Thank you to everyone at Ravencrest!

This was an amazing retreat. Maryn and Mia were fabulous luminaries, creating a safe nurturing environment for growth and exploration. The property was majestic, all of the people on staff are easily approachable, knowledgeable, and wiling to help. The food was fresh, healthy and delicious.

Maryn and Mia provided a wonderful experience using drumming as a means of meditation. We did a vision quest and a spirit journey, as guided meditations, to the accompaniment of drumming. We also did a water ceremony and a pipe ceremony, following Native American traditions (Ojibwa and Lakota), with excellent background explanations and paraphernalia. Also learned Native American chants. Sam Perry gave a wonderful walk-in-the-woods introduction to herbs and their use. We learned and practiced drum rhythms. The food was absolutely suburb vegetarian fare, from the Raven Crest Farm. The experience was fun, meditatively meaningful and full of warm camaraderie. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.
