As the name suggests, VOICEANIC is an invitation to merge with the ocean of vocal sounds—and in doing so, to fully immerse yourself in your own voice as well as the voices of others. Through simple breathing and body exercises, you’ll be gently and playfully guided to unfold your natural voice as a tool for healing—for yourself and for others. Experiencing resonance with other voices is deeply joyful, invigorating, and unifying for body, mind, and soul.
With the right intention, the voice becomes a bridge for healing energy; many describe the feeling of being literally bathed in light while singing. We work according to a simple formula: Intention + Voice = Healing.
This workshop welcomes ALL voices, whether trained or not. It’s not about singing “perfectly,” but about the willingness to open up to your own natural voice—a voice that belongs entirely to you and possesses a unique quality. We work both individually and in groups, always at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for everyone.
About MAMAS OF PEARL
They are Annette Odimer (Norway/Denmark) and Veronika Stalder (Switzerland). As vocal sound healers and dedicated leaders of voice workshops and singing circles, they have many years of experience composing ceremonial music for healing and rituals.They met in Spain during their international training as vocal sound therapists with Githa Ben David. They immediately recognized a kindred spirit in one another—two artists dedicated to the same path of healing and harmonization through the human voice. From this encounter, the duo MAMAS OF PEARL was born. Their symbol is mother-of-pearl: the inner lining of the shell that transforms a painful grain of sand into a pearl. Like the shell, we too use our voices to transform pain into beauty—and we see exactly that in our course participants: precious pearls, grown from their own stories.
What unites the two musicians is a deep passion for creating spaces of trust where people can come together and sing—to rediscover, together, their truth and a sense of oneness.
