Additional information

Sophia has been facilitating inspirational voice and singing workshops for over a decade and is dedicated to supporting people to find an authentic connection with their natural voice.

“Singing is our birth right. We are all born singers. We are sound makers. We are vibration. We are resonant beings. Our voice gives us a direct and embodied experience of ourselves, allowing us to exist in the present moment.”

Sophia holds a nurturing and magical space, weaving together her love of music, people and the land with a lightness of spirit that invites us all to meet and welcome ourselves as we are. She has collected songs from many traditions and cultures, and teaches them in an easeful and embodied style, enabling anyone of any experience to feel the bliss of singing in harmony together.

She incorporates therapeutic voice work, improvisation and ceremony into her offerings, inviting us to sound the parts of us that may have been supressed, honouring the full spectrum of our experience.

“Singing together is a deeply reconnecting and re-membering experience. It’s ancient and vital and brings us into a deeper connection to the power and potency of our being. We sing to pray, we sing to feel our joy and our sorrow, we sing to give thanks and celebrate this gift of life!”
