You will leave this retreat buzzing with life force energy, inspiration, rejuvenation, and deep nourishment from

singing,

opening your channel,

removing vocal blocks,

entering the quantum realm through trance,

feeling more confident to sing and play in front of others,

and enjoying the activation of women in harmony together!

 

This weekend will be reverant, deep, playful, joyful, and fun!

My Name is Larisa Gosla

and I am an international recording and touring musician with years of expertise singing, songwriting, performing, and offering vocal and music programs for people just like YOU to finally step deeper into their musical and creative path. I believe that singing is our birthright and that we are more happy as human beings when we let ourselves express through the power of music. My journey has taken me from performing for thousands of people all around the world, to studying hypnotherapy and sound healing, and to humbly sitting and sharing music in plant medicine ceremonies. My combination of experience, skill, and expertise is here to take you to your next creative levels!

Singing and drumming has been around since we were a very indigenous species! We have used it to pray, to unite, to connect to a power greater than us, to harmonize, to grieve, to celebrate, and so much more! And your voice, your song, your chanting, is unique to you!

We Sing to Heal.  We Sing to Pray. We Sing to Celebrate!
