ABOUT THE RETREAT
Free the Voice is a four-day course held at the first new moon of the dark half of the year, during the Samhain / Álfablót period. This is a time traditionally associated with endings, ancestors, and the thinning of the veil between worlds. This pagan gathering is shaped as a journey inward, where voice becomes a tool for presence, courage, and connection.
Together with musician Jonas Loretzen, we explore the voice beyond performance. You do not need to “know how to sing.” The work is about sounding, listening, breathing, and daring to be heard. Through simple vocal practices, song circles, chant, ritual, silence, and reflection, we create a space where the voice can move freely, without pressure or expectation.
Alongside the voice work, the retreat includes meditation, workshops, ceremony, and time in nature. We move in rhythm with the season. There is space to rest, walk, write, sit by the fire, and integrate what arises. And you get the change to deepen your practice and learn more about our ancestral spiritual practices.
Free the Voice is for those who feel a pull toward the dark season, who sense that something wants to be expressed, released, or remembered. It is for those who are willing to be a little brave, to listen deeply, and to let their voice become a bridge between the inner world and the outer one.
POWER OF THE VOICE
Through his Voice Activation Workshops, Jonas guides people back to one of humanity’s oldest forms of connection: song. These workshops are not about performance or technique. They are about remembering what the voice truly is: a living instrument for connection, healing, and transformation.
We explore the body as a resonant vessel, the breath as the bridge between worlds, and song as a way to awaken a deeper sense of self. Participants are invited to rediscover the natural power of their own voice: to listen, to release, and to find harmony together in sound.
Drawing from ancient singing traditions and modern understandings of physiology and psychology, the workshops offer a space that is both grounding and uplifting, a reminder that song is medicine, and that we heal not alone, but together.
