Free Your Voice, Sound Your Soul: A Shamanic Journey of Vocal Reclamation
One of the things I have noticed in many of my sound baths over the years, is how much energetic throat healing I do for groups before and during a session, accompanied by my instruments.
In the two years before we were all locked down, I started running a popular workshop called Free Your Voice, Sound Your Soul. I have been sitting with it for the past year and a half or more wondering when I should reintroduce it and that time is now.
It has evolved into a 4 part series of retreat day workshops, giving you time in between each one (if you decide to attend all 4) to integrate and practice and to complete personal journals on your journey’s progress. Each one may also be attended as a standalone but please be aware that the work gets deeper as we go forward so it would be beneficial to come together as a group and form a bond of trust between you as we go forward into deeper work. These then culminate in a residential weekend.
My questions for you are these:
- Do you ever feel a physical lump or a blockage in your throat when you want to speak your truth?
- Do you stop yourself from speaking up and then hold that energy inside?
- Does your voice shake when you set a boundary or do you keep quiet rather than set them?
- Do you dislike the sound of your own voice when it is played back to you?
- Do you speak in a rush, in fear or anxiety, and the words come out all wrong and then spend ages agonising about it over and over it in your head?
Your voice is the primary instrument of your soul’s manifestation, it carries the vibration of your soul which affects our physical, mental, emotional, etheric and spiritual bodies. Vibration is powerful; a manifestor, a healer a releaser, a recallibrator. What we say, especially to ourselves, matters, yet life has often taught us to quieten our power to keep the peace or because we have been criticised or are staying small and so on.
If any of the above resonated with you, I invite you to step across the threshold into Free Your Voice, Sound Your Soul—a dedicated, 4-part series of deep somatic and shamanic day-retreats designed to systematically unblock, release, and manifest your authentic expression.
Please note: This is nothing to do with singing. You do not need to be musical. This is about raw, unfiltered energetic reclamation. It is about learning to let your soul make sound, without judgment and the first workshop retreat day is a taster and the first step onto a path of reclaiming your voice and hearing your soul speak clearly through it.
This September, 26th 2026, I invite you to step away from the noise and enter a sacred, historic container designed to unblock your creative fire, release old conditioning, and awaken your authentic expression.
Held in the beautiful Haywain Barn at the high-vibrational Hellens Manor, Much Marcle, this day retreat blends somatic voice practices with deep ritual. Together, as part of the retreat workshop, we will walk the manor's physical yew labyrinth—an ancient geometric path of transformation and, weather permitting, walk down to the 1.500-year-old yew tree in Much Marcle church grounds.
Part 1: Befriending the Self – Overcoming the Fear of Being Heard.
A Shamanic Exploration, Release and Manifestation, Assisted by the Yew Tree
September 26th 2026 | Haywain Barn, Hellens Manor, Much Marcle, Herefordshire


On this foundational day-retreat workshop, we will be looking at the baseline static that keeps us quiet: the core discomfort, self-consciousness, and fear of taking up space with our sound. Together, we will use voice liberation practices and the manor’s historic yew labyrinth to physically and emotionally shift what holds us back.
Yew is a beautiful, powerful tree of death and rebirth and is superbly protective, making it the perfect tree to work with on these workshops.
- The Drum Journey: Connecting you to your voice, your truth and relaxing you as we start the day
- The Vocal Warm Ups: Exercises to start warming up the voice, noticing blocks, getting things moving. This will be playful and light.
- The Inbound Release: As we walk into the labyrinth, you will be accompanied by the frequency of a channelled instrument, intentionally played to help you physically shed the fear of judgment and let go of suppression.
- The Center Unblocking: At the absolute heart of the labyrinth, you will open the throat chakra, quiet the inner critic, and anchor your true right to be heard.
- The Outbound Manifestation: As you step outward back into the world, guided by a second channelled instrument, you will anchor your sovereign presence and speak your future into existence.
- Ancient Grounding: Weather permitting, we will conclude our day with a short pilgrimage to sit within the hollow belly of Much Marcle’s famous 1,500-year-old sacred Churchyard Yew Tree, absorbing its ancient, rooted medicine.
What this retreat workshop may bring:
*Hear the joy of your soul's vibration through your voice
*Open up your throat chakra
*Gain confidence in using your voice, which will transfer into day to day life
*Make friends with your voice
*Boost your self esteem.
*Learn how to be silly without judgement of yourself
*Shown how to have fun with your voice
*Use voice and movement to shake off those shackles and restraints a lot of us have around our vocal chords and expression.
*You will be encouraged to express yourselves freely, wildly and marvellously!
*And to channel whatever comes through to you without thinking about it
*You may leave smiling, feeling uplifted and liberated ♥
