BREAKING THE SILENCE
When I ask you about your relationship to voice
I hear many of you saying:
but something invisible seems to get in the way.
When I go to sing or speak, the self-judgement, shame,
and other mental noise gets too loud, and I stop myself.
I know I have things to say, and that I have something beautiful to share,
but it's like there are hands over my mouth stopping me.
I know what it’s like to have the unmistakable Urge from within beckoning you to:
:: BREAKING THE SILENCE ::
I want this for you!
Silence Is A Cage. It's Time To Break Free.
Banish the lies you've been telling yourself.
This Experience Is For You If:
- You want to reclaim your voice and speak your truth with confidence
- You feel held back by fear, past trauma, or self-doubt
- You are ready to move beyond self-silencing and embrace fearless expression
- You love the power of music, singing, and ritual creativity in healing and transformation
- Your desire a supportive, sacred space to explore and strengthen you vocal presence
- You are a Vocalist of any level who wants to go deeper into the somatic experience of where you come from when you share
- You are new to opening up your voice and want a space to be held while going beyond your comfort zone
- You are desiring to be guided into deeper places you haven't been able to access on your own
- You are a Creative who want a dedicated space to explore where you shackle your rawest expression
- You are a Space holder who want a container to receive, get resourced and invigorated in your practice
- You are a Soul who is curious about exploring new depths of the psyche through creative play
4 F's That Prevent Us From Sharing Our Authentic Voice
When we perceive the possibility of threat, whether it be from a tone of voice, facial expression, loud sound, the content of what someone is sharing with is, or the environment we are stepping into, we can often find ourselves opting into one of the 4 F's
Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Fawn
FIGHT:
The fight response prepares to go on the offense before we really know what has happened. Suddenly our blood is boiling, we're seeing red, and launching into attack mode. Protect at all costs.
FLIGHT:
The flight response says 'this is overwhelming, I'm out of here!' We retreat from the space, we might even leave our body, or split into fantasy. This leaving pattern can happen in a split second- before we even know it. We've left ourselves.
FREEZE:
When the freeze response kicks in, we might go numb. We move slowly or not at all, we're shaking. Unable to function in the situation from agency, having disconnected from a sense of core safety. To freeze is to not be seen. To freeze would allow us time to figure out how to get out of there.
FAWN:
When we go into fawning, a fear kicks in around abandonment or being harmed. Perhaps fighting or fleeing weren't viable options, and so the people pleaser comes in to rescue the day, even if we're dying inside. We're saying yes, shaping ourselves into what we think the moment wants from us. We take on more than is ours to do. We're pandering to algorithms and everything we say is 'please don't hurt me. I'll do anything just love me and don't leave me.'
Your Voice Is A Gift
Liberate It!
The Medicine of the Witness
Take off the Masks You've Worn
Let the witness open you to the range of sensations that are guiding your body to the truth.
The Role of witnessing these phases of our somatic responses allows us to notice them when they are happening in the moment.
When we are mirrored accurately, we can begin to move through them into honoring ourselves while honoring the other.
The Fight Lives in All Of Us
Forgive Yourself
Witness Your Inherent Dignity
"The space Marya creates and holds is one of the most exquisite that I have had the pleasure to participate in. I am deeply honored and grateful to have found her as a teacher, muse and fellow sister.
I felt so held with love, grace, compassion, humor and celebration by Marya and all of the folks in the session. This experience has only confirmed my love and devotion for the power of sound and the voice to heal ourselves and the planet as a life path. This journey is absolutely delicious, deep and life changing."

Why Do We Stop Singing?
They become the cages our words live in.
"I can't hear you."
"You're too different."
"You sound too complicated."
"You're not memorable."
It can be really painful to carry these voices inside of us, and yet when we finally release the shame, and connect to our true voice, the freedom is Euphoric!!
Join Us and Break the Silence
Step into a space of deep healing, vocal liberation, and fearless truth-telling.
This is your moment to release old fears,
claim the power of your voice,
and embody the truth of your words.
Whether you are just getting started on your path of opening your voice or you're a seasoned adept in voice and expression,
Breaking the Silence is a space to activate new depth with your instrument
and catalyze the change of leaning in to your current leading truth.
Building relationship with the resourceful ones inside of us
Warrior Protector
Invoke the warrior protector in you, who wields the thunder of compassionate wrath upon the one that seeks to threaten. Trust the one who arises to say 'no. 'She who is the guardian of light and the one who fearlessly wields the blade cutting through fear and silence.
How deeply into the darkness would you go if you knew she was always there, thunderbolt in hand?
The Guardian
Invoke the wise parent within, generative, nurturing and giving. She who tends to the inner fire, embraces the inner child, listening to the subtle whispers and offers empathy. She sees with eyes of compassion the ones inside of you who need care.
Let the mother hold you, singing with you the songs inside of you that have been forgotten and ache to be remembered. All of your exiled parts are welcome in her hearth.
The Oracle Muse
Invoke the one who opens to the gates of knowing beyond appearances, seeking knowledge and truth that can only found within. The depth of your emotionaility does not deter her, but invites her to breathe under water as you explore together the depths.
Open the channel to receive the integrations of the one who knows life and death as one. Ask the questions that will lead you to liberation. The Muse does not fear what she does not know, she seeks to understand it, and leads with curiosity.
The Innocent Sage
The Innocent Sage stands at the threshold of the dawn, and laughs. She shatters illusions that fear is something that you must carry. She speaks from a place of new beginning, letting imagination and curiosity lead the way.
She invites you to play, dispelling the voices of doubt and judgement. She does not hold back for fear of looking the fool, as there is a permeating innocence to each step towards the truth. She does not seek to be understood. She seeks only to sing her way to the present.

"Marya is beyond brilliant.
A true bard goddess muse of ancient times come to bless us with magic!
Her work was instrumental in me anchoring daily practices that have helped move me forward in my creations.
How she weaves together her knowledge is very special and so needed.
It is both a journey of healing and creativity.
I am still feeling the ripple effects of the course I took with her long after it’s completion!
Highly recommend this journey."
