Solana The Artist invites you to ground your Monday out over one hour of mellow soundscapes and poetic notions to ponder on.
About the experience:
This is an offering in which you come as you are at the end of your day and simply bathe in the soothing tones of Solana’s ethereal voice and various instruments, allowing any stress accumulated throughout your day to melt away. There is nothing for you to do, just be held in the experience of sound.
About your facilitator:
Solana the Artist is a Vocal Alchemist, Musician & Ceremonialist.
Through the universal language of sound and her own unique expression of it, Solana invokes a range of raw emotions that inspire a softening into an elevated state of consciousness, allowing her audience to access ancient memories that are embedded in the body and soul as they immerse in her ethereal song.
Solana's intuitively weaved creations are a blend of ancient Middle Eastern inspired calls, primal/often non-linguistic vocal expressions, and world instruments.
While having shared her incomparable sound since 2014 in various settings all over the world, Solana also inspires and empowers people to re-ignite their own natural voice. Solana often weaves this reclamation of voice into her ceremonial offerings, performances & concerts as she is very passionate about the powers and potential that our voices hold. Solana wholeheartedly believes that our voices liberated and united can have a massive impact on changing the vibration of this world.
