The voice is the mirror of our soul. It is a channel that reveals your most hidden parts – both the beautiful and the wounded.
By walking the path of the voice, you can awaken your true power. The power that is born in gentle acceptance, in the strong vibration of the heart, and in your courage to sound free and alive.
When the voice is open, it is time to become aware of what you bring to the world through it. Does your voice reflect your heart, your roots, or is it a conversation with the Divine?
During this gathering, you will devote your attention to getting to know, embracing, opening, playing, and creating with your voice. We will sound, breathe, move, chant, and be silent. You will feel how, gradually, through the vibration of the voice, the space of your soul is revealed – alive, feeling, and radiant.
You are invited to feel yourself, each other, the shared space, and the world through sound. First, by descending into your own depths, and then – by sharing your beauty with the world of voice.
This will be a safe, friendly, and loving space to be in complete and authentic connection with your voice, breath, and body.
Gentle, deep, and healing.
About the facilitator: The voice circle will be guided by Dana Indāne-Surkiene (LV/LT) – a vocal improvisation artist, singer, and practitioner of transformational voice work, who has been walking the path of voice awareness for over 15 years. Dana combines vocal creativity with spiritual and energetic practices. The voice is her soul’s path, which has brought her international experience in improvisation, song, and performance projects, and has allowed her, as a workshop facilitator, to help liberate the voices of thousands of people.
At the “Būtība” festival, Dana has previously shared various projects (the group Radana, an improvisation concert with Mitsch Kohn and Dror Parker, the duo BalssBalss, solo concerts, etc.). Her performances move and deeply resonate with both seekers on a spiritual path and every music lover.
One of the most profound transformations she has experienced is a trauma to her singing voice, which led Dana in 2025 to face the challenge of “losing her strong identity” and embark on a deep journey of inner healing. This is her most recent lesson, revealing new strength and previously unknown depths for her ongoing journey.
