Song Channeling & Embodied Expression ~ with Ayla Nereo

When we expand the voice and open the creative channel, loosening the fears that hold us back, we open up new pathways of potential for all we do, all we are.

Through trusting our ability to listen and create sound, we learn to trust our own intuition and power to be creators of our lives.

Each time we sing, we find new edges, and by leaning into them we can see who we are becoming. We sing for the Joy of it. And we sing for the Need of it, to make offerings of sound that can ripple out and make beauty and good for this planet.

This is a rare opportunity to experience Ayla’s unique practices, live in person, through her welcoming and artful facilitation that ignites inspiration and helps unlock what might be holding you back from your full creative expression.

No experience singing or making songs required! This is a workshop to open the creative channel that wants to come through You, however it expresses itself. Come wioth your fears of singing, come with your doubts and longing. This is what we transform.

Also includes a special demo from Ayla, sharing a unique behind the scenes look into her process of improvisational channeling and songwriting in real time, and collaboratively creating a song together live.

"We are born

of dust and silence

We are made

of ancient song…"

BIOGRAPHY

“[Ayla’s] relationship with the earth is imprinted in her music… expansive and intriguing.” ~ Billboard

Ayla Nereo is a singer, composer, producer, dancer, and visual-poetry creator raised among the Northern California forests and rivers. Called a “bridger of sound,” Ayla dances between timeless and modern, with a particular joy for cross-pollinating musical styles. Ayla's songs seem a genre unto their own, as she moves between vocal looping, produced beats, live drumming, orchestral string arrangements, Celtic melodies, disco rhythms, electronic soundscapes, and even dashes of hip-hop wordplay.

Having an uncanny ability to crack open the heart, Ayla's music is an ode to the wonder of being human, inviting us deeper into the exquisite and innately psychedelic dream of this moment.

"One of the most poignant voices currently floating about... Ayla Nero is an otherworldly artist who shares the fruits of her soul" — The Huffington Post

Though you’d never know it seeing her perform, Ayla grew up with an intense fear of singing. In her final year of college, songs began pouring through her, and it was only through the constant urging of those around her that she began to slowly share her music. Propelled by the songs themselves, Ayla’s journey of meeting those fears and singing through them has grown her into the powerful performer and facilitator she is today, touching an ever-widening global audience with the inspiring magic of her songs.

Ayla just released her 7th solo album, 'SOVEREIGN KIN - Book I: The Spark' - the first in a four-part saga moving through the elements. Book II is coming in late 2024.

Calling us to listen deeper, her songs are elegant masterpieces of lucid storytelling, with lyrics ringing as anthems for planetary healing, human potential, and the mirror of compassion in each moment.
