THE VOICE AND WATER TEMPLE
Hi, I’m Sophia.
My first word was 'water'. From a young age, I was entranced by water; its colours, reflections, movements, sounds, beauty and mightiness.
Voice and the act of being in song also captivated me early on.
Later in life, my fascination with water and voice united when I came across the Siren song myth. I spent 15 years diving into the Siren song scene, using this enchanting song as a reference for my vocal practice and my research.
In a world where too many people feel like they 'can't sing', I am passionate about everyone feeling that their voice deserves to be heard. That their voice has as much power as a Siren. Water helps me in this mission.
After I completed my PhD journey, my practice had emerged. This practice combines what I recognise as two voices within me: The one who cares for our vibrations with the one who cares for the waters, creating from that union, tending to our voices and the waters at the same time.
Our water is being polluted and our listening is being polluted. We are in a moment in time where we need to pivot and come into balance, to right our relationship with ourselves, with each other and with our planet. While there is a crumbling, there is also a rising, a renewal, re-birth. Of new initiatives and ways of doing things. Many people don’t want to be a cogwheel in the system anymore. The moment I heard someone say in an interview ‘the temples are being resurrected’, it gave me a thrill and I knew that the temple I am helping resurrect is by the sea.
This Voice and Water Temple space is created to contribute to the rise of the New Earth
I started receiving a vision in my dreams and meditations of a group of people sounding in a circle in the sea. Like voice activists, re-connecting to the salt waters and to their heart's songs. Free, wild and expressed, sounding to the waters in them, in each other and around them, knowing their vibrations were powerfully affecting the water molecules. This group of people would emerge from the sea refreshed, re-set, re-tuned and re-charged. In contact with their true nature, with their power, and with some of the mysteries of their voices unveiled.
I am committed to sharing this vision of a world where we are aware of our water composition, the power of our vibrations, and where we use this awareness to create more harmony.
In 2018, I began creating workshops on experiencing vocal enchantment, integrating myth and water theory with vocal toning exercises. I shared this voice-water practice at practice-research conferences, at water conferences and, what felt most powerful, in the sea waters along different beaches in Sweden.
Working with water helps our vocal power become visible.
We reconnect to the sanctity of our vibratory power and our intricate interconnection to all beings.
We remember what we can do.
Let’s pivot and weave the future we want to live in, into the present.
This is the time.
