Some inspiring words from past participants:

"I truly mean it when I say attending the retreat with Hanna Leigh was life changing. My intention heading into the retreat was to connect with my singing voice, come back home to my body and have fun. I experienced all of that and so much more than I could have ever expected!

The way Hanna Leigh approached singing with myself and the other participants was with such grace, love and joy. I felt her guide each of us into our voice with gentleness yet powerful support. She made singing fun again. She made it approachable and playful. I loved all of the exercises we played in together, the songs we learned and the chanting. She holds such sacred and embodied space with reverence and levity, helping me to feel safe throughout the whole experience. 

I connected to parts of my Self that had been dormant for years, maybe even my whole life. Thanks to this retreat, I now have a daily practice to connect with my voice and it feels incredibly empowering.

On top of all of this, the retreat location, food, and excursions were beyond my wildest dreams. Wherever you are in your journey with your voice, I highly recommend attending a retreat or workshop with Hanna Leigh. You will leave feeling empowered, beautiful and connected to your true nature! "

"I first discovered Hanna Leigh a few years ago through a YouTube video. Her music has served as sacred medicine for my soul. It has been a dream of my heart to sing my song for the world, while not being held up by my doubts and self criticism. When the vocal activation retreat came to me, I felt that this was something I could say a deep YES! to (in a life where often I allowed my fears to say 'no'). I knew it would be an opportunity to surrender into the unknown...deeper into my vulnerabilities.

Hanna Leigh held a nurturing container in which to experiment with fun methods for loosening up (both vocally and in the body as a whole). I felt the joy in allowing myself to have fun being a stumbling beginner (which has been a resistance of mine). Hanna Leigh is an incredibly soft presence whose grace and understanding guided us through fun vocal exercises as well as many new songs. When she sat in the circle with us and made funny faces or sang with us or encouraged us to just experiment with allowing whatever arose in the moment, I felt something of what it means to let one's voice come alive.

One of my highlights of the retreat was a basket weaving workshop. I had never woven a basket before. The whole process was something that I needed to be walked through and helped with. I was a bumbling fool. In the past I would have felt defeated and not good enough, but this workshop allowed me to embrace myself exactly as I was and to have fun with just feeling the feelings.

This retreat opened me into a new phase of my sense of self-allowing. I feel a brand new chapter has opened for me. I look forward to working with Hanna Leigh more in the future. I am excited where this journey goes from here."
