Ode Retreat

I want to integrate a truffle ceremony into the three days of voice work and process work during the Ode retreat, because from my personal experience over the past decade, I know how incredibly powerful, healing, and complementary the collaboration between voice and medicine can be.

These are two of my greatest passions in life — and how beautiful it is to let them come together now, in the setting of the Ode retreat for the first time!

Alongside the medicine of our voice, on the second day of this 3-day journey, we will enter ceremony together with a light to medium dose of truffle medicine.

This will not be a microdose — the intention is for the medicine to be tangibly present, so that you can feel its guidance and notice how it begins to work with you. You might call it a lower or medium dose. Of course, the choice of dosage is always yours — micro, mini, or medium — and whether or not you choose to take the truffle at all. We will take time to explore this in depth during the intake conversation, and there will also be space on the day itself to feel into it together with the group.

We consciously and carefully choose this mini/medium dosage because the emphasis of this weekend lies in working with the voice, and in staying present with your awareness in your body and your sound.
You bring your full presence to the ceremony — remaining attuned to what moves within you, and learning how to work with that in real time.

This way, you are invited into a deep connection with your voice, yourself, and the group.
You’ll also have the opportunity to experience what it feels like to sing — alone or together — while journeying with the truffle medicine.

This ceremony is an invitation to touch the mystery without getting lost in it.

Working with the voice and with the sacredness of this beautiful truffle medicine opens the door to an entirely new world — one that may feel closer than you think.
Being in ceremony together brings a sense of coming home, of being fully yourself with all that is, in connection with Spirit, the Divine, your Higher Self.
To be seen — and to witness yourself and others — in vulnerability and safety.
A deep remembering of what humanity has done for as long as we’ve existed. It lives in your DNA:
Together, sounding, singing, sharing in the circle. Deeply connecting.

Because we’ve already opened the field together through grounding and deep process work, the truffle ceremony often becomes an amplifier — helping to further unfold, support, and integrate what has been touched.
Not an overwhelming journey, but a refined expansion. Soft. Earthy. Deep.
Singing together. Laughing, crying, dancing, and resting in silence.

Depending on the energy and the chosen dosage, the first hour(s) of the ceremony will be spent inward — journeying in intimate connection with yourself and the medicine.
We will hold one another in the space as each travels within.
Then, as the field naturally shifts, we may flow into a more shared space — working with the voice, singing, and perhaps bringing forward something that longs to be heard.
(And that doesn’t necessarily mean a song.)

This retreat is an Ode to who you are —
Beyond roles, expectations, or achievements.
A space where there is nothing to be, nothing to do.
Only the invitation to come home.
