Vocal Expressions
Holos, Diamante Valley, Costa Rica
Join us in the sacred Diamante Valley, surrounded by waterfalls, lush jungle and sprawling mountains for a retreat that will focus on how we choose to express ourselves in all the ways we use our voice. Designed to challenge participants to step out of their comfort zones by employing various techniques to access new ways of authentic self-expression.
This happens through group and individual improvisation, movement practice, songwriting exercises and solo performance. Unlike the ‘Root to Heart’ ‘Heart to Crown’ retreats where we focus on healing through the chakra system, ‘Expressions’ explores other esoteric teachings while utilizing creativity itself as a pathway to healing. Just as with the Foundations retreat, no previous singing experience is required and if you are already a singer/performer this retreat will help you to open up more fully to your potential as a creative person. You will never experience your voice the same way again.
Learn and Embody:
- A wider vocal range

- Healing of past trauma for a healthier and happier life
- More confidence and magnetism
- Increased well being and consistent joy
Whether you use your voice professionally, are an experienced singer or just embarking on vocal exploration, this retreat will open you up to the power of your personal vibration, teaching you how to unlock its potential. You will never look at your voice the same way again. Just as with the Foundations retreat, no previous singing experience is required and if you are already a singer/performer this retreat will help you to open up more fully to your potential as a creative person. You will never look at your voice the same way again.

Immerse Yourself
Holos has a stunning bamboo air shala for movement classes and ceremony. We will take a trip down to multiple waterfalls for land initiations and purifications. We'll light up the sky with a fire ceremony and eat nutrient-rich foods in a spacious open-aired lounge. Shower outdoors with views of the Diamante Falls. A place for connection to nature, self and community.
Part performance “boot camp”-part deep dive into further understanding the spiritual component of the voice and how to unlock its full potential.
This retreat is for anyone who wants to understand what is blocking their unique creative flow, improve their ability to perform in front of others and feel confident in expressing themselves authentically.
Each participant receives a ‘master class’ with Maryn, where after they perform a song in front of the group, she instructs them in ways to open up and support their voice based upon her observations. Later in the week each person will have an opportunity to workshop their song in a private session with Maryn in preparation for a final performance, where we’ll get a chance to see and feel the progress after just one week of intensive work.
