Allow me to introduce myself: I am Foka – Traveler with Songs. I collect and share what moves me. With the help of my guitar, I create a space for encounter with my voice, other voices, Songs, and also with what lies within us.

❤ What are Songs of the Heart? ❤

This is what I call Songs that I feel were created in the Heart and that also reach straight to the Heart. Songs that bring love for oneself, for others, and for the Universe. Bringing joy, trust, solace, release, forgiveness, and often also prompt reflection. Soothing to the soul, giving strength, inspiration, giving so much… Created by different people, from different cultures, sung in different languages, yet carrying universal messages that can resonate with anyone who opens themselves to them.

❤ What will Journey with Songs of the Heart be like? ❤

The Heartsong Journey is a time and space for encountering your own voice, other voices, and what’s within you.

The songs, if we allow them, can reach very deeply into our being and touch different parts of what we understand by our “self.” Such a touch can evoke strong emotions and inner stirrings, which in turn can lift certain unconscious things from deep within us and bring them closer to the surface.

Importantly, the ability to sing is not necessary to embark on the Heartsong Journey and experience what you may encounter along the way. All that’s needed is your permission to open up to the Songs and what flows from within. I invite you to a space that is welcoming to both those who sing freely and those who want to sing and strive for freedom in singing.

❤ What will the Heartsong Journey look like? ❤

We will sit in a circle, and the Songs will flow from us, within us, and around us – Songs of the heart. We will be accompanied by mindfulness and concentration, though there will also be joy and lightness.

To ground ourselves in the “here and now,” we will begin with a short meditation. Meditation experience is not necessary.

I will lead us in singing with a guitar, and you are welcome to bring a rattle. I do not recommend other instruments as they may be too engaging for you and distract you from what is happening within you. Furthermore, to facilitate your singing, I will prepare the lyrics of the Songs.

❤ How to prepare? ❤

• I encourage you to come with an openness to joining your voice in weaving the soundscape together.
• We will sit on the floor. Each participant will have a blanket/pillow/bolster available, but if you have a favorite pillow, feel free to bring it.
• We will be barefoot in the Contact space. It’s warm, but the floor may be cold. If you’d like, bring slippers or warm socks 🙂
• We will have hot herbs at our disposal. There will be enough mugs for everyone, but I encourage you to bring your own, lockable beverage container to keep your singing throat moist.
• If you need reading glasses, bring them to use the songbook.

Let’s unite in song! You’re welcome! ❤
