Mångata Album RELEASE
Mångata means the shimmering moon light on water.
This album is a cosmic journey inward, an exploration of light in its many hues, a gentle remembering of who we are at our core.
A prayerful offering to the elements and celestial forces that sustain and nurture all forms of life.

testimonials
I feel it was a direct answer to my prayers.
Thank you for this beautiful space that you have held and guided us into. It was much more than what I could have imagined. I feel it was a direct answer to my prayers that I had been making recently. I feel that I have nourished my soul, recharged my inner light and liberated the emotions that were stuck and needed to leave. I saw you and felt you holding the space very solidly for all of us, and this allowed such a needed safety for us to open. If time had allowed, I could have taken another day of songs after the lodge, as a new depth and trust was found afterwards. My heart is full. Thank you to all the beautiful souls for your brave presence in this shared co- created space. ~ Sarah
Accepter ma valeur quand je suis vulnérable.
Merci Rafaelle de leader ces cérémonies de chant. J’ai de la difficulté à demander et accepter l’aide. J’ai souvent peur de déranger, la culpabilité me garde souvent prisonnière. Dans les ateliers, j’apprends à accepter les soins, l’attention. Accepter ma vulnérabilité. Accepter ma valeur quand je suis vulnérable. Je me sens toujours de mieux en mieux après chaque jeudi. Toujours plus solide en moi. Solide en toute fluidité. Fluidité que j’adore éveiller chaque jour en chantant! Merci mille fois. ~ Alice
Only one who genuinely cares for the well-being of others

Returning to my true essence and deep listening
Thank you all beautiful human beings, and to all the women before us for holding me in that space. On a quest and path to honor the Feminine in my life i felt welcomed and safe. ~ Nathalie

More inspiration flowing through me
The vocal expansion helped me ground into my own voice and step into courageously sharing what was alive in me. Calling me into my self. I came out of the training with a deeply rich landscape of sound within me, more ease to sing, more inspiration flowing through me, more courage to trust the songs from within. ~ Rachel
