    HANNAH SAMIRA
    (Sweden)
    Mythoteller, Singer , Song Writer 

    I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember. I sing to soothe myself, to get to know myself, to move feelings and stuckness, transform and express. I enjoy myself through singing, it brings me to this moment, to my truth and acceptance. And because it’s fun! And cause it can be shared Making music together is one of my greatest joys in life. But I know how it is to feel blocked too, believe me. I found that with singing it’s all about our relationship to ourselves. It can be both vulnerable and scary - especially if we want to share our voice with others. Exposing ourselves can be one of the scariest and most rewarding things we can do. It’s an exciting journey and so much appreciated We live in a world where there are professional singers and the rest of us are supposed to listen. But that’s not how it used to be. Considering mankind has been roaming this earth for a loooong time - most of that time singing was for everyone. It was a way of keeping the mood up through long hours of physical work, a way to grieve together when dear ones passed, a way to support a woman in labor, a way to heal, pray, communicate with spirits, call for rain and praise life. I think it’s about time we reclaim our voice and sing - because it's truly a gift that we can.

    SUZİN AKALAN
    (TÜRKİYE)
    Singer, Sound Healer

    The beloved child of life, the ocean in a drop, a human being devoted to listening, a mother, a comrade. My musical journey started by listening, my father is a very good music listener, he always made me listen to different types of music, he always supported me in trying the instruments I was passionate about. My music teacher in secondary school played both flute and guitar, and I was very impressed. We also had a group at school, again with the support of our teacher, and I discovered my passion for singing there. I also started writing poetry at that age, the lyrics of the songs interested me very much, there were songs that I listened to just because I liked the lyrics, and there still are. Then, I started trying out compositions with enthusiasm, trying to figure out how to make my own words heard. It took me years to find the courage to share and claim my voice. On the one hand, a journey of recovery to heal my own wounds, and then a journey of experiencing and learning many practices such as meditation/energy work began, and thanks to my very valuable teachers, my voice is now solely mine. At this point, with a little courage, a little curiosity, and a little step into the unknown, I went to Auroville to receive training on sound healing. The time I spent there made me forget everything I knew about music and sound and reminded me of myself. It changed my life in ways I could never have imagined. I have been practicing sound meditation with my voice and words for a while now.

      JADE HELENE DUEZ
      (FRANCE)
      Esoteric Tarot Reader

      Meeting with the esoteric divinatory cartomancy and ancestral medicines by Jade Hélène DUEZ: The Tarot of Marseille Originally from the north of France, Jade-Hélène started practicing divination with cards at the age of 7. She is passionate about parasympathetic science in all its forms and experienced a spiritual awakening during her adolescence. She gave her first astrology consultations, interpreted dreams at the age of 19, and discovered the Tarot of Marseille by Grimaud. This ancient and mysterious divination tool became the central object of her research, leading her to specialize in teaching it, starting in 2003 in Saint-Tropez, in the south of France. She established her consulting firm and appeared on Europe 2 and Radio Saint-Tropez for a few years, where she created an innovative program centered around wellness, alternative medicine, and ecology. She is well-regarded by her clients and audience both for her readings of Tarot and Oracles and for her ability to guide personal transformations. Jade-Hélène continues her evolution by exploring personal development practices, such as naturopathy and rebirthing, combining her psychic and parapsychological skills with natural therapies. At 24, she pursued her two passions: esotericism and journalism. Today, she hosts conferences, workshops on Rebirthing (the liberation of emotional memories from intrauterine life to the overcoming of current mental limits), and training courses on the Tarot of Marseille up to its alchemical dimension. She consults and teaches in France and abroad. Always seeking knowledge and dedicated to preserving ancient traditions, she has been drawn to ancestral Amerindian traditions and the practice of shamanism within the FSI (Fuego Sagrado d'Itzachilatlan in Mexico). She has been initiated into ancestral medicine ceremonies of indigenous peoples and has become a facilitator of Temazcal ceremonies in France. For the past 15 years, she has been dedicated to practices in these fields, devoting her life to healing and raising consciousness.
