The Alchemy of Voice: A Doorway to Connection
Creating Songs of Healing and Awakening

Since ancient times, mystics have understood the vibratory power of speech, sound, and song, holding voice as the most sacred of all instruments. In this workshop, Lisa Ishwari Murphy and Marcelle Saraswati Gauvin combine their gifts, guiding a three-stage musical journey for self-healing, creative expression and consciousness awakening. By using singing and songwriting as tools for introspection, participants begin to visualize the freest, most enlivened version of themselves and come to understand what supports this vision or hinders it. With this knowledge, three song cycles are created, each designed to “alchemize” an aspect of this journey toward self-actualization.

Lisa, as an initiated mesa carrier in the Peruvian Q’ero tradition, will use mesa work to help participants free blockages and belief systems that stifle their creative process. Because singing and song are powerful vibrational tools, Lisa, through her mastery of Energy Medicine and Natural Law, will share a formula that connects participants to a field of pure, creative potentiality. As participants learn to deepen their ability to listen through meditation and journeying, the music within them emerges. Melodies of soul songs resurface reconnecting them to who they truly are. This process opens self-expression, re-establishes flow, and accelerates healing by allowing inner gifts that once were buried, veiled, or dormant to come into light again.

Marcelle is a recognized expert in vocal function, a performing artist, and a student of Energy Medicine and Natural Law under Lisa’s tutelage for the past nine years. This study of both science and energetics expands her understanding of the human voice. She carries her experience as a voice retraining specialist and a researcher of yogic mantra and music of earth-based cultures into her teachings. During the workshop, she will help participants develop their unique voice by rooting emerging musical ideas. Any physical, psychological, or emotional obstacles that arise are identified and alchemized through song supported by the Song Pod community. Then the artist’s inner voice begins to freely emerge into full expression using the tools of journaling, songwriting, and vocalizing for conscious awakening and healing.

In this workshop, each participant will create three songs implementing a specific formula to refine and master this musical journey. Performance becomes transformative through a repeatable process that sparks heart-inspired ideas through clear intention. Participants will be given the option to complete this process at their own pace, each song requiring three sessions to seed, alchemize and emerge. For Sva Ha Academy certification, all three songs must be completed, culminating in the final presentation of a unified song cycle. This entire process will be supported by the Song Pod, a safe, judgment-free community of co-creators who support each artist’s process and help them expand and embody their musical creation. Pod consciousness knows the success of one magnifies the success of the group. A community of One-ness is formed, a community that amplifies its own alchemy.

Lisa Ishwari Murphy, Director of the Synergy of Sound and originator of Sva Ha Yoga and Marcelle Saraswati Gauvin, Voice Retraining Specialist, Associate Professor of Voice at Berklee College of Music and Senior faculty member at the Shenandoah Conservatory’s Contemporary Commercial Music Institute join together in facilitating this unique workshop. Lisa is considered a master sound healer with over 30 years of experience and has been mentored by many earth conscious elders (https://fairhavenhealing.com/bio). Marcelle also carries 30 plus years of musical expertise with her as a performing artist, healer, and teacher. Together, they hold the intent of creating Hanaqpacha (Heaven on Earth) for all.

“Any alchemist knows that one cannot do anything without the support of everything”
