SONG OF the body
retreat
2 night, 3 day retreat
MARGARET RIVER
FEBRUARY 20th-22nd 2025
It is our joy and pleasure to invite you to a weekend of grounding, healing and activation as we open our voices in sound and song and enliven our senses through awakening our embodiment to new depths.
We, (Laura and Mish) are devoted to a path of connection to ourselves, each other and the Earth. Laura brings years of wisdom and teachings on singing, opening the voice and healing through sound and song. Mish brings a deep devotion to the embodied arts and understanding of the bodies innate and natural ways of expressing and experiencing life through the body.
Together, they have created a retreat that weaves both the voice and the body wisdom and practices together to invite an awakening and activation in both these areas. Voice and body are intrinsically connected and when one has an understanding of how to express through both together, it allows for a true rewilding and empowering journey.

Laura Maria Briones
From an early age I have felt strongly attracted to traditional world music and the rituals and ceremonies of different cultures. I was lucky enough to travel around the world since I was ten years old singing in a choir. On those trips my passion for music and tradition grew more and more. From the way of dancing/percussion playing in Japan, to the songs with percussion and dance in South Africa, the didgeridoo in Australia, the traditional songs full of emotion in Russia, the joy of traditional Venezuelan singing and dancing... each trip, each new culture ignited the passion in me more strongly. Seeing/feeling/hearing the deep feeling that comes with community singing and music became a source of inspiration for me. I am trained as a teacher in classical music at the University of La Plata, but upon finishing my degree I decided to dedicate myself to creating spaces where people can express themselves through traditional and folk music singing. In my late twenties I learned the power of music through Indian mantras, icaros and powerful songs in Temazcal and ceremonies. This discovery made my passion for world music take a new flight. Since then I have dedicated myself to learning and sharing music as medicine, creating singing circles, singing workshops, drum circles, kirtans, choir, Ecstatic dance.
