Reader,

Have you ever wanted to sing or play music—but worried you’re just not “musical” enough?

I’ve always loved singing and playing music, even though I’ve never considered myself someone with innate musical talent. Over time, I’ve come to realize that my musicality lives more in my ability to feel than in my technical ability.
​
​There is something profoundly opening about connecting with your voice and with sound. It can stir something deep within us—a feeling, a memory, a sense of aliveness—and awaken a connection to ourselves and to something greater.

And yet, even when we long to express ourselves, we can sometimes feel inhibited. We may worry about how we sound, whether we’re doing it “right,” or whether we’re musical enough.

Do you ever feel this way?

If so, I’d love to introduce you to the handpan.

The handpan is a magical, mysterious, and incredibly welcoming instrument. It invites you to play. It doesn’t demand perfection or years of training. It is forgiving, generous, and surprisingly easy to connect with.

You don’t need to know how to read music. You don’t need to consider yourself a musician. You simply need to be curious and willing to listen.

My dear friend Marina Sobol is a gifted handpan musician, songstress, and Voice Journey facilitator based in New York. This fall, she’ll be joining us here at Twin Pond for a special Handpan & Voice Discovery Weekend Retreat.

Throughout the weekend, Marina will guide you in exploring the handpan and your own voice in a supportive, playful, and deeply nourishing environment.

And you won’t need to bring an instrument—we’ll provide the handpans for you.

Imagine spending a weekend:

• discovering the magic of the handpan
• playing and learning in a welcoming, judgment-free environment
• exploring your own voice
• experiencing deeply relaxing sound baths
• practicing yoga
• connecting with nature
• sharing delicious meals
• and simply giving yourself permission to play, listen, feel, and express

You may discover that being musical isn’t about having the “right” abilities.

Maybe it’s about having the courage to listen to what’s already inside you—and let it be heard.

If that speaks to you, we’d love to have you join us.
