Leah Hokanson “What does it mean to “have a voice”?”
“What does it mean to be a vibrational being living in a vibratory universe, with an innate ability to make sound that can be used consciously?
Since time immemorial Indigenous cultures and spiritual communities have regarded singing, chanting, toning, and other ways of using the voice as integral to individual and communal wellbeing. Today there is a resurgence of practice and understanding of what these traditions have long known: that the voice is both a portal to presence, and a powerful vibrational medium that can heal and transform. Come and explore – with body, mind and spirit – what it really means to ‘have a voice.’”
Leah Hokanson is a vocalist, pianist, conductor, music educator and facilitator based on Gabriola Island, BC.

She has recently produced two albums: Facets (original songs), and Diamond Chants: The Heart (original musical settings of ecstatic poetry).
