Unlock the Power of Your Voice: Join Our Authentic Voice Workshop
December 3-6
"You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories." - Anne Lamott
Step through a portal designed to unlock and elevate the unique parts of you that are eager to be expressed and truly heard.
The Authentic Voice workshop is not just about vocal technique; it's a deeply personal journey of self-expression, healing, and empowerment.
It's about transforming fear into freedom, turning silence into song.
When you enroll in The Authentic Voice, you commit to nurturing your creative potential, initiating a profound healing process, and embracing the power of living and expressing your full truth.
Participants often leave our workshops profoundly transformed, having formed enduring friendships and communities that continue to flourish long after the retreat ends.
Many have broken through creative blocks to bring their unique art into the world, and some have even found healing in throat and thyroid-related issues.

Lead Facilitator
Shelley DeMarco
Shelley DeMarco's journey into the realm of holistic healing and transformation is deeply rooted in a life surrounded by music and the arts. Growing up in a musical household with classical singers and musical performers, Shelley spent countless hours immersed in the rich tapestries of classical operas and the vibrant scenes of Broadway shows in New York City. This exposure not only fostered her love for music but also deepened her appreciation for its profound power to heal, inspire, and evoke deep emotional responses.
As a psychedelic integration specialist and ceremonialist, Shelley seamlessly combines ancient traditions with modern insights, guiding individuals through transformative experiences enriched by sacred ceremonies.
For Shelley, transformation is not merely a concept but a lived experience—an all-encompassing journey that engages the mind, body, spirit, and beyond. Her integrative approach weaves together the healing powers of sound, energy work, and sacred plant medicine, creating a nurturing environment for those in pursuit of deep change, healing, and self-discovery.
Guided by the wisdom of Maria Sabina's words, "You are the medicine," Shelley continues to be led in her mission and purpose to help others and strives to be a compelling force in the field of holistic health, dedicated to empowering others to unlock their potential and embrace their own path to healing, health and joy.
Lead Facilitator
Mark
Mark is a seasoned guide and mentor in the realms of holistic wellness and transformative healing. With a profound understanding that true health encompasses the emotional, spiritual, and physical, Mark's passion is in supporting others on their journeys to self-healing and peak wellbeing.
His approach is deeply rooted in the synergistic power of sacred ceremony and the transformative practices of energy work. Mark believes that by engaging with these powerful tools, individuals can tap into their innate capacity for self-repair and emerge revitalized.
Nature immersion is another cornerstone of Mark's methodology. He advocates for the therapeutic effects of connecting with the earth and encourages individuals to embrace the outdoors as a space for reflection, rejuvenation, and inspiration. Mark often leads retreats in serene natural settings, allowing participants to disconnect from the distractions of modern life and forge a deeper connection with the natural world.
At the heart of Mark's philosophy is the belief that each person holds the key to their own healing. He sees himself as a facilitator rather than a healer, empowering individuals to unlock their own potential and guiding them as they transform into the healthiest versions of themselves. His work is a testament to the transformative power of holistic practices and the human capacity for profound change.
