You don’t need to be a singer or performer to join this workshop.
Silence • Music • Prayer is for anyone who feels drawn to explore their voice as a pathway to greater presence and self-expression. Whether you already sing or have spent years believing you “can’t,” this space welcomes curiosity rather than performance.
You may feel at home here if you’re looking to reconnect with your creativity, deepen your meditation practice, explore music in a non-judgmental environment, or experience ceremony within a supportive community.
This workshop may not be the right fit if you’re looking for vocal technique training, a performance-based music course, or a highly structured singing program. The focus is on presence and exploration rather than perfecting your voice.
Your voice carries far more than sound—it carries emotion, memory, breath, and presence.
Throughout these four days, you’ll explore the relationship between silence and sound through guided vocal practices, movement, meditation, prayer, and ceremony. Rather than learning how to sing, you’ll discover how your voice can become a natural expression of who you are.
Music becomes less about performance and more about connection—to yourself, to others, and to the world around you.
Each day unfolds by itself, creating space to alternate between practice, reflection, and integration.

For more than two decades, Agni has shared music as a path of healing, prayer, and community. His work weaves together voice, ceremony, meditation, and improvisation, creating spaces where people can rediscover their authentic expression regardless of musical experience.
Rather than teaching people how to sing, Agni invites them to remember that every voice carries its own beauty when it is free from judgment and filled with air.
Songs from a variety of traditions are learned and sung to connect with the elements of nature and Great Spirit.
All these tools come together down at the River where everything that was learned in the workshop is brought into a ceremonial space, raising the songs to prayer around a sacred fire.

“Agni, my inspirer and teacher — when I first attended his Silence Music Prayer workshop, I was deeply moved and enchanted by the way he held the retreat, and by how much love he pours into every part of the process.
I took private lessons with Agni and received unforgettable guidance and practices to liberate and develop my voice. The techniques I learned from him go far beyond vocal training — they help release unnecessary control and tension from the body, allowing the voice to flow freely and naturally.
Agni is always open-hearted and attentive to everyone who comes to him for wisdom. And of course, his magical voice — it passes straight through your heart and remains there as a living prayer forever. I wholeheartedly recommend that everyone give themselves the gift of this experience — to join Agni’s sessions and feel it for themselves. The song I recorded is one I first heard in his song circles in Pachamama, and now this prayer lives within me always.”
