Hearth initiated in me a musical practice that I had been craving for a while but didn’t know where to start. Helped me to shift focus from “do I sound good” to

“am I creating and expressing myself authentically?”

Ala and Dalani are incredible space holders, teachers, sisters and friends. Their presence is palpable in the containers they hold and they make learning interesting, fun and desirable.

I have a profound sense of gratitude for the opportunity to study with them.

This music cohort was a beautiful experience that came at just the right time to spark a creative awakening for me.

I’m so grateful to Dalani and Ala for creating this space and tending this hearth.

What I thought would simply be learning songs turned into something much deeper. Through yoga breathing, vocal exercises and intentional practice,

I began to open my voice in ways I didn’t know were possible.

I took Ala & Dalani's last music course, and it genuinely impacted me. It helped me grow as a singer not just technically, but emotionally and spiritually.

I learned how to open my voice instead of forcing it. One of the biggest gifts for me was reconnecting to prayer through singing. My voice stopped feeling like performance and started feeling like devotion.

Beyond the music, it brought so many of us closer as a community.

There was something powerful about gathering around shared intention and creativity.

You could feel it.

I love how everyone is at a different level either vocally or with their instruments sharing from the heart.

I also enjoy how you guys changed the program to make it more friendly, the yoga breathing and welcoming.

I loved connecting with amazing people through prayer and music 🎶

I highly recommend this journey.

This experience inspired me to purchase a guitar

and actually want to play!
