Women’s Ceremonial Choir

A devotional singing circle for ceremony, healing, and rites of passage

The Women’s Ceremonial Choir is not a traditional performance choir, but a devotional gathering where women come together to explore the voice as a sacred instrument of healing and remembrance.

Rooted in sisterhood and communion with the Divine Feminine, we sing to mark life’s passages, honour endings and beginnings, and offer our voices as blessing — for ourselves, for our community, and wherever we are called to serve.

The Power of singing in Sisterhood

Across cultures and generations, women have gathered to sing — to heal, pray, grieve, celebrate, and invoke the sacred. Singing together stirs something ancient and primordial within us, reconnecting us with the wisdom of our ancestors and the feminine lineages that have been lost or silenced.

Sound is vibration, and vibration is a powerful force of transformation. Through toning, humming, and chanting, we calm the nervous system, invite the release of held emotion, and allow energy to move through the body.

In a world that has long constrained feminine expression, many women have learned to make their voices small, quiet, or pleasing, rather than wild, free and sovereign.

With the Women’s ceremonial choir- singing together in this safe and supportive space becomes an act of joy, reclamation, and remembrance of who we are.

The Practice of Vocal Alchemy

At the heart of the Women’s Ceremonial Choir is the practice of Vocal Alchemy — working with voice to create living sonic landscapes that support healing, embodiment, and transformation.

Through sounding, toning, and sacred feminine chants from traditions around the world, our voices together become a living, breathing field of transformation - here, breakthroughs unfold through the coherence and love the group field amplifies and supports.

Ceremony, Healing, and the Sacred Use of Voice

The Women’s Ceremonial Choir is devoted to creating sacred containers where voice is used intentionally and reverently to facilitate experiences of healing and transformation.

In these ceremonial spaces, grief may surface, joy may arise, memories may stir, and long-held emotional or somatic layers may soften and release.

Each ceremony is guided by deep attunement — to the individual, to the group, and to what is unfolding in the moment. In this way, sound becomes a form of prayer, blessing, and communal/collective healing.

The Vision for the
Women’s Ceremonial Choir

The vision for the Women’s Ceremonial Choir extends beyond personal practice. This choir is being shaped as a living body of service — a collective of women trained to hold ceremonial sound with presence, and devotion.

We envision offering voice and ceremony in service of women across the many thresholds of life, including:

  • Rites of passage for girls and young women

  • Ceremonies honouring the stages of womanhood — Maiden, Mother, Matriarch, and Crone

  • Postpartum sound care and nourishment for new mothers

  • Ceremonial support for women in deep grief, loss, or transition

  • Palliative and end-of-life sound accompaniment

  • Offerings within women’s centres, healing spaces, and community gatherings

  • Wherever else we are called to serve

This is not only work for ourselves, but a commitment to the wider community. As the choir matures, we envision carrying these songs outward — radiating the wisdom and of the feminine voice as an act of service and blessing.

Testimonials

  • Tatiana’s song circles are held in a container of beauty, gentleness, and warm presence. We gather with women, and have permission to explore and play with our voices, in a safe space where no note is "wrong", and everything is welcome. The songs are all incredibly beautiful, and Tatiana is skilled both as a musician, and at intuitively guiding and holding this sacred container with grace and authenticity. This work can be powerful, transformative, and deeply healing for the parts of us that may have been told to stay quiet and small, or that we couldn't sing. Tatania has a true gift, and I am so grateful to have been a part of these beautiful offerings!

  • It was an honour and deep joy to be a part of Tatiana's vocal alchemy for women workshop. It was a very comforting and precious space to sit in with the other ladies who were participating. For the first time, I sang a solo and volunteered to go first! It was incredibly empowering and I felt inspired and proud to finally make peace with my voice and trust it in a singing out loud capacity. The songs and music she created and selected made all of us connect into the source of our blessed womanly roots, as far back as our dna could reach! Tatiana, you are such a gem, thank you for this work.

    Jennifer Jai Loria

  • As a young girl I was told I was tone deaf so couldn’t get a lead singing role in the musicals. I was also told I talked a lot so I learned to hold my tongue.  Although over the years I expressed myself through movement, coaching, community capacity building and conversation circles, coming together in a sacred singing circle with strangers created a freedom and liberty for the frogs in my throat to croak.  Thank you for creating space for me and my first small singing solo, dry and raspy, and just right!

    Christabelle Kux-Kardos

  • What a wonderful experience! Although I was only able to participate twice before Tatiana left on her journey I can confidently say her mastery, joy and beauty affected me profoundly. It is rare to meet someone so talented whose whole modus operandi is to create space for beauty and truth to flourish holistically. I am grateful for the time together and if you have an opportunity and you love exploring  your voice you will be grateful also!

    Brenda Pulvermacher

  • What an extraordinary experience! Tatiana’s presence is both grounding and luminous, and the way she weaves mythology, music, and embodiment together is pure artistry. Singing in her circle felt like remembering the language of my own soul. I can’t recommend this work enough for any woman longing to reconnect with her authentic voice.

    Sofia Grant

  • Each week felt like being wrapped in beauty. Tatiana’s voice and spirit create an atmosphere of safety and devotion that allows everyone to bloom. I had forgotten how healing it could be to sing with other women. By the final gathering, our voices felt like one great prayer.

Important Note

Due to the depth of this work, there is an interview process for joining the Women’s Ceremonial Choir. No vocal experience is required; however, the ability to be present, attuned to the group field, and to hold space with care if deeper layers arise is important.

I also offer a regular drop-in series as a training pathway into the choir for those who wish to build familiarity with the work first.
