Awakening the Voice with Sonia Kreitzer and the Healing Power of Sound
Manage episode 521362556 series 3350546
This week on The UpLevel Podcast, join us for a deeply human conversation as we sit down with Sonia Kreitzer, singer, songwriter, sound healer, and the creative force behind Doe Paoro. With over 40 million global streams, tours with artists like the Gypsy Kings and KT Tunstall, and music featured across film, TV, and international radio, Sonia brings artistry and profound devotion to healing, earth connection, and the reclamation of the human voice.
Sonia’s work is rooted in decades of study with indigenous music and medicine carriers from the Shipibo-Conibo of Peru to the Noke Koi of Brazil to her training in Tibetan opera. She teaches that music is a technology of harmony and that sound is one of our most powerful tools for repair, reconnection, and awakening consciousness.
This episode offers an intimate look at how our voices, individually and collectively, can support us through a time of collapse, leadership transition, cultural change, and spiritual reorientation.
In This Episode:
- Why Sonia teaches that your truest voice begins in the body, not the mind
- How empowered environments transform teams, communities, and the stories we tell about ourselves
- Exploring the grief, gratitude, and potency of remembering where we come from
- A journey into sensing, feeling, and expressing from the truth beneath imitation
- Creating spaces where every voice is honored and where leadership becomes a shared practice
- How understanding ancestry dissolves generational silence and awakens authentic expression
- Simple practices, like humming and singing, that ground the body, open the heart, and reawaken vitality
- Using music to grieve what’s ending while birthing what’s possible in challenging times
- Finding aliveness in the dance between endings, renewals, and the spaces in between
- How “sonic acupuncture” dissolves emotional blockages and sparks transformation
- Grounding techniques that build resilience, presence, and community strength
