WOMEN’S TRUE VOICE AND SOUL EMBODIMENT

Aea Luz: Voice Activation

Aea Luz is a world soul folk singer songwriter, healer, mentor, medicine woman and guide who entered her deep love affair with the power of sound at the tender age of 9. She sings for personal and collective transformation, spreading love through her music and honoring all that is sacred in life. Her soulful original songs, melodic guitar and angelic voice are potent medicine that inspire the heart to open wider. 

Through a series of life threatening injuries, illnesses and profound spiritual challenges beginning in her teens, Aea sought out and studied with spiritual teachers and master healers from many different traditions. Ranging from apprenticing with South American Shamans, to practicing Vajrayana Tibetan Buddhism, and finally discovering the nectar of true freedom in loving, eternal consciousness through Advaitavedanta style self inquiry under the guidance of her beloved teacher, Gangaji.

Aea is devoted to an ever deepening study of, and service to the dismantling of suffering, and what she names “The Living Miracle” available to all. 

Aea has cleared and healed multiple auto immune illnesses, as well as stumped doctors who said “She would never dance or hike again”. 

Aea is a strong believer in the rehabilitation of illness of all kinds, using herbs, meditation, yoga, soul song and healthy diet. She has a passion for supporting people to detoxify and restore the true integrity and clarity of their bodies, minds and spirits through cleansing, and engaging in a practice of deep self inquiry.

Aea has been leading healing ceremonial retreats for the last 15 years and offers powerful one on one healing sessions in person, over zoom and in various group containers. In all of her offerings, she invites a safe space where healing and freedom are the core intent, and the liberating nature of God’s unending love is invoked in song and sound for purification and illumination.

She encourages us to commune with our voices and life through frequency and vibration, as a means of connecting with our true selves and the Divine.

I was on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds in my early 20s when my path led me to live in an Ashram with intensive yoga & meditation for 12 hours a day. It was revolutionary -  I found my energy, my joy, I didn’t need medication!

Despite my dedication to practicing and teaching yoga for the next 7 years, I continued in cycles of workaholism, burnout, and depression  - still trying to achieve some external standard of success.

This led me to work with plant medicine 10 years ago and a deeper healing began on the soul level. I was no longer running from my depression. I learned to accept and integrate all parts of myself and my gifts began to activate.

This healing path led me to study Shamanism, women’s spirituality, and energy body work. It led me to found a company of plant-based products for women’s cycles. And it inspired me to facilitate women’s workshops,  women’s ceremonies, and women’s coaching for 5 years.  

Yoga was the doorway into healing for me. Practicing and teaching yoga has been a cornerstone of my life for the past 15 years.  Over this time, I have integrated my intensive ashtanga training with fluid movements that support the female body  - weaving a unique practice that opens the channels, cultivates energy, and creates a loving relationship with our bodies.  It is an honor to share these practices with you.

I offer myself as a soul voice embodiment guide, sacred vocalist, songstress and cacao ceremonialist devoted to awakening transformative Love in service to personal and collective healing.

I came to this path through my personal journey. In my early 20’s, I hit rock bottom due to crippling, self-destructive shame, self-hatred and self-criticism. Even though I had been singing most of my life – with years of voice lessons and theatre training – at that point, my voice had seemed to disappear. I did not sing anymore.

In 2013, due to a big initiation of pain and suffering, I entered a 12-step group wherein I finally began to reconnect to my voice. Soon after, I was led to study yoga, kirtan, traditional wisdom ways, and plant medicines, which have offered powerful healings for my voice and my soul.

For the last 8 years I have devoted my life to offering sacred mantra, song, and embodiment practices around the world in ceremonies, kirtans, song gatherings and festivals, in addition to offering 1:1 voice sessions and mentorships.

As a vocal embodiment guide, I support women to empower their authentic, intuitive soul voice as a sacred, healing instrument. I’m here to support you to confidently embody your unique sound, re-weave your Wholeness and reclaim your Divine Creative Power.

I believe that, at its core, the path of reclaiming and fully embodying your soul voice is a path of reclaiming and fully embodying your soul-self. It is a journey of self-empowerment and multi-dimensional healing for yourself and all beings. I believe that each one of us is a sacred instrument whose sound is needed as part of the Great Symphony of All Creation.
