At Gate 7, Malika will be guiding the women of DFM through a 75- minute sonic-shamanic exploration of the wild voice.

You'll begin with an invocation to the serpent of your tongue; a practice of inquiry into the caverns of your mouth – every indent and crease.

With the sacred waters activated, you'll journey deeper into the creative fire of your heart through ancient chants and drumming.

With the mouth open and the heart ignited, you'll enter the gateway of the womb and sing to the Dark Mother.

'Singing the Dark Mother' is a workshop reminding you of the holiness of your song, your voice, your heart and womb.

By liberating your voice and offering it up as prayer, you'll enter a trance state where you'll meet your dark-feminine-worshipping ancestors and open your body to the wild pulse of raw song, which flows through every woman, through all time.
