Voice of the Elephant

Voice trajectory from Oct 2026 – May 2027

The elephant has lifted its trunk and is calling the herd. A journey begins.

She invites you and all that you are to join her. On a journey of belonging – to yourself and your intuitive Nature, beyond the judging, fixing and controlling mind. To reclaim you own potential, playfulness and inner ground of trust. We are creative beings and are invited to embrace, embody and express our unique experience called life.

Your authentic, grounded and safe sound of you is invited to find space to connect and express - from the inside out.

We are called to join the herd with our inner child, inner leader, feet, body, sound intuitive navigation system and trust in the journey. The voice is a tool for connection and reclaiming inner freedom of playful flow.

A voice trajectory for creative souls who long to reclaim playfulness as a source of freedom and authentic expression.

How?

In monthly sessions we come together – in a safe-held group of equal creative souls – each on their own unique path and journey – to connect, deepen, move, open, explore and play open freedom and potential. In group exercises, guided journeys, somatic exercises in duo and singing together. We co-create and hold a field of empowering space to explore, and connect the body, mind, voice and imagination from an inner sensing space.

The elephant guides us to embrace a gentle power of ease and flow. Of knowing our nature, and walking in graceful presence, anchored in trust.

Our voice knows the way. The elephant guides us along the way.

Who is Leela?

Leela has created ceremonies, guided journeys, and voice trajectories, as well as individual coaching, for more than 8 years. She taught Voice improvisation (Briesen) for 12 years at the Mime School in Amsterdam. She weaves her love for nature, shamanic practice, voice work, and her background in physical theatre (mime) and voice improvisation (Briesen) into unique, safely held, warm, and deeply transformational work.

Playful, light, and straight to the essence.

The Journey

Starting 4 October, the monthly sessions with in-between holding and check-ins, is a container to help you let your (second) nature become an integrated place in your life.

Each session holds a different theme, yet builds to a whole of opening, and allowing our voice to be a tool for (inner) connection, sensing embodiment, presence, inner space, authentic arriving, and inner guidance and inspiration. The found freedom and playfulness expand and deepens each session. As if it was never gone, we refind our inner ground of home-coming.

Included is an individual session of 1,15hrs (you can plan when you feel you need it during the journey), guidance, coaching and guided journeys. The monthly sessions are in the studio. We end our journey with a retreat in Nature.

The Sessions

Sessions are on Sundays, 10:30–17:00, in Studio Fresh, Amsterdam

Session 1 — Ground · 4 October

Come home to your body as ground. We meet the part of you that learned to shrink, to soften, to stay quiet — and let it finally exhale. Through sensory and physical connection, we rebuild trust in your own voice, ground and weight.

Session 2 — Voice · 1 November

Let your voice be free, not performed. We loosen the grip of permission-seeking and technique, and return to a voice that doesn't need to sound a certain way — it just needs to be allowed.

Session 3 — Play & Flow · 13 December

Trust play over control. Play isn't the opposite of serious work — it's how real co-creation happens. Like the elephant stepping over a fence without disturbing a single wire, playfulness done well is precise, not careless. We practice following impulse instead of managing outcome, and let intuition lead before the mind decides if it's allowed.

Session 4 — Guidance & Mind · 17 January

Return to zero point — the neutral stillness before story, before performance, before resistance. Shamanic drum journeying opens the mind into expanded awareness, imagination and activating the guidance that already knows your next right step.

Session 5 — Closing & Preparing · 14 February

We weave the four movements together and prepare to carry them forward. The two months that follow aren't empty space — they're where the ground you've built gets tested, lived, and trusted, moving into spring.

Session 6 — Weekend in Nature: Integration · May/June (date & location TBC)

Not new material — everything already built, now lived fully. In the body, outdoors, together, the ground, voice, play, and guidance come home into one. Celebrating the new life in singing joy.

What Others Say

“Leela is crystal clear, honest, speaks from the heart. Encouraging and loving in opening up our own true voices. Radiant, shining, glowing soul.” — Pleun

“The workshop was truly a voyage of discovery. Step by step we discovered our voice and what it is capable of, and how obstacles could be released. With great attention to everyone's experience.” — Nicole

“Being able to playfully explore my voice with a group in the environment of non-judgmental nature helped me rediscover the playfulness of sounds. That it doesn't have to be perfect. That there is so much more than 'beautiful' singing. The safe space Leela created allowed me to land deeper within myself by using my voice and daring to allow imperfect creation.” — Phillipp

A heart-centered way of honoring and fully reclaiming our expressive and creative nature.

Our voice is a bridge to connect our mind, body, heart, energy, and nature.

The Shift

This journey moves you:

•    From stuck & limitation to abundance — trusting that resourceful, creative freedom is always available, never something you have to chase or protect

•    From isolated to connected — held by a group of equal-minded creative souls, never navigating this by yourself

•    From performed to authentic — feeling the real difference between the voice you show and the voice that's actually yours

•    From pleasing and seeking confirmation to inner trust and leadership — trusting your own ground instead of searching outside yourself for permission

•    From fear of the unknown to trust in your own intuition — daring to stay in the vulnerable, awkward unknown, and letting intuition navigate you one step at a time

What's Included

•    6 Live Group Sessions, held monthly on Sundays, 10:30–17:00, in Amsterdam

•    5 Studio Sessions + 1 Weekend in Nature — integration

•    1 Private 1:1 Session (75 min), scheduled with you at the point in the journey where it's most needed

•    Guided journeys each session — activating intuitive guidance, connection to vision, and inner support

•    A closed group thread between sessions — check in, stay connected, and receive occasional prompts and guided journeys from me

•    If you can't make a group session, it's compensated with a 1:1 session (75 min)

•    A safely held group of like-minded creative souls, walking this ground together

•    Your unique journey woven together with the group's — individual and collective at once

Each session – bring/ wear comfortable clothes you can move in, your own lunch, and something to share (nuts/ fruit/ chocolate).
