Moments like this are meant to be shared and remembered. On 16/6/2022 we were appointed by PuraVida Festival (Kaya, Yoi, Julia, Walker and myself Marlia) to hold a cacao ceremony circle (one of the biggest ones of approx. 400 people) with sacred songs as part of the opening/welcoming first night of the festival.
This is what came through after opening the 4 cardinal directions, calling in Mother Earth, Father Sky, Spirits of this Land, Guardians, Masters and Spirit of Cacao.

Please note this is recorded with my small Zoom recorder/camera just for reference, which very conveniently Yoi shifted its direction upon her jumping up to dance with the rest of the circle. And therefore you can see what's going on on the other side
An impromptu co-creation during my Marlia project performance at HUG handpan gathering & music festival in Hungary 2022 with special guests:

A rearrangement of a Greek song from the island of Leros Αμυγδαλάκι, in a way that has never been done before.
The beauty of this song and its lyrics is incomparable, legendary and eternal. A free translation of the lyrics in English:
My love,
May you become the ocean
And so shall i become the shore
So you can flow into my sweet embrace
Wave after wave after wave
I cracked the shell of an almond
And found In the centre of its pit
The drawing of your image
Drop after drop
Even marble can be carved by the power of water
And with the power of our love
Everything can be healed
There is great sorrow in hating someone
And great giddiness to say goodbye
In all occasions however
The biggest happiness comes
With welcoming you into my life
I cracked the shell of an almond
And found In the centre of its pit
The drawing of your image
And with all these cracking of almonds
You exist in my field
My greetings are with you

Free your voice workshop called "RISING VOICE"
coordinated by Marlia
at Maxja Holistic festival 2018, Sardinia Italy
We come together, standing in a circle.
We just start to sing and tune in.
Before you know it, you enter a different space inside yourself, feeling free and open to share your voice and feel your heart.
This is a group music game, where we use the voice as our instrument. Participants work with voice experimentation and sound production, improvisation and expression through spontaneous interaction.
Within a friendly environment we will have the opportunity to discover the full potential of our voice and reconnect with the music nature that exists within us all, right from the moment we are born.
We use the vibrations of our voice's sounds for relaxation, release and self-improvement in our personal journey.
When using correct breathing, we achieve stability, better focus and greater awareness.
Conscious breathing causes an emotionally calming effect. It is one of the most effective methods for reducing tension and hyperactivity of the brain.
No previous experience is required

This cover song "Directions" originally written by Nahko and Medicine for the People was performed live by Marlia project in May 2019 at the Collective Movement festival, Cyprus.
Collective Movement is a three-day mind, body, spirit and entertainment event. Our love for nature and life brings us to our 3rd event. During this weekend you will be given the chance to meet the team at Collective Movement. Through our events we aim to develop our connection to nature and therefore have always opted for beautiful outdoor locations. This year we are hosting our event, on 17-19 May 2019, at Tris-Elies, an eco-village in the mountains of Cyprus. We will work with the locals to revive the community while respectfully using their beautiful outdoor spaces to hold the activities, lessons and workshops.
