Private Sessions
For the past 20 years, I have delved into the art of Deep Listening. When I listen with total receptivity and presence to the words, gestures, challenges, projects, creations, doubts, or desires of others, a natural array of stimuli and information arises within me: pathways to follow, inspiring images, practical solutions, necessary knowledge, new questions, color palettes, techniques, quotes, sounds, and always the joy of witnessing someone open up, nourish themselves, and dare to bloom.
Sound Work Mentorship
Online and in-person in Lisbon
This is a comprehensive, individual, long-term support program for sound workers, whether beginners or experienced. It begins with a deep exploration of the intentions and the theoretical, cultural, and/or spiritual foundations that will guide or redirect their sound work.
For Beginners: We explore different types of instruments and mediums for creating soundscapes, always alongside musical techniques, aimed at developing a unique sound identity.
For Experienced Sound Workers: We assess current knowledge, creations, and sound offerings (concerts, individual sessions, recordings, sound baths, etc.), as well as professionalism in promoting their work. Medium and long-term goals are established regarding areas to focus on.
Once the sound worker feels they have an original, high-quality, and professional sound offering, we work on their commercial image and the promotion of their work.
Soundtherapy Session
In my therapy space in Lisbon
A sound therapy session in my private studio in Lisbon. The session begins with talking therapy over shared tea. Then, 45 minutes of sound is offered without touching the body, aiming to achieve a deep state of relaxation and an expansion of bodily awareness, allowing for the free expression of what the sounds provoke and evoke. The session culminates with another tea to integrate the experience, if the client deems it necessary, or simply in a shared silence.
Arts / Creativity Private Sessions
My Meditation teacher, Prashantam, gave me the name Mallika, which means “Gardener”, and certainly there’s nothing that makes me happier than nurturing the seed of art and creativity to flourish within a person!
The ability to express ourselves artistically through words, sounds, movements, colors, shapes and so many other mediums is present in every one of us.
From my experience, I can say that there are no people who are “off limits” to dance, or music, or any other art. You just have to give yourself permission for this innate impulse to flourish and shake off millennia of taboos and family and social conditioning about what art is or who is an artist.
In Italy, I facilitated a music session for young quadriplegics, some of whom could only move a finger or their eyes, and the musicality they showed me was a great lesson for me.
Here are some arts and topics that we can explore together:
* Spontaneous Poetry
* Creating a picture book
* Piano Creativity lessons
* Sound Work lessons
* Drumming and Dancing
* Theatre Improvisation / Clown / Neutral Mask work
* Creating your own clothes
* Body Painting
* Creative problem solving for Entrepreneurs
