Breath is the origin of the voice. The voice is breath made audible.
They carry breath, emotion, memory, culture, the places we come from, and the many ways we have learned to express—or sometimes silence—ourselves.
When Breath Becomes Voiceis a full-day experiential journey with Soema Montenegro and Fiorella Garibaldi, exploring the voice not as something we need to perfect, but as something we can learn to listen to, inhabit and experience through the body.
You don't need to know how to sing. You don't need to have a "good voice." And you don't need any previous experience with voice work or breathwork.
This day may be for you if you are curious about your voice beyond singing.
If you have ever felt that you hold back your expression.
If you want to feel more comfortable being heard, taking up space or allowing sound to move through you.
If you are curious about the relationship between your breath, body and voice.
If you want to explore what your voice may carry from your personal, cultural or ancestral history.
Or simply if something inside you feels curious when you imagine spending a whole day listening to, exploring and playing with your own voice.
No previous experience with voice work, breathwork, movement or cacao is required.
About Soema Montenegro
About Fiorella Garibaldi
Soema Montenegrois an Argentine singer-songwriter, voice researcher and facilitator based in Buenos Aires whose work explores the voice as a territory of body, memory, identity and ancestral knowledge.
For more than two decades, she has developed a unique approach to voice that brings together music, conscious movement, sound exploration and practices inspired by Feldenkrais and Eutonia, alongside her deep relationship with the living musical and cultural traditions of South America.
Her work invites us to move beyond the idea of the voice as something to perform or perfect, and instead experience it as something we can inhabit, listen to and discover.
Deeply inspired by nature and the ancestral cultures of Latin America, Soema explores the relationship between voice, territory and lineage, weaving traditional and community songs—including Quechua, Aymara, Qom and Guaraní traditions—into her work.
Alongside her work as a facilitator, Soema is an internationally recognized recording and performing artist. Her music blends the sounds and landscapes of South America with original poetry and experimental composition, and has brought her to stages and audiences around the world.
Fiorella Garibaldiis a breathwork and embodiment facilitator, space holder and retreat guide whose work invites people to slow down, listen inward and reconnect with the wisdom of the body.
Originally from Peru and now based in Sweden, she weaves together conscious breath, movement, meditation, cacao and somatic practices to create spaces for self-exploration, expression and deeper connection.
At the heart of her work is a simple curiosity:
what becomes possible when we create enough space to actually hear ourselves?
Rather than looking outside of ourselves for answers, her work invites us to meet what is already present within the body—to breathe with it, move with it, feel it, and allow new ways of relating to ourselves and to life to emerge.
For When Breath Becomes Voice, Fiorella will guide the embodiment, cacao and breathwork elements of the journey, while also holding the space and translating Soema's teachings from Spanish into English.

I feel deeply honored to collaborate with someone I admire so much.
Soema has been one of my mentors, and her work has had a profound impact on my life and on the way I relate to my own voice and sound.
There is something very special for me about now bringing our work together—her exploration of voice and sound meeting my own work with breath, body and embodiment—and creating a space where others can experience this connection for themselves.
I will also be translating when needed and holding the space throughout our day together.
