My Voice is a Prayer: A Call to Devotion with Reya Manna
What if your voice was a living prayer, and the Earth herself was listening?
Holy, holy. This conversation is one of my all-time favorites. I'm joined by my dear sister Reya Manna, an Earth Song Guide, healer, and founder of the SongKeeper School, whose life is devoted to restoring our sacred relationship with the land and the Divine.
From our very first meeting, it felt like an ancient remembering: two women who had walked the same Topanga trails, shared the same love for Jesus beyond dogma, and answered the same call to leave Los Angeles when spirit whispered, it's time.
Together, we explore what it really means to wake down into the body, commune with nature as a living teacher, and live as instruments of the holy. Reya shares how listening to the Earth led her to create the SongKeeper School, how this summer's eclipse portal became a profound feminine initiation, and why devotion, song, and ceremony are medicine for these times.
You'll hear about:
Following the soul's call even when it makes no sense
Learning to wake down: embodying divinity through the human form
The voice as sacred medicine and prayer
Healing through song, Earth-honoring, and feminine initiation
Living devotion in everyday life
We also talk about her brand-new seven-week offering, The Journey of the Song Keeper, now open for enrollment: a live, experiential program through The Shift Network that helps you reconnect with your voice as a sacred conduit of the Divine and sing Heaven onto Earth. You can learn more and join through the link above and here.
We close with Reya’s unreleased song, “My Body Is a Church,” a transmission that will stay with you long after the final note.
