Songs to Sing with the Sea: 1 – 28 February
Whether you already love to sing – or singing feels scary and embarrassing – I invite you to join me from 1-28 February. To listen, learn and share songs from the sea.
Over this 28 days, I will bring you some of the most impactful healing songs and devotional mantras gifted to me by the Cornish sea over the past two years.
I will also offer you gentle ritual practices and intuitive prompts to explore these songs as oracle and medicine for this particular moment in your life.
Songs to Sing with the Sea is a digital offering, delivered to you with care by emailed love letter, video and sound recordings.
IMPORTANT: You do not have to be a “good” singer to join us. You can choose not to sing at all – listening and receiving is also most welcome.
Songs to Sing with the Sea is not song as performance, perfectionism or corporate chart-topper.
This is song as medicine. Song to receive, to sing and embody.
This is song as wholeness, as hope and resonance, as honest loving connection to oneself and the natural world. Song as creative ritual, as sacred offering, as vibrational healing and deep emotion processing.
It is a space for trusting your voice. And for being heard. Heard by your body. By your heart. By the sea. By spirit. By yourself.
It is courageous. For it is vulnerable.
Songs to Sing with the Sea is sound as healing water. It is the dance of life sounding through your body.
As we sing – alone or together, with and to the sea – we contribute to a wider energetic shift. We become more present and alive. We listen differently. We build our resilience. And our capacity to take action.
So what will we actually do?
In Songs to Sing with the Sea, I will share five original songs with you. Simple short mantras, group songs, and longer pieces that allow you to go deeper.
You’re invited to spend a few minutes with one song every day, in whatever way feels good to you.
This might mean listening deeply, receiving these songs as you visualise the sea. It might mean singing them aloud.
You might take these songs to nearby water, sing them in the shower, or offer them to your home altar. You might call on them in a moment of challenge.
I’ll also share simple rituals, prompts and practices to go deeper if you wish – meditation, journaling, movement and creative practices.
Do I have to sing?
No. A daily practice of deep listening and receiving song – gifting yourself time with the sea – can also be very powerful. My personal experience is that the medicine of these songs is at its most healing when we sing them (regardless of the perceived ‘quality’ of any sound we make!). But there are many ways to heal. The power lies with you.
When do we start?
We start on 1st February 2026. This date marks the start of Imbolc on the Celtic Wheel of The Year. Imbolc is the perfect time to softly seed a new relationship with your voice, song and the sea.
Traditionally, this is a season of tiny new beginnings, fertility and rebirth. Much of the change is unwitnessed. But the seeds are stirring, hope is forming, and light begins to return.
What will I receive when?
On 1st February:
You receive a love letter by email on 1 February to introduce the month ahead. This includes:
- An Imbolc song and simple ocean ritual to welcome in the energy of approaching spring.
- An ocean meditation to awaken your voice, and connect you to your own song beside the sea
- A recording of sea sounds (to sound and sing with, or simply listen)
- My Ocean Altar PDF. A guide to setting up an ocean altar at home – if you’d like to create a focused spot for your song practice.
Every week:
At the start of each week, you’ll receive a new love letter by email that includes:
- an MP3 recording of this week’s song
- the story of the song
- optional additional practices including a simple ritual and journal prompts
- glorious glimpses and sounds of the Cornish sea…
Let each song to be your personal oracle for that week. As the additional practices support you to find your own meaning and resonance.
On completion:
At the end of our time together, you’ll receive a final selection of sea song goodies:
- our Communal Sea Song (see below)
- the EP: Songs to Sing with the Sea: Part One
- Songs to Sing with the Sea: Part One PDF (including all lyrics)
- guidance on using the EP as a standalone sound practice
The sea choir (the big brave experimental bit!)
While there are no ‘live’ elements of this offering, we are going to attempt to create a communal sea song, blessing, or prayer together!
If you would like to join in – and it’s absolutely not compulsory – I’ll invite you to record yourself speaking or singing one line of a particular song as a voice note or Whatsapp message. I will then do some magic (as yet untested!) and combine our voices together to form a virtual sea choir…
At the end of the month, I will play our shared sea blessing to the sea, offering thanks. And send you this collective ocean sound track to empower your prayers and intentions as you move forward.
Energetic support and sea connection
You will be held energetically throughout our time together in February, supported by the sea and me. I’ll also be available by email for any questions or thoughts you’d like to share as you go along.
At the start of each week, I will take our featured song to the sea here in Penzance, and sing to you across the waters. I will call on the sea’s support, asking that these songs touch and guide you in whatever way is needed. I will send some distance reiki to support the group’s voice.

What songs will we learn?
We are going to learn five original mantras or songs that have been gifted to me by the sea. These are the songs that we will share and learn in this offering:
- By The Sea
- Take This Prayer To The Sea
- Break Like the Waves Do
- We Are The Waves
- Imbolc Sea
We will move simply and gently, slowly building our capacity to listen, and to find our voice. You are free to move at your own pace throughout. Our journey will be spacious, allowing time for each song to arrive within your body and heart.
In this first month’s offering, we will explore these themes:
- Song as healing
- Song as offering or prayer
- Song to open the heart
- Song to empower
- Song as community connection
- Song as storytelling and intuitive prompt
What will I leave with?
At the end of the month, you’ll have learnt five new beautiful sea songs. You’ll have a full EP, that together creates a wave of sea sound healing – a 20 minute song practice to return to whenever you want.
You’ll be gently building a new relationship with your voice. And you’ll find yourself coming into conversation with the sea more often – with the waters within you, and with your own intuition. You’ll carry song offerings to share with nature wherever you go.
You’ll have sound tools to soothe your nervous system, to build your resilience, and connect you more deeply to yourself and to the world around you.
Just when we need that most.
How much time do I need?
That’s entirely up to you. You could spend less than an hour a week on this practice. Reading that week’s love letter, spending 5 minutes when you can listening to the song as a meditative practice or a healing. And completing the week with 15 minutes of reflection.
But if a sea song resonates – if it’s the ocean oracle or healing that you need – you might find yourself letting that song and the ocean weave their magic through your cells more often.
Listening at home, at your altar, in the bath, in the car. Singing yourself through a challenging emotion or situation. And taking yourself off to sing to a water source near you, knowing that this too will travel to the sea.
You might start to explore harmonies and rearrangements. You might go deeper with each week’s ritual and prompts. Let the sea guide you to the medicine you need.
Is this offering for me if I’m anxious about singing?
Yes, absolutely. You don’t need to sing at all if you don’t want to. You will still benefit from listening and receiving these songs, from the creative prompts and rituals, and by using each week’s song as guidance and teaching from the sea.
Clearly, I am very excited about the healing power of singing AND I also found it really difficult to sing myself, (especially in a public place!) just a couple of years ago. So I totally get that.
My gentle invitation would be to take yourself a tiny step closer to your ‘edge’ here, but not to the point where this overwhelms you (or prevents you from receiving the gifts of this offering). The very fact that I am here, offering you Songs to Sing with the Sea, is testament to the power of stepping into these edges.
It might be that your brave step this time is to speak or sing the words of one song aloud to yourself; or to record your voice and listen to it with compassion. And that’s enough.
Why sing songs with the sea and me?
This offering is more of a calling than a comfort zone for me…
However, if you’ve been journeying with me for a while, you’ll know that I choose to listen deeply to where I am called.
And I tend to be called to gently step into the edges of what I think is possible.
I trust the sea. I try to trust myself. I’m not afraid to fail.
…Well, that’s not strictly true – I am afraid, but I also trust that failing will also be a gift.
And having recently discovered that songs can be gifted and heal like water, I find myself here. Called to share that healing gift with you…
Songs as water
Over time, I have learnt that these songs also move like water. As spirit moves through me. They come through the sea, and are called to flow through the recipient and onwards. Holding or transforming as they go.
These songs are not to be contained or held within, however fearful or embarrassed or inadequate I may feel about singing them in public. They are songs that wash away that unhelpful inner chatter as they pull me directly into the present. They are medicine.
As if by magic, they bring me what I need in that moment – or what I will need in the future. When I share them with others, they are received as healing. They are songs are to be shared and sung, given and received with love. Who am I to judge why and how I have received them?
And so, after much inner debate, I have finally accepted that these songs are coming to me because I’m not a professional singer. Because I’m open, and deeply feeling, and guided by love and the sea.
I’m not constricted by rules about what makes a “good” song or a “good” voice. And I’m compassionate enough that my inner child can let a song through without critically stifling it before it arrives.
I offer these songs to you because I have been asked to. Because they have been gifted to me. Because my voice and I are enough. And because these songs are medicine.
You too are enough. And your voice is healing medicine.
The story of how and when these songs arrived…
Let’s jump back to 2018. I was an over-stretched mum, mostly working in the film industry as a script editor and mentor, coaching, and running creative retreats for other mothers.
I started sea swimming.
Each morning, I would emerge from the water with a new gift: a deeper faith, a sense of my own courage, the experience of allowing myself to be held…
Returning home, I would capture those gifts or blessings in words.
When the idea of creating a set of sea blessings cards from these also arrived on the tide, I had no knowledge of how to create oracle cards. And no thought whatsoever of being an oracle card creator.
But before long, I found myself stepping into a whole new way of being, guided by the sea. This process became the much-loved Sea Soul Journeys Oracle Cards.
So there I was in 2024, with a beautiful oracle deck sold all around the world. My childhood dream of publishing an interactive book (the Sea Soul Journal) also fulfilled. Running a business built around my love for the sea and the blessings it offers. None of which I would have found if I hadn’t listened, and trusted something unexpected and new.
What does this have to do with singing?
Well… over the past two years, the sea has started to offer me gifts of song, much as they offered me blessings.
I hear the songs. I receive them as healing. I capture them as little voice notes. I write them down. I take them to my altar. I sing them to the sea.
Sometimes I’ll receive a couple of songs fully-formed in a day, racing through me like a river after the rain.
Sometimes the songs take a week or more to find their shape. To build from a tiny spring into a bubbling stream.
Sometimes I return to a song months later, when I am gifted some extra tributary. One that guides me in another direction, and brings me – or someone else – the medicine that is needed in that moment.
I have a folder full of songs from the sea, from the moon, from the land, from grief, from joy. Yet, up until relatively recently, I didn’t think of myself as a singer at all. Nor did I think I had a voice anyone else would ever want to hear.
The songs didn’t seem to care. They just kept arriving and calling to be shared. And every time I asked the sea and my guides for insight into what to offer the world in these times – as support, in service to love and the change that we need – the only answer I would receive would be… another song.
I would laugh. And keep asking – because apparently, that wasn’t an answer I was ready for.
But this calling was persistent!
My voice shaking, shame racing through my body like a hot flush, I sang the songs in community at our beautiful local Heart Song Sangha and Songs for Peace gatherings here in Penwith. Very slowly, it became a little easier. I felt my voice and confidence grow.
I had voice activation sessions with my talented friends and singers, Lyndz LiquidLight and Grace LightLooper. I sang with the whales and Michaela Harrison as part of her wonderful Whale Whispering cohort.
I sang in ceremonies, shamanic healings, and a magical drum-making workshop with Dorrie Joy. I started to share tentative recordings as part of my Ocean Altar offerings. And I was persuaded by another amazing friend and singer, Gabrielle Green, into a recording studio to record this one as a fundraiser.
But most of all, I sang these songs with the sea, from the sea, to the sea, every single morning.
Finally, I was ready to step into this call, vulnerable but willing.
And so last week, I found myself back in the recording studio with Gabby, finding the courage to record some of these simple offerings for you.
And now, here I am, as you read this, preparing to share them as a month of sea medicine song magic.
I hope that these singing practices will touch your soul as they have touched mine. I hope they will help you to find your own voice without judgement or “rules”.
As they leave my heart and my open hands, I trust that they will travel on, rippling out the ocean’s magic wherever it is needed.
Come sing with me and the sea.
