Meet your facilitators
Sara Joy Guilbeau
Sara Joy has been a weaver of lyric and song since childhood. Classically trained in opera and piano, her journey eventually led her to rediscover music as a vehicle for true healing, using vocalization, sacred sound, and vibration as medicine.
She now writes songs from the depths of her being – weaving threads of mantra, devotional harmonies, and medicine music. In addition to sound, she expresses her artistry through traditional fiber arts like felting, spinning, knitting, and weaving, allowing songs to emerge in shared creative circles.
She is also a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a Colon Hydrotherapist, and a Hatha Yoga teacher. Learn more about her offerings & stay connected via Instagram!
Maggie Taurick
Maggie is a yogini, designer, and carrier of sacred sound. For over 15 years, she has explored the interplay between music, meditation, and embodied practice as tools for awakening authentic self-expression. This exploration led her to the unique combination of sound & cacao, which she became immersed in during her time in Guatemala. With the help of these tools, she guides participants to recognize the infinite wisdom and creativity within them; bringing more intention, freedom, and awareness to their daily lives.
She is the co-founder of Awakened Heart Music – a platform dedicated to sharing devotional music, sacred sound & song empowerment for community healing & evolution.

“When I sing, I have the ability to tap into the power of the mountains and the container you all held for us. I felt like I finally gave myself permission to sing from my heart knowing it is our birth right to do so!”
“I’ve been playing music for decades and I play a whole bunch of different instruments, but there’s always been this blockage around…the craft of songwriting my own songs…I think that this retreat was actually really significant in terms of me decoding this blockage. ”
“My experience at Song of the Earth was very expansive and heart-opening. The song-exercises and medicine ceremony felt safe, supported, and full of love. My voice feels more open and confident than when I came into the retreat.”
