Retreat

In the modern era we are increasingly taught how to overcome an unexpected situation, whether pleasant or unpleasant, through the use of the mind and intellect. However, we must not forget that the intellect, our brain, is a tool at our service and not vice versa. This essentially means two things: our essence, our soul, and our thinking are two separate things. And more importantly, we did not come into the world to be slaves of our thoughts, but to experience on the skin something that thought can neither generate nor manage: emotions.

If you have already investigated this topic you will surely have found the most popular idea: “We cannot choose our emotions, but we can decide how to deal with them“, or its direct antagonist “You can control your emotions with meditation“. Both of these solutions involve the use of the mind, of thought, to interact with emotions. In the first case you try to impose a plan of action and fight against emotions, in the second case you simply impose yourself not to focus on emotions. Both these solutions involve ignoring emotions, creating in the first case personality disorders, in the second case “Zombies”. Clearly there is another way to deal with this problem: The Way of the Voice.

Today sees the release of an interview of mine that deals with a subject that is very close to my heart, that is what is defined as “personal brand” in today’s jargon. It is titled “Mylena vocal coach, personal brand to be expressed out loud“. In fact, my work has been intimately linked to the idea of “personal brand” for more than 20 years, and it is no coincidence that all my vocal coaching workshops are titled “Identity and Voice”. Even the most prestigious universities have recognized me as the pioneer and leading exponent, capable of connecting the world of voice to the world of business.

Marrakech has always been one of the most fascinating cities in North Africa, where two faces coexist, apparently irreconcilable: the tradition that sinks its customs and traditions in ancient times and a more western lifestyle that is found in many boutiques, restaurants and a certain worldliness that you can breathe in many districts of the City.

Everything is discreet, hidden in the riads protected by the high walls of the Medina. A great Berber metropolis, Marrakech has had the honour of being an imperial city, as well as Fès, Rabat and Meknès, and its great past is testified by the sumptuous buildings that contribute to making it the Moroccan tourist capital.

Every day we meet new people. Many times we don’t even care about them, we just ignore them. Other times, a connection is made, a magical one, which leads to deepening the relationship. Those who follow me know perfectly well that “chance doesn’t exist”, so it is always good to be aligned with your Inborn Voice to make something magical happen.

A long time ago, one of these people, a client and a friend, invited me to spend some summer time in her house in Italy’s Costa Smeralda, the most beautiful and magical place of the Mediterranean see. I usually prefer to keep my privacy and I rarely accept such proposals. But that time my Inborn Voice took me to Costa Smeralda, to one of the places where all the myth of those places was born: in Porto Rafael, the Aga Khan eritage.

In the 2018/2019 season, I took Inborn Voice workshops focused on finding one’s vocal identity around the world. From the super exclusive location in Manhattan, New York City, with a spectacular view of the NewYork skyscrapers, to the City of London. Both cities are always keen on the latest trends and taking every opportunity to gain a competitive advantage. From the city of Paris to Marrakech, cities endowed with great charm and romanticism, I wanted and was able to bring my work to 3 different continents.

Of course I couldn’t miss a workshop in Milan, the city where my adventure in the world of voice and Vocal Coaching began.
