Who We Are
"His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely."
— Song of Songs 5:16
Ishq Experience is an umbrella of sacred offerings — Vocalib vocal liberation workshops, sound healing sessions, retreats, chanting circles, healing gatherings, and concerts. We exist at the crossing of art, spirituality, and community.
Our work is rooted in the oldest human technology: voice, sound, and breath gathered together in love.

Community
Sacred work needs sacred support. Your contribution keeps our circles open, our retreats accessible, and our community alive.
Notre Histoire
Ishq Experience was born from a simple and ancient truth: that the human voice, when freed and gathered in community, becomes one of the most powerful forces of healing on earth.
We are an umbrella of offerings — Vocalib vocal liberation workshops, sound healing journeys, sacred chanting circles, healing gatherings, and retreats in nature. Our work lives at the crossing of art, spirituality, and community.
"His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely." — Song of Songs 5:16
The word Ishq (إِشْق) comes from the Sufi tradition and means profound, unconditional love — the kind that dissolves separation and returns us to our essence. It is not sentiment; it is a force.
Our gatherings are held in Montréal and beyond. We create containers for people who are ready to be moved — by sound, by breath, by the simple act of showing up in a circle with other human beings.
Explore Our ExperiencesWhat We Stand For
01
Every person carries within them a voice that is uniquely theirs — and uniquely healing. We create the space for that voice to emerge, unguarded and whole.
02
Transformation happens in relationship. Our gatherings are intentional containers where people meet each other — and themselves — in depth.
03
We don't teach about the sacred — we practice it together. Sound, movement, silence, and presence are not concepts here. They are the experience itself.

Group Workshop
Before technique comes listening. Before singing comes presence.
Vocal work begins with understanding the vocal mechanism — releasing tension and returning to the natural openness of sound. We explore breath, resonance, body awareness, and vowels as gateways to the deeper voice.
Working with the voice is not simply about "singing well." It is an inner journey.
At Ishq, vocal work is also held within a live musical field. Seif's immersive music — saxophone, guitar, and soundscape — creates a living container that makes it easier to let go, to feel held, and to release what the voice has been carrying.
Through this process, the voice becomes alive again — fluid, embodied, and deeply authentic.
Vocal Liberation is for anyone who wishes to feel more grounded, aligned, and free in their expression. It is for those who want to understand what is happening in their body, breath, and emotions — and allow the voice to reflect their deeper self.
Singers, musicians, actors, storytellers, therapists, teachers — and anyone on a path of self-awareness and inner exploration.
The voice awakens and reconnects to your rhythm, your energy, your essence.
Vocal Liberation sessions are most often practiced in group settings. The voice is vibration. When a group breathes, sounds, and resonates together, a shared field emerges. Voices harmonize, support, and respond to one another. This collective resonance has a deeply liberating and healing effect.
In the circle, no one is above or below anyone else. We move together, on the same frequency.

Multi-Day Immersion
Weekends outside of time — in nature, with practices of mindfulness, movement, and deep connection.
Our retreats are invitations to step outside the noise of daily life and return to something deeper. In a natural setting, away from screens and schedules, we create a space where rest, inquiry, and transformation can unfold at their own rhythm.
Each retreat is built around a theme — a question, a practice, or a dimension of inner life that the group explores together. Live music by Seif weaves through the experience, creating a sonic container that supports whatever wants to emerge.
Anyone who feels called to slow down, go inward, and reconnect — to themselves, to others, to something larger. No prior experience with meditation or wellness practices is required. Only an open heart and a willingness to show up.
Community Event
Evenings built around a theme — a shared meal, a ritual, a creative exploration. Always warm, always real.
An Ishq Gathering is an evening designed around human connection. Each one has a theme — sometimes a shared meal where everyone brings a dish from their culture, sometimes a creative ritual, a storytelling circle, or a collective exploration of a meaningful question.
Gatherings are the heartbeat of the Ishq community — the place where friendships form, where cultures meet, and where the ordinary becomes something to remember. Live music is often woven through the evening, holding the space with warmth and depth.
Anyone looking for meaningful connection beyond the surface. Whether you come alone or with a friend, you will be welcomed. Gatherings are open to everyone — all backgrounds, all ages, all paths.
Intimate Concert
Immersive music in intimate spaces — where the vibration of instruments becomes a shared inner journey.
A Cozy Concert is not a performance you attend — it is an experience you enter. In an intimate setting, with a small gathering of people, Seif creates a live soundscape that moves through the room: saxophone, guitar, voice, and ambient layers weaving a sonic space that holds everyone present.
The intimacy of the format is intentional. With fewer than 30 people in the room, there is no distance between the music and the listener. The vibration is direct, the connection is real, and something often shifts in the body before the mind understands why.
For lovers of music who want more than a concert — who want to feel something. For those who know that sound is medicine, and that an evening of real music can change the quality of everything that follows.
