Pierre Naïm Fievet, coordinator of the “Sound and Healing” event
Sound Therapist – Singer – Multi-instrumentalist – Vocal Coach
A sound therapist and sound yoga teacher since 2015, Pierre-Naïm has been immersed in music and a sense of the sacred from a very young age. A self-taught singer, he completed a comprehensive training program in classical guitar, music theory, and the spoken word at the conservatory. After earning a BTS in audiovisual studies with a concentration in sound, he obtained a master’s degree in sound engineering from SATIS. In 2009, he discovered Natha Yoga and later Qi Gong. From 2011 to 2021, he joined an organic grocery store, eventually becoming the assistant manager, where he developed a foundation in healthy eating, herbal medicine, management, and business administration. At the same time, through numerous walks, he developed an intimate connection with nature, historical sites, and regional energy centers (Celtic-Ligurian ruins, Saints of Provence, etc.), as well as experience with heightened consciousness, overtone singing, and channeled chanting. He has been exploring the Tuva and Mongolian traditions since 2022 through master classes with Batsükh Dorj, Nemekhbayar Yadmaa, Erdenetsetseg Khenmedekh, and Baldandorj Avirmed, organized by Johanni Curtet. Since 2023, he has been performing regularly in daycare centers, schools, residential facilities for people with disabilities, day-care centers, and nursing homes. In August 2025, he joined Batsükh in Tsengel in the Upper Altai region of Mongolia, a true immersion in Tuva culture, followed by Tserendavaa Dashdorj, a representative of the older generation of Mongolian khöömii in Chandman, as well as Odsuren Batar and J. Mendbayar in Ulaanbaatar.

Aurélie Entringer - MetaSol
Viola Player - Sound Explorer - Music & Vibration
Trained in classical music and a graduate of the Metz Conservatory, the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, and Indiana University, I have built a career that combines chamber music, orchestral performance, and sound exploration. As a winner of Adami’s “Révélations Classiques” award, I have had the privilege of performing alongside Maxim Vengerov, Joshua Bell, and Janine Jansen, and of collaborating with prestigious ensembles such as the Verbier Festival Orchestra, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra.
As the founder of the ensembles SOLEÂME and MetaSol, I explore the vibrational power of music as a link between sound and energy. My journey through shamanism, kinesiology, and sound therapy has shaped a unique approach, uniting performance and vibrational exploration as tools for inner transformation.
MetaSolis a word I coined, merging two powerful concepts:
Meta, which evokes metaphysics, profound transformation (metamorphosis), and connection with higher planes of consciousness—particularly in reference to Metatron, a figure of wisdom and spiritual elevation.
Solfeggio, referring to the sacred frequencies of ancient solfeggio—a set of vibrations with harmonizing and regenerative properties that have been used for centuries to rebalance the being on the physical, emotional, and spiritual planes.
MetaSol is designed to be an immersive artistic experience, where music and its frequencies become vehicles for sensory and emotional exploration. Through a unique vibrational approach, each sound invites deep listening, awakening the imagination and fostering an intimate connection with oneself and the surrounding soundscape.
This approach offers a journey into a transcendent musical universe, where each note transcends mere vibration to become a universal language, creating an immersive and introspective experience.

Sayan
Khöömiich – Master of Mongolian and Tuvan Overtone Singing
In the spirit of sharing and celebrating traditions, I draw my inspiration from the musicality of nature and the elements. I passionately explore the art of listening and guide each person toward sonic creativity, while immersing myself in individual and collective rhythms. My unique teaching style flows from a deep connection to my intuition. My approach is rooted in the harmony of the body—the vessel of breath and voice—and the elevation of the spirit. While training in Khöömii—the famous Mongolian guttural and overtone singing—I earned a Certificate in Music Education in Traditional and Ancient Music from the Aubagne Conservatory after ten years of study. For me, passing on this knowledge is a source of joy and intense pleasure...
Bringing ancestral traditions to life and preserving them is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate existence and to come together; it is also a path to expanding consciousness.

Joël Berthelot
Sound Therapist - Singer-Songwriter - Multi-instrumentalist -
Driven by a deep appreciation for the living world, he has spent more than twenty years exploring the power of sound as a vehicle for transformation, connection, and inner awakening.
From an early age, he developed a passion for traditional Eastern European polyphonic music. He has performed with numerous vocal ensembles and has been conducting choirs for over two decades. He then trained in intuitive singing, vibrational singing, and overtone singing.
Alongside his artistic journey, he trained in sound therapy and mind-body work. Today, he offers training programs for aspiring sound therapists, through which he shares an integrative, sensitive, and embodied approach to vibration.
As an explorer of the world’s sounds, Joël weaves the voice together with therapeutic instruments such as gongs, crystal bowls, flutes, handpans, and drums to create soundscapes conducive to regeneration and reconnection with the self. His vibrational concerts are experienced as baths of presence: gentle, deep, and enveloping.
His intention is to open pathways to the sacred dimension of being, to awaken what lies dormant, and to remind each person of their own inner light.
Throughout his journey, he has been influenced and enriched by meaningful encounters, notably with Philippe Garnier, Miky Lagadec, François-Marie Dru, Johanni Curtet, Bernard Garat, and Jean-Yves Pennafiel.

Lisa Magrini
Soloist - Voice Teacher – Vocal Coach
A lyric soprano and passionate educator, Lisa Magrini has dedicated her life to the art of singing in all its forms. Trained at the Conservatory of Aix-en-Provence, she holds a dual bachelor’s degree in psychology and musicology, and went on to earn a master’s degree in early music performance from the Schola Cantorum in Basel.
Specializing in Gregorian chant, Renaissance polyphony, and Baroque and medieval music, Lisa also explores world music, sacred music, and intuitive singing. Alongside her career as a performer, Lisa has been teaching vocal technique since 2005. Together with her partner, singer and teacher Matias Miceli, she founded a singing school in Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, where they jointly share a caring and joyful approach to singing.
Today, Lisa works with singers from all backgrounds during workshops and themed sessions focusing on intuitive singing, singing and drumming, polyphony, early music, and world music. She has been teaching vocal technique through online courses since 2023. She also teaches Gregorian chant at the Abbey of Thoronet and in several monasteries in the south of France.
Among the repertoires she explores, that of Hildegard von Bingen holds a special place. Lisa interprets and shares this visionary music with deep respect for its spiritual essence. Through Hildegard’s chants, she explores the connection between vibration and inner elevation, offering her audience and students an experience that is both musical and meditative.
Committed to connecting the voice to the whole being, Lisa pursues ongoing research into the body and vocal awareness. She recently trained in Georgian polyphony, followed by hypnosis at the EFPH in 2023, which she now incorporates into her work as a vocal coach. She is also a composer and choir director, leading several vocal ensembles in the Var region, where she performs regularly in concert.
A rigorous yet inspired artist, Lisa Magrini sees singing as a path to knowledge and transformation: a space where one learns to listen to oneself and others, to connect with oneself and others, in order to add beauty and magic to our lives.

Sophie Cours
Sound Therapist – Facilitator – Shamanic Drum Keeper
I started out as an early childhood educator and worked in the social services sector in Marseille, Martigues, Arles, and elsewhere. After gaining experience in various roles, I turned to humanitarian work by pursuing training and earning my degree in international aid logistics. This experience with several NGOs proved to be very enriching, yet I felt its limitations. It allowed us to “heal wounds” but not to prevent conflicts at their root cause. I therefore realized that only by working on myself could I “change the world.” I understood that instead of trying to change things outside of myself, I needed to start by addressing what was happening within me. After starting a family and having a child—whom I took the time to welcome into my life— it was through Feng Shui and the approach of Pierre Thirault (founder of the European Institute of Feng Shui) that I became aware of the invisible world of energy and the main laws that govern it.(numerous workshops over two years) The power of intention was already beginning to take hold. Brigitte Dretz, through her personalized approach to sophrology, introduced me to a practice centered on “listening while being in the energy of the heart, “empathic listening,” as well as the awareness of making room for intuition and trusting it, rather than simply following pre-established meditations. Offering guided meditations that are inspired and in tune with the present moment has been a particularly enriching and beneficial experience for me. The “mirror body” method, developed by Martin Broffmann, has allowed me to delve deeper into my sensations by using the messages of thought forms to restore energetic balance through intention. I’ve been passionate about using Tibetan singing bowls for several years, and it was my encounter with Brigitte Choplain that sparked my interest in leading relaxation sessions using the vibrations of the bowls. I then trained under her to perform sound massages based on Peter Hess’s approach and his therapeutic singing bowls.

Tavalan Barry
Sound Colorist Without Borders - Vibrational and Sound Therapist - Percussion Instructor - Cercle de Badjans - Maker of Vibrating Shell Instruments
Initially self-taught, he later enrolled in a three-year African percussion school and continued his training at the IMF, the jazz school specializing in Cuban percussion.
Following his numerous artistic journeys across Africa, Tavalan has accompanied traditional groups from all corners of the continent.
A musician, percussion teacher, composer, and arranger, he leads world music singing circles, bhajans, and Circle Songs.
As a maker of Fulani flutes and creator of Triton conch shells—a handmade brand dedicated to vibrational sound massage and ceremonies—he also restores drums.
With 25 years of professional experience, his approach is based on intuition, adaptability, and sharing. He has demonstrated his talent by performing with groups across a wide range of musical styles: reggae, jazz, funk, soul, Cape Verdean, Senegalese, Malian, Guinean, Burkinabé, Beninese, Réunionese, and South African.
He set out from Marseille with an artistic caravan of 25 people and 8 trucks, traveling to Bamako, Mali, and covering approximately 17,000 km by road with the goal of fostering artistic and musical exchanges and solidarity with the local population. Concerts, film screenings, and community gatherings were highlights along the way.
He lived for a year in Bamako, Mali, where he was appointed rhythm and artistic director of the Maison des Arts de Bamako, led by Djely Makan Sako—a principal dancer with the National Ballet of Mali, as well as a painter and musician.
In Bamako, Tavalan had the good fortune to be taught the Fulani flute (an ancestral, “speaking” pastoral flute) by the great master Djiguiba Barry and his son, who lived very close to his home. Their relationship grew into a family bond, and Tavalan lived with them for a time in a house where daily life was nothing but music from morning till night, much like the life of the griots.
Every day was punctuated by music performed at traditional dance performances, weddings, baptisms, concerts, and private dinners on the rooftops of Bamako.
Throughout his career, Tavalan has led trios and groups playing salsa, reggae, afrock, ethnic music, chanson, maloya, fusion, and more—all while enriching his stage experience.
He collaborated with master dancer Ibraïma Koné to lead workshops at a juvenile detention center in Marseille and worked with organizations specializing in disability services through the Tétine et Biberon association, as well as in several children’s shows and carnivals with various associations related to the circus arts. He accompanied singer Claude Brame for four years on percussion and flutes and launched his solo career in singing circles, accompanying himself on guitar and percussion—played simultaneously with his feet—while performing mantras and sacred songsfrom around theworld. He organizes children’s jam sessions at the L’Eau de l’Ose family festival in Aubagne.
Returning to his roots at the heart of the African continent, while immersing himself in the music of other continents, he invites listeners on a quest for connection, letting go, and pushing beyond one’s limits, using his musical instruments to serve a variety of musical, theatrical, artistic, and therapeutic contexts.
A teacher of percussion and the Fulani flute (pastoral flute) at the Kélétché Foli music school, which he founded in 2010, he also composes using his rhythm mats, flutes, world drums, jew’s harps, guitar, and other eclectic musical curiosities.
He works with various performing arts companies in France and Europe, such as Onyrikon, Akili, Rara Woulib, Cyclo Plume, and Cirque Indigo, as well as numerous storytellers including Seydou Abatcha, Thierno Diallo, Kayro, Jorus Mbialla, and Bamy….
For the past seven years, he has been sharing and offering musical journeys with Vincent Lucas, a Kundalini yoga teacher, musician, photographer, and alchemist-guide on the path to well-being.
After thirteen years of experience crafting Fulani flutes for his students and the workshops he leads in France, Tavalan has been discovering and practicing the use of therapeutic tuning forks for the past eight years.
This exploration led him to take an interest in “sounding” shells and their role in ancestral cultures from all corners of the world.
Working as a “sound colorist”—focusing on the sensations evoked by sound vibrations and the importance of each instrument’s frequencies in the balance of a musical composition—Tavalan began collecting and transforming conch shells of various species, tuning them to precise frequencies.
For the past three years, he has been developing his artisanal brand, Triton, dedicated to designing sound conch shells crafted to harness the shell’s natural spiral and the invisible yet very real form that sound takes, in order to produce a sound and vibrational massage.
"Having a strong connection to and awareness of what water and the sea represent—the source of all life—and knowing that we, as human beings, are primarily made up of them, we, as parents, had no choice but to name our son Océam... A choice that emerged from a series of synchronicities or coincidences...”
Thus, therapeutic and ceremonial conch shells have been a natural extension of my life’s journey and also of my practice with therapeutic tuning forks, among other things.
Thinking of the spiral of the Fibonacci sequence, and the fact that “some” djembes are traditionally carved with a spiral pattern on the inside as well—to better resonate the skin—or that the shape of the wood can release a certain specific tone...
The magnificent spiral of the conch shells inspired me to use them to harness their resonance and vibration,while observing an immediate sense of physical well-being in those receiving this treatment and the sensation it creates in the skeletal structure—which in turn radiates throughout the rest of the body—as I blow into the conch with beautiful and positive intent, tuned by me in relation to the 12 Western notes and based on A 432, 440 hertz, or another frequency in harmony with the instrument.
A powerful new tool for sound therapy—for therapists or ceremonial wind instrument players—that was inspired to me and which I have named Triton*, in harmony with the elements of life.
