In this moving and inspiring episode, I speak with Dilraj Kaur, song circle facilitator, Kundalini Yoga teacher, and social justice advocate. Dilraj shares her powerful journey of reconnecting with her voice after years of silence, and how growing up in the Sikh faith, where song plays such a central role, planted the seeds for the work she now does through sacred song circles.
We explore how singing, especially in community, can be a healing, spiritual experience, bringing us back to presence and deeper connection with ourselves and others. Dilraj speaks beautifully about the power of repetition in song, the nature-based themes woven into the lyrics, and the way harmony can open the heart. No vocal skill is needed, just the willingness to show up and express.
She also shares her path as a Kundalini Yoga teacher and how that work supports the voice and energetic body, including the throat chakra. We discuss the creation of her own song space at her home called Sarun which she hopes will expand further.
Later in the conversation, we delve into her incredible work in social justice through Citizens UK, the UK’s largest and most diverse people-powered alliance. From campaigning for refugee rights to tackling housing injustice and racism, Dilraj is a shining example of spiritual action rooted in community.
This is an episode about reclaiming your voice, in every sense and letting it lead you back to connection.
