Chanel Weiser
Fueled by a passion ignited in childhood, Chanel has spent the past 22 years honing her craft as a singer-songwriter. Her journey began when her father taught her how to play guitar at the tender age of 11. Each new chord learned was unlocking a wellspring of melody and verse from within her soul. High school choir became a stage for her budding talent, where she discovered the power of her voice and the joy of harmonizing with others. This experience was a springboard for her songwriting, fueling her desire to express herself through original music.
At 16 years old, Chanel took the stage for a few years as the lead vocalist of "New Heir," a heavy metal and melodic rock band, where she continued to explore an edgier side to her love for music, co-writing songs and further developing and strengthening her vocal range and ability.
Today, Chanel continues to pour her heart and soul into her music, drawing inspiration from her personal experiences and the world around her.
As a performer, Chanel was inspired to explore yoga and energy healing when she discovered the foundational elements of these practices focus on breath control, inner strength and aid in creative flow, keeping the body-instrument fine tuned and the energetic system aligned with our higher purpose. This resulted in a journey into wellness which led to Chanel obtaining her certification as a Hatha Yoga Instructor and Reiki Master. Chanel combines her gifts and shares her medicine to help others on their own unique path to vibrant health and well-being.

Mahdieh
Maleki Sani
I was born in Iran. My singing journey started at the age of 11, and when I was 23, my journey as a soloist and chorister in a Turkish classical music choir in Turkey for 3 years took on a professional face.
Singing was always with me, it became my best, vocal friend. There were times when I didn’t have money for my rent or food, but I never hesitated to give the last of my money to singing lessons. I sang at a festival for the first time in Marmaris Bonjuk Bay in 2019 (October 25-27), and in 2023 (September 16-17) I sang in an improvised way in Farsi at the Bhakti Festival in California, Joshua Tree. These continued to be stages where my evolving musical expressions found resonance.
I continue to sing in America. I never thought that my singing in Farsi would attract so much attention in America today. Art has brought me closer to reading and knowing myself more deeply. I want everyone to experience this pleasure. This is an incredible method of creating happiness and maintaining health. Singing is even used as a treatment method for many diseases. In order to serve the spiritual and physical health of myself and others, I create singing circles and invite everyone to sing. Everyone deserves to love their own voices. No education system taught us this.
I will be leading a group singing at Mystical Winterfest and I can't wait to see you all there!
Tina Sani
My musical journey began through intuition, not bound by convention. I attune to divine
healing, crafting a harmonic melody with the handpan as I align the sounds in a free, expensive way. I am happy to be accompanying my sister Mahdieh Maleki at Mystical Winterfest!
Trusting in Divine Channeling heals!
