"Love Said to Me" is a heartfelt collaboration between sacred music duo Premanjali and spoken
word artist Ellaya from Israel. United by their shared love of poetry, prayer, and devotional song,
they weave the timeless words of Rumi and Hafiz into mantras and heart songs. Moving through laughter and lightness to tender sweetness, poignant longing and ecstatic joy, Ellaya and Premanjali create an atmosphere of beauty and devotion—a musical journey that invites the
heart to open in a rare and unforgettable concert experience.​

Love Said To Me - workshop
A heart-opening journey weaving together Living Poetry Practice and Premanjali’s devotional
music, this workshop invites participants into a living field of presence, voice, and shared
devotion. Through guided heart meditation, embodied exploration of Sufi poetry, and the gentle
power of sacred song, the words of Rumi and Hafiz come alive—not as texts, but as direct
experience moving through body and breath. We will sing, speak, feel, and remember together,
dissolving the sense of separation into a shared pulse of one heart, one love.
No prior experience is needed—only a willingness to enter, to listen, and to be moved.
