Songs, Sounds & Stillness
Norrklang - Sounds & Stories from the North
Let me take you on a journey of discovery,
into dimensions I would never have found if it weren’t for the lighthouses
that other people have been for me throughout my life.
Those who have lit the way and shown me where to go.
But also those I met along the way who did not wish me well,
who led me astray and let me run aground.
It is a story about me, but also about you
or someone you will meet one day.
Let me inspire you to discover small but meaningful,
sustainable thoughts for your life.
Through joy and sorrow, anger and happiness,
imagination and everyday life,
I invite you further towards an awareness of the power you already have,
but which may be hidden behind an undiscovered doorway
in a dimension you have yet to explore.
Singing, music and stillness
with Anna Sellén
As a singer, I take on a wide range of assignments – from weddings and funerals to festivals, conferences and concerts, on both small and large stages and in churches. Sometimes I perform alone with my guitar; sometimes the singing is part of a larger arrangement.
I also write my own music – narrative, lyric-driven pop, mostly in Swedish, about all that life holds: from joy to sorrow and everything in between. You can read more about my music and my work as a singer on the Anna Sellén StorySinger page.
Music and teaching
Guitar lessons are available both individually and in small groups. I also lead singing sessions for babies in different settings.

Sound Rest & Silence
One-to-one or small group
Sound Rest & Stillness is a guided deep-rest experience in a calm setting, supported by voice, sound and silence.
We begin with gentle settling into the body, then rest lying down, fully clothed. The practice is inspired by yoga nidra, with no poses and no performance — nothing to achieve, only to receive.
In individual sessions, singing bowls are placed on and around the body. Sound and vibration unfold slowly, sometimes with soft vocal tones. Each session is adapted to your needs that day.
After the rest, you’re welcome to sit a while with a warm or cold drink and a light snack.
Language: Swedish or English
Duration: approx. 1–2 hours
Location:
Outdoors and in studios in and around Luleå
The person behind
NORRKLANG
My name is Anna Sellén.
I’m a singer, educator, and the founder of Norrklang.
My roots run deep in the north of Sweden – in its stories, songs, traditions, and the surrounding forest.
But the forest hasn’t always felt like home.
It took time to understand what it had to offer me. A slow unlearning – after years of stress – when I realized that change wouldn’t come unless I lived differently.
That’s how Norrklang came to life.
An invitation to reclaim something many of us have lost:The chance to slow down.
To breathe more deeply.
To return to a more natural rhythm – something sustainable beyond productivity.
I believe rest is not something we must earn. We don’t need to prove our worth to deserve a pause. Often, restlessness is simply the body’s call for rest.
Through Norrklang, I create experiences where nature, voice, sounds and stories meet.
A space to soften, to let go,
and to share meaningful moments together.
