immersive Sound experiences Are powerful,
full-body listening experience—
opening us to new possibilities of insight,
Rest, resilience, and life vision.
The use of therapeutic sound coupled with deep listening, swiftly calms the mind and grounds the body. We discover how to receive with our entire being, in a conscious state of rest and aliveness—amplifying our innate capacity for vitality. We are invited into an effortless state of meditation. My use of overtone-emitting instruments includes the voice through mantra, medicine melodies and improvised vocals, a large collection of hand-pounded Himalayan singing bowls, shruti, sansula, gong, and chimes. Frame drum, rattles, shakers and ocean draw on rhythm, and are trance inducing.
Attune to states of deep calm and wonder.
Transporting, gentle concerts help you deepen your meditation practice.
Sound & music Connect us deeply
with our inner world and our divine nature—
our natural state of being
that is calm, expansive, dynamic and awake.
Engaged practices using the voice, breath, attention and deep listening
are accessible, profound tools for healing and transforming consciousness.
Science has proven that a meditation practice produces elevated states of awareness, resilience, neuroplasticity, and creativity. This including gray-matter density —important for learning and memory—compassion, and introspection (Harvard 8-week study). In fact, studies show that meditation with Himalayan singing bowls reduces stress, fatigue, anger, depression, blood pressure and heart rate more than silent meditation alone, particularly for new practitioners.
Indigenous cultures have long understood the power of sound as medicine through song, dance, ritual and trance experiences. Toning, chanting, and deep listening practices can rewire the brain, and rebalance body, mind, and emotions—as well as re-mapping the nervous system. Through simple practices, we can discover how sound and listening can a literally transform space (inner and outer), both physically and psychologically.

This nuanced Sanskrit mantra and my arrangement that emerged from it, are parallel explorations of primal divine feminine energy. Shakti's embodiments of strength, power, love, and protectiveness— ultimately unfolding into her most refined, subtle forms. Her vast expressiveness and cyclical evolution, expressed through the deliberate pacing and layered instrumentation. Mantra infused with shamanic underpinnings, and influenced by plant medicine practices.
