The healing power of sound is well documented, and in recent years sound therapies have risen to the forefront of natural healing modalities. Join us as we explore together how self-created vocal sound and intentional listening practices open channels to personal healing and transformation. A gentle introduction to the science, philosophy, and spiritual resonance of sound healing informs each session.

Our time together will include sound baths, sounding exercises, intentional listening meditations, journalling exercises and group sharing, You will also receive a weekly collection of digital materials after each session to help integrate your sonic experiences into your daily life.
