Sound Alchemy
The common term Sound Healing is often used to describe the work we do. We like to call it Sound Alchemy. We know that the medicine of resonance creates healing AND is also a beautiful alchemy, changing states of being from dissonance into harmony.
When life gets noisy and overwhelming, it is best to tune inside and listen to your center. The instruments help dissolve the noise inside you that is not you, allowing more flow and ease in your system. Our intentional sound is a channeled energy transmission, lifting you in expanded resonance, integrating lost soul parts — revealing healing through wholeness. We offer shamanic journey support — shamanic drumming — as well as Breath Alchemy — the healing power of ecstatic breathwork — as an added option during Sound Alchemy, simply select on checkout!
