“I offer a unique application in the therapeutic use of sound that combines modern science & ancient wisdom. Acoustic Sound Journeys take individuals through an experiential journey that can feel similar to practices of expanded consciousness such as breath work, meditation, or movement. In this journey I use intention, attuned presence, and movement as we co-create a container that will support your earliest experiences of existence and belonging. In this way, you are invited to experience your authentic “beingness” – your inter-connectivity with others and your reciprocal relationship with the natural world.”
Acoustic Sound Journey Workshops
Sound and vibration have been portals for transformation that have been used across many cultures for centuries. Today, advanced technology supports the contemporary use of sound and vibration through the use of tools such as the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP). Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, the SSP is based on his research of the vagus nerve and his groundbreaking perspective called Polyvagal Theory. SSP is a neurologically-based acoustic intervention that utilizes the auditory pathways to calm physiological and emotional states, enhance social connection, and promote health and restoration.
Acoustic Sound Journey Workshops are my unique application of the SSP that integrates the ancient heart-led wisdom of traditional sound healing practices with modern science. Through the alchemy of the body, my workshops are designed to assist you in returning to your authentic blueprint of the larger Self through the process of embodied consciousness. This is a journey of deeper embodiment and expanded consciousness in and through the body by accessing the heart-portal to facilitate change and transformation – using the mechanism of sound and vibration.
This workshop will support you in:
- Deepening the capacity to come into your essential “beingness”
- Supporting the neurological pathways that allow us to yield into relational safety
- Strengthening self-compassion and the ability for attuned relational presence
- Gently dismantling the culturally-conditioned self & aligning with the Authentic Self
- Providing access to more spontaneity, joy, and creativity
- Discovering a renewed sense of belonging and connection to the natural world
- Reconnecting to innate gifts and talents
