A Soundscape is an immersive listening experience created with gongs, singing bowls, voice, percussion, resonant instruments, silence, and other layers of sound.

Rather than simply listening to a performance, you are invited to experience sound with your whole awareness—to rest, breathe, imagine, notice, and listen deeply.

Not at all.

Soundscapes are designed for newcomers as well as experienced practitioners. There are no poses to master, songs to learn, or meditation skills required.

Come as you are.

We usually begin by settling into the space, offering a simple introductions and sharing tea. Depending on the gathering, we may incorporate breath, gentle movement, intention setting, or guided meditation before moving into the longer immersive sound experience.

Every Soundscape is a little different.

No. You are welcome to lie down, sit in a chair, sit on the floor, or change positions when you need to.

Comfort matters more than doing things a particular way. Please let us know if you need any accomadations.

For floor-based events, we generally recommend bringing a yoga mat or padded surface, blanket, pillow, water, and anything else that helps you feel comfortable.

Comfortable clothing and a journal are nice to have. If you want to bring something to share that is welcomed.

We do have extra comforts, come as you are!

You are always welcome to adjust your position, sit up, take a break, or quietly step outside.

We encourage you to listen to your body and take care of yourself throughout the experience.

That's completely okay.

Some people become deeply relaxed and drift off. Others remain very alert, imaginative, emotional, or reflective. There is no particular experience you are supposed to have.

Please let us know before the experience.

Sound can be powerful, and some instruments can produce strong frequencies and vibrations. We can help you choose a location farther from the instruments and discuss other ways to make the experience more comfortable.

Earplugs or hearing protection are also welcome.

We strive to create spaces that welcome different sensory, neurological, physical, and communication needs.

You are welcome to move, use sensory supports, wear hearing protection, choose a quieter location, or take breaks as needed.

If there is something that would make participation more comfortable for you, please reach out before the event.

Everyone responds to immersive sound differently.

You might experience relaxation, curiosity, emotion, imagery, physical sensations, creative ideas, sleepiness, stillness—or simply an interesting evening of sound.

We leave time whenever possible to transition gradually out of the experience. Depending on the gathering, there may be quiet reflection, conversation, journaling, movement, tea, or simply a few moments to reconnect with your surroundings.

There is no need to immediately explain or interpret what you experienced.
