“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
Viktor E. Frankl
What is Follow the Sound?
Follow the Sound is an immersive guided sound experience that takes you on a deep journey within yourself.
The art of thinking is a mastery that requires a reverence for space. Space exists between the external events or internal thoughts and our reactions to these events or thoughts in our lives. The more we can understand how to use space as a tool to override our initial conditioned reactions and behavioral patterns, the more we can respond to life with the capacity to choose consciously and from a place of presence and equanimity.
In Sound Meditations, we learn to listen to the silence between the sounds, the spaces between the notes, to learn about the power of silence...power of space. Listening is not a passive experience. Follow the Sound teaches us how to deeply listen to outside sounds to activate and listen to the sounds within ourselves.
By learning how to listen, one learns how to silence the mind. Silence becomes Space. Space becomes the power to choose and create our realities.
Your personal invitation to Follow the Sound
Join us for an introspective journey. Empty what is ready to be emptied. Let go of all that is excess. Release all that feels like noise. It's a beautiful opportunity for healing through feeling, releasing patterns, beliefs, emotions, identities and more through new awareness, and for a new discovery of self.
About our sound journey…
The immersive and introspective sonic journey is comprised of six parts
We will discuss the esoteric, scientific and therapeutic properties of sound and share the lessons he has learned from his various teachers and ongoing research.
01
BRIEF INFORMATIVE TALK
We open with a series of kundalini yoga based movements designed to ground us in our bodies and activate our minds. By activating the parasympathetic nervous system we begin the journey inward.
02
MOVEMENT
03
BREATHWORK
Inspired by Stanislav Grof's Holotropic breathing technique, you will be guided through a powerful three-part breath that will enable you to disconnect from the “monkey mind” just enough to reach heightened states of awareness and a deeper state of meditation.
Using your own vocal cords, you will discover your unique frequencies, while tuning into the surrounding environment. This wordless form of vocalization will serve as a platform for self-expression and release, as well as an opportunity to bask and tune into a different kind of vibration.
04
VOCAL MEDITATION
We will guide a sonic journey into the inner landscape of self using overtone-emitting instruments (gongs, singing bowls, chimes, tuning forks etc.) These rich overtones affect the brainwave cycles, neurochemistry, autonomic nervous system, heart-rate variability, and subtle energy in the body. The sound meditation sets the stage for a deep, meditative and unique altered state of consciousness allowing us to disconnect from physical, mental, emotional and psychological habitual patterns.
05
SOUND
06
CONNECTION
We will have time to share musings, thoughts, feelings and poetics about our individual experiences while sharing snacks and beverages after ceremony.

This sound journey is an Invitation to Reset, Reground, & Gain Clarity
In each moment we write the stories of our lives. These stories are built upon concepts of belief. During our time together we will utilize tools of enhanced awareness that enable you to identify beliefs that no longer serve you. With that awareness, you choose how the next chapter of your story is written
