We live inside sound but rarely listen. Rooted in the Senia Gharana and South Asian traditions of sound, from Kashmiri Shaiva meditation to Sufi thought, Sound Journey offers private six-week online programs in listening as a way of connecting with people, places, and yourself. Each journey is shaped around your life: a personal listening map, a daily ritual, live sitar, curated recordings, and a raga recorded for you. Begin with a free introductory listening session.
I use Tibetan singing bowls in individual appointments and small groups of up to eight people. Before we begin, we talk about sound sensitivity, seating, and whether you prefer the bowls near you or farther…
I teach humming, vocal toning, and careful listening in Mexico City and in live online groups. You do not need to read music or consider yourself a singer. We work with easy, repeatable sounds and pause often so everyone can notice effort, breath, and comfort.
I offer individual sound sessions, small listening groups, and shakuhachi concerts in Kyoto, with selected sessions available online. The music moves between traditional pieces, sustained tones, and quiet improvisation, with space for silence before and after each passage.
