Sonic Spheres
The Sphere Of Mystery
Join us for an immersive sound journey into the mystery of vibration and resonance. More than just sound waves traveling through air, sound is the invisible thread weaving together all of existence – connecting stars to our beating hearts, and speaking directly to the soul.
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” – Nikola Tesla
You will be gently guided through layers of harmonic tones and resonant frequencies designed to calm the mind, open the heart, and awaken profound inner balance. Each sound becomes a gateway, carrying messages beyond words and inviting you to journey inward, beyond thought and time.
This is the first, inaugural Sonic Sphere. They each will have a theme, a specific instrumentation and/or carry their own unique quality. Each one offers a sacred space where every vibration holds a secret, every silence hums with possibility, and every tone helps you reconnect to the universal rhythm that connects us all.
Be the first to experience ✩ The Sphere of Mystery ✩
Please bring any comfort items you might want: a pillow, blanket, eye mask, etc. We have a limited number here to offer.
The energetic exchange starts at $20. Please be generous and give more if you can to support both facilitator and host. Spaces are limited.
