Animal Connection Sound Journey

Animal Connection Sound Journey

A Guided Meditation and Immersive Sound Bath Inspired by Animals and Nature

October Theme:: The Heart of Companionship

Wednesday, October 21, 2026

Choose the separate 4:30–5:30 p.m. or 6:30–7:30 p.m. listing.

For our first public Animal Connection Sound Journey, we will celebrate the bonds that bring animals and people together.

Through meditation, rhythm, and immersive sound, you will be invited to connect with the love, trust, companionship, and sense of belonging found within the human–animal bond. You may journey with an animal who currently shares your life, one you have known in the past, or another animal who holds meaning for you.

This broad and welcoming theme is for anyone who loves animals and wishes to honor the many ways they become part of our homes, our stories, and our hearts.

Animals invite us into a different way of being—one rooted in presence, awareness, and the quiet language of the heart.

Created and offered together by Jaime and Gunther Kuhn, the Animal Connection Sound Journey weaves guided meditation, rhythmic drumming, singing bowls, gong, chimes, rattles, and other sounds into a shared experience of rest, reflection, and connection.

Each gathering invites you to slow down, settle your nervous system, and connect with an animal through a guided meditation in whatever way feels meaningful to you. You might choose a companion who currently shares your life, an animal who lives elsewhere, an animal who has died, a wild animal or species, or the larger presence of animals and nature.

No experience with meditation, Animal Reiki, guided journeys, or sound baths is required. There is no particular experience you are expected to have and nothing you need to achieve. You may notice a memory, image, feeling, insight, or peaceful sense of companionship. You may simply experience the gathering as a much-needed opportunity to rest. All of these possibilities are welcome.

What to Expect

The experience begins with an accessible guided meditation and inner journey grounded in a combination of Animal Reiki and Shamanic Journey. Jaime and Gunther will support the meditation with frame drum and carefully chosen sounds before the spoken guidance gently fades into an immersive sound bath.

Together, they will tend the room and shape the soundscape using singing bowls, gong, chimes, rattles, drum, and other instruments. Sound and steady rhythm may help quiet mental activity and encourage the nervous system to move toward a more relaxed state. From this place of greater ease, we may find it more natural to listen inwardly and feel our connection with animals and the living world.

At the end of the sound bath, Jaime will gently guide you back into the room. There will be time to become grounded and briefly reflect on the experience. Sharing is always optional.

Meet Your Facilitators

Jaime Kuhn is the founder of The Empowered Companion®, a Let Animals Lead® Animal Reiki practitioner and teacher, and a Certified Companion Animal End-of-Life Doula. Her work is devoted to honoring the human–animal bond through presence, meditation, compassion, and heart-centered connection.

Gunther Kuhn brings a lifelong love of music and a calm, attentive presence to these gatherings. Raised with symphonies and opera and shaped by his early experience singing in a boys' choir, he developed a deep appreciation for harmony, composition, and the emotional language of music. His love of animals and the natural world also deeply informs his approach.

Together, Jaime and Gunther create a welcoming space where love, gratitude, grief, curiosity, and connection may all be present.
