Vocal Toning for Peace with Tone Circle™ Facilitator Meri Sulcer

Peace begins within. Start with the deep nervous system calm Tone Circle™ somatic singing meditations are known for. Registration required.

You've seen them on your feed. Barefoot in saffron robes, walking 20+ miles a day through snowstorms and small towns, followed by millions online and thousands in the streets. The message that moved a divided country to line roadsides and weep: peace begins from within.

Vocal Toning for Peace is a Tone Circle somatic singing meditation — guided live with the soothing sounds of crystal singing bowls — inspired by the one idea from the viral Walk for Peace pilgrimage that transcended every religion, background, and belief system it encountered: peace isn't something you find out there. It's already inside you. You just have to unlock it.

Through guided meditation and freeform vocal toning we use our own voices to drop below the noise, regulate the nervous system, and make direct contact with the frequency of peace that lives inside us. This is not a religious practice, but a somatic one that brings us back into mental, physical, and spiritual alignment through one of the most powerful nervous system regulation tools you've been carrying around this whole time without knowing it: your voice.

✨ About Your Guide

About Your Guide

Meri Sulcer is a certified sound practitioner, Tone Circle™ facilitator, and founder of Grounded Sound Healing. A lifelong lover of music and sound, Meri first experienced the power of vocal harmonics through singing and a cappella, discovering how the human voice can create connection, resonance, and a profound sense of belonging.

Her work weaves together vocal toning, crystal alchemy singing bowls, gong, breathwork, and meditation to create restorative experiences that support nervous system regulation, deep relaxation, and reconnection.

Trained through Tone Circle Seattle, Seattle Sound Temple, and The Sound Healer’s Academy, Meri brings a gentle, grounded, and inclusive approach to her work, creating welcoming spaces where people can explore their own voices, experience the power of collective sound, and simply come as they are.

🔔 What is improvised vocal toning?

It's a simple, free-form practice of sustaining sound on a hum or open vowel. When paired with intention, vocal toning becomes a powerful tool for calming the nervous system, grounding the body, and rebalancing the mind. All sound is improvised—there's no music to learn, no lyrics to memorize, and nothing to perform. Feeling shy? It's totally okay to just listen at Tone Circle Seattle events—there's no pressure to make sound, only an open invitation. Your voice matters because it's yours—whether spoken, intoned, or silently felt. In a group vocal meditation, the magic isn't in "singing pretty" or getting anything right—it's in showing up. It starts with hearing yourself and, when you feel ready, allowing yourself to be heard. Still nervous? Bring an emotional support friend. All people are welcome! 🤗

🎒 What should I bring?

We often sit on the floor for most of the practice, so feel free to bring your favorite cushion, zafu, or anything else that helps you sit comfortably. Chairs will also be available. A water bottle is a great idea too—your vocal cords will thank you. 💧

🚗 Where should I park?

The studio has free parking available as well as street parking.
