✨Sound as Ceremony✨

Sound as Ceremony: A One-Day Immersive in Listening, Facilitation & Relational Sound Practice

Sunday, November 8 | 12–7 PM
Awareness Center Yoga, Pasadena, CA
In-Person + Remote Participation Available

Learn to facilitate sound baths and one-on-one sound experiences through presence, deep listening, and relational awareness.

Sound as Ceremony is a one-day immersive for those who want to work with sound not simply as a collection of techniques, but as a responsive and relational practice. Through instruments, voice, rhythm, silence, nervous system awareness, and energetic perception, you'll learn to listen to what is happening within yourself, the participant, the environment, and the relational field.

At the heart of this training is a simple principle:

Sound is relationship.

Most sound trainings teach what to play. Sound as Ceremony teaches how to listen.

Rather than following a prescribed sequence of sounds, you'll explore how to notice what is emerging, make intentional choices, work with pacing and silence, and create sound experiences that feel grounded, ethical, and attuned. You'll also develop practical foundations for facilitating both group sound baths and one-on-one sessions.

During this immersive, you'll explore:

• Deep listening and nervous system awareness
• The relational field and sound as ceremony
• Working with instruments, voice, rhythm, and silence
• Guiding sound journeys with clarity and care
• Creating ethical and grounded containers for practice
• Foundations of one-on-one and group facilitation
• Toning, vocal expression, and intuitive sound practices
• Listening and responding rather than performing

This is an experiential training. You'll have opportunities to listen, practice, explore sound, and begin integrating the principles into your own facilitation style.

Who This Training Is For

Sound as Ceremony is ideal for Reiki practitioners, energy workers, yoga teachers, coaches, bodyworkers, existing sound practitioners, and those who feel called to explore sound as a practice of presence, connection, and relational awareness.

You do not need to be an experienced musician or sound practitioner to participate.

What You'll Leave With

By the end of the immersive, you'll have a foundation for facilitating simple sound baths, guided sound journeys, and one-on-one sound experiences using instruments, voice, rhythm, and silence. You'll also leave with a deeper understanding of listening as a facilitation skill and how to develop a sound practice that is responsive rather than performative.

In-Person + Remote Participation

In-person participants will gather at Awareness Center Yoga in Pasadena for the full six-hour immersive and hands-on practice.

Remote participants will join the training live and participate in the teachings, listening practices, vocal exploration, demonstrations, reflection, and facilitation exercises from their own space. You do not need to own an extensive collection of instruments to participate remotely. You can work with the instruments and sound-making tools already available to you, including your voice.

Come ready to listen differently.

Sound as Ceremony invites you to move beyond asking, What should I play next? and begin asking, What am I hearing, noticing, and responding to now?

Practitioner Review: "Reina is amazing. I had the great pleasure of working with her virtually on Sound Bath Facilitation, and her energy, enthusiasm, and patience made the experience that much more meaningful. From the very beginning, she created a welcoming and supportive environment that made it easy to learn, ask questions, and grow with confidence. What impressed me most was not only her knowledge, but her ability to share it in a way that felt accessible, engaging, and authentic. I walked away with a deeper understanding of the practice, a greater appreciation for the intention behind it, and a renewed excitement to continue exploring this work. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to learn from her and am incredibly excited to work with her again in the future." - Sonny A.
