Bituin Studio first Sound Practitioner-in-Resident, Erica Nguyen from Sound Healing Project. As part of this residency, Erica will be offering a monthly sound bath series — each one thoughtfully curated to spotlight a traditional instrument from different parts of the world.
These intimate gatherings go beyond relaxation. Each session centers around a specific instrument, with the entire soundscape designed to support and elevate its voice. You’ll be gently guided through a sound journey that invites you to connect more deeply with the vibrations moving through your body.
Before the sound bath, we’ll share a brief history and origin of the featured instrument, offering cultural context and inviting you to explore how your understanding can shape your relationship with sound. Afterward, we’ll open space for optional group sharing and discussion — a chance to reflect, ask questions, and connect in meaningful conversation
We invite you to join us in this evolving dialogue between sound and self!
Para Sayo (for you)
