Sound Meditation

A Deeply Restorative Sonic Journey

Similar to a sound bath, during a sound meditation you’ll lie down comfortably with pillows, blankets, and eyes closed. For 1.5 to 3 hours, Julian will guide you on a sonic journey created with a variety of overtone emitting instruments. These include bronze Himalayan singing bowls, a 32” symphonic gong, frame drums, koshi chimes, a shruti box, tuning forks, and much more.

A simple breathwork and vocal toning practice are usually included at the start to help settle the mind and soothe the body. Actively listening to the sounds during the meditative experience lends to a wildly imaginative, dreamlike journey.

The result is deeply restful and restorative for the nervous system. Your body can shed subtle layers of stress, while the mind settles into inner stillness and receives insightful guidance.

What folks are saying

  • “I've been to many sound baths before, and Julian’s wide variety of instruments and specific techniques helped me go deeper than I normally go. I went into it feeling restless, but then I left the sound meditation feeling elated, rested and energized like I took the perfect length nap.”

    Emma, certified hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner

  • “The sound meditation was like a sacred rest. Julian first guided our retreat group through a very grounding meditation where I felt connected and safe. Then as the sounds came in I felt like I was being taken on a journey of self exploration and deep rest.”

    Cindy, energy medicine practitioner

  • "I've never experienced more relaxation in my body before. Julian created a space that felt safe, welcoming, warm, and healing. He is incredibly knowledgable and attuned to the instruments, and I was blown away by the immediate calming effect sound had. Afterwards, I felt so light, clear, rested, and bright.

Julian combines a decade of meditation teaching and his sensitive musical ear to create unique therapeutic sound experiences for his clients. In 2021, he completed a 100-hour training with renowned ethnomusicologist Alexandre Tannous and master sound trainer David Shemesh to further hone his instrumental skills.

As a steward of Spirit Camp, Julian aims to create a safe and nurturing environment for people to self-heal and connect with their authentic selves, community, and the outdoors. Forever curious in his desire to grow into his wholeness, Julian continues to explore a wide range of spiritual practices that he weaves into his work.

As a facilitator, his intention is to guide self-healing where you’re empowered to follow your own inner guidance. Sound, in this case, is a means for your body to activate its own natural state of healing.
