An Immersive Experience at The Sanctuary
A private space located in Mckinleyville along the Mad River and the Hammond Trail. Exact address sent via email after purchase.
Imagine being suspended in flowing aerial silk, gently swaying, surrounded by the penetrating warmth of a wood fire and enveloped in waves of living sound.
Welcome to The Sanctuary.
An intimate, thoughtfully curated environment where silk, fire, and sound come together in a deeply immersive sensory experience. The gentle movement of the hammocks, the warmth of the flames, and the crackling of the embers invite a feeling of being supported, held, and nurtured. Around you, sound moves, undulates, and resonates from all directions, creating a spacious, enveloping landscape that can feel almost weightless, like flight.
The Living Sounds
At the heart of each gathering is an evolving expression through sound. The gongs, shruti box, frame drum, crystal bowls, and Native American style flute each bring their own distinct voice, texture, and felt expression.
The gongs can move from delicate whispers to immense, penetrating waves of vibration. The shruti box offers a continuous, grounding resonance. The frame drum brings rhythm, pulse, and a connection to something deeply felt in the body. Crystal bowls shimmer with clarity and sustain, while the flute carries a breath of melody, spaciousness, and tenderness.
Together, these instruments become living voices in a dynamic conversation. Their interplay creates movement, contrast, tension, release, and profound stillness. Each sound has its own presence, yet each contributes to a larger unfolding expression.
The Art of Composition
Each gathering features original sound compositions born from inspiration and shaped through intention, practice, and refinement.
I compose with an awareness of the full spectrum of human experience and the polarity that gives life its depth. Delicate and immense. Soft and bold. Spacious and dramatic. Stillness and movement. Light and shadow.
There is a musical architecture to each composition, an underlying structure that gives the journey direction while leaving room for intuition, spontaneity, and the energy of the moment. Over time, each piece is practiced, explored, and refined, becoming a living composition that continues to evolve.
The people present, the atmosphere, and the moment itself all become part of its expression. No two journeys are exactly alike.
The Invitation
Sound offers a bridge into presence. As the layers of vibration unfold, the activity of the mind can soften, creating space to move beyond familiar patterns of thought and reconnect with the intelligence of the body.
There is an opportunity to settle into the moment, to feel, receive, and become more available to what is alive within you.
Everything that arises is welcome. Joy, sadness, tenderness, grief, intensity, and everything in between. The full spectrum belongs. The invitation is to meet these experiences with curiosity, presence, and an open heart.
There is nothing to fix, figure out, or become. Simply allow yourself to be here, to listen, and to feel. Let what wants to be seen, heard, or felt have room to emerge.
Come as you are.
Settle into the silk. Feel the warmth. Receive the resonance.
An invitation to explore the depth of your own experience and embrace the beautiful complexity of being alive.
