Gong Immersion
This immersive experience leans into the rich sonority of gongs, creating vibrations that travel through the body and awaken physical sensation. Their primal, expansive tones often evoke a sense of dissolution and renewal.
As Monique weaves in the deep resonance of singing bowls, you may begin to feel a low rhythmic pulsing—almost like a “brain massage”—drawing the mind into profound relaxation. No effort is required, but to simply receive the sounds and follow them wherever they lead. More

The Musician’s Edge Workshop
Musicians enter sound practice with a clear and often underused advantage: they can perform.
The ability to bring a well-developed voice or instrument into a sound bath—along with trained listening, sensitivity to phrasing and form, nuanced musical awareness, and technical dexterity—has a direct impact on the depth, flow, and credibility of the experience. But this is not the same as concert performance. Without a shift in approach, even highly skilled musicians can default to habits that don’t translate.
This 2-hour online workshop is designed for musicians who want to use their training more deliberately in this context. No prior sound practitioner experience necessary. Learn More
