Six months ago, I began a truly special journey with the Alembic Sound Foundations, guided by the wise and gentle Susaidh Soundsphere Scotland. At the time, I didn’t fully realise how much this path would open up for me, or the many gifts that would unfold alongside this exploration of sound.🌱
As we journeyed through the power of sound and frequency, I began to understand how each instrument resonates in its own way, gently guiding us into deeper states of awareness and healing. Through this, something new was quietly born within me. I feel so deeply grateful for the wisdom that was shared, and for the opportunity to walk this path not only with my life partner, but also alongside such kind and beautiful souls 🦋
What I received went far beyond learning. It was an introduction to ancient wisdom, to holding space, and to a deeper connection with myself, with others, and with the world around me. I was also gifted something I had long felt a calling for: a supportive, heart-led community. A deep sense of belonging.
Spending time working with sound in nature brought me even closer to Mother Earth. In the forest, I was being quietly witnessed, by forest companions, who would weave into the sound, the winds, birds, water, and even deer, paired with the element of fire, which I feel so connected to, and surrounded by all the elements, I found myself sinking into a much deeper relationship with the natural world.
This became even more real for me just this past weekend, as I had the chance to share what I’ve been learning with a supportive group for the final sound exam. It felt like such a privilege to hold space and offer sound in that way. Everyone who came brought such warmth, openness, and kindness, and I feel very thankful for the beautiful feedback they shared.
At the same time, I became aware that this chapter was coming to a close. just as I am about to begin my first year of Shamanic studies. It feels as though this path is gently guiding me back towards the natural ways, and in many ways, back home🌲🍄
I feel truly grateful for this entire journey, for the guidance I’ve received, for the friendships that have formed, and for the sense of community that continues to grow. It doesn’t feel like an ending, but rather a new beginning, especially as we look ahead to coming together regularly as a group of sound healers to share, connect, support and learn from one another ☀️
Thank you, from the heart, to everyone who has supported me along the way, and to those who continue to walk beside me through these chapters of life. A huge thank you to Suzi for being such a light, guide and support throughout this journey ❤️
I’d also love to share a few words from the lovely people who attended the sound session:
Julie – “I felt so relaxed, loved the stillness and imagery (I saw planets!) such a deep sense of relaxation.”
Trudi – “Melissa made me feel so welcome, she has a very gentle, calm, and soothing presence.”
Nikki – “I felt relaxed, really enjoyed the breathwork and the different sounds. Such a calming voice—and the cards and chocolate were a lovely touch.”
Martin – “A sense of the past merging with the future. The chimes felt like a journey, and I had a vision of my future. My very first sound experience—I’m grateful for it.”
I’m feeling quietly excited to see where this journey continues to lead 🤍
