Your Journey Experience

1. Arrive & Settle

The Sound Journey begins by creating a safe, comfortable space for you to drop in and let go. You’ll settle onto the floor in a supported position—seated, on your knees, on all fours, or lying down—whatever feels most natural for your body. No prior experience is necessary, though those with an existing meditation or journey practice may find it easier to step into the experience.

2. Enter the Shamanic State of Consciousness

This immersive session combines live, channeled music with ancient Nordic traditions of Galdr and Seiðr, using voice, drumming, rattles, bells, and other instruments to guide the energy. The intention is to enter the Shamanic State of Consciousness (SSC)—a trance-like state that can be light and dreamlike or deep enough to temporarily step outside ordinary reality.

Movement is optional but encouraged: rocking, shaking, jostling, or other subtle motions can help the body and mind open to the experience. Through sound and rhythm, we drop stories, quiet the mind, and invite connection with the mystery, spirit, and ancestral energies.

3. Integrate & Reflect

After the session, you’ll be invited to gently return from the trance state, taking time to integrate your experience. The live sound work helps anchor insights and shifts, while you are encouraged to reflect on sensations, emotions, or messages that arose. Over time, repeated sessions deepen your connection to the SSC and enhance your ability to journey with rhythm and intention.
