ABOUT US
Sounds of the Ocean is an award-wining immersive experience
to guide you on a mindful underwater odyssey.
The experience connects us with the underwater world,
through sound, music, visual art, dance, and poetry.
Join us at a live performance, film screening or sound installation to support
your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.
WHY OCEANS? WHY SOUND?
Oceans contain between 50% - 80% of all life on Earth.
Our goal is to raise awareness and understanding
around the critical issues facing the health of our oceans
while supporting people to live healthy lives.
Our commitment is to hold space for you to relax,
and inspire mindful activism to protect the sea.
THE EXPERIENCE
We will guide you to a depth of 3000 feet beneath the ocean's surface listening to recordings of ocean life from the deep waters of Monterey Bay Canyon just off the shores of Northern California.
We combine these sounds with instruments including voice, clarinet, handpan, harp, piano, cello, crystal & Tibetan bowls, and ambient percussion to guide you through a relaxing musical journey.
The experience blends high-resolution footage of whales and dolphins with original visual art to fully transport you to the underwater world and welcome you back.
RETREATS
Maui Ocean Retreat
Immerse yourself in a mindful retreat on the stunning island of Maui. Join us as we connect with, learn from, and care for the ocean. We will breathe through its waves, listen closely to its creatures and its music, and move with its waters. We will practice holistic sustainability, nourishing ourselves with the ocean's gifts, and giving back in return.
