Sika Sound Journey Healing Workshop

All day experiential workshop with Sika.

Enter a beautiful world of evocative soundscapes...
Sika holds a safe space for us to drop into relaxation, in a series of healing Sound Journeys throughout the day. The sound offers us a gateway to reconnect to ourselves, earth and great mystery.

Sika plays empathically in-the-moment, as his beloved collection of natural instruments open him and us to spirit. Didgeridoo, drums, native flutes, rattles and Māori taonga puoro (‘singing treasures’). His deep sonorous voice also adds to the soundscapes, as do foraged natural objects like leaves, sticks, bones and shells.

Sound Journeys are a shamanic style of sound bath. Like most gong/sound baths, people generally lie down and relax to the healing sounds. But the Sound Journey really is a ‘journey’ – a powerful inner experience.

The day will combine:

- Live Sound Journeys
- Time for personal reflection / journaling
- Wisdom teachings
- Sharing together as a group

Some prior experience of meditation is helpful but not necessary. If you feel called to attend it will be a pleasure to welcome you.

Sika is a Sound Artist based in New Zealand, renowned for his innovative use of ancient instruments.
His music tells stories and depicts landscapes. It speaks of old relationships with trees, rocks and elemental spirits.
Sika's devotion to living a path that merges nature's wisdom with contemporary culture, gives him an authentic and unique presence in this emerging genre. His work reflects a lifetime of listening to the rhythms of nature.
