Sound Bath Showcase
Encore Day

A lifelong musician and composer — classically trained organist, improvising jazz pianist, decades of professional audio production — who now turns that ear on the complex resonances of singing bowls and gongs. Bob facilitates in-person Sonic Sanctuary events in New York, and his audio background lets him deliver virtual sound baths and recordings that capture the real acoustic depth of these instruments. He also consults for facilitators trying to improve their own systems for recording, online and live work.

A sound practitioner and vibroacoustic artist raised on piano and percussion, who found the stage as a musical theater actor in his thirties. In his forties, sobriety, meditation and yoga led him to sound healing. He tells people he came alive at 45. Nic founded The Sonic Ray in 2025 and holds live group sound baths for retreats, wellness centers, hospice groups and yoga studios.

ERYT 500, YACEP. A dedicated yoga student and teacher, and proprietor of Pure Yoga in the Columbia River Gorge. Twenty-five years in the yoga community have gone into building a studio that encourages students to explore their practice and a deeper connection with themselves, through classes that are safe, purposeful and fun.

A storyteller and sound artist, and the creator of LifeTracks — music that helps the things you know become easier to remember, feel and live from. Care's work explores what becomes possible when sound, story, technology and everyday life become one practice, and she's drawn to spaces where people can arrive as they are, receive something, and follow their curiosity.

Running through all of it is a belief in stewardship — of land, communities, organizations, and one another.

Maria came to this in search of something more. Reiki helped first. Then, while she was researching metaphysical subjects, Ohm Store ads started appearing — so she ordered her first bowls, and then more bowls. Sound School followed, because she wanted to learn what those bowls could actually do. She retires next year and plans for this to be the next chapter: most likely an integration of sound therapy and reiki, unfolding as it should.

Retired, and a year into sound healing — which began as a way to deepen his own relaxation and meditation. It started with two bowls from The Ohm Store, a Jupiter G2 and a Silver, and grew into an ongoing study of how bowls interact through harmony, sustain and overtones. Earlier this year he took the Silver bowl to Hawaii to call whales; a photograph of a paddleboarder and a whale in the same frame went viral. He recently went from a mobile sound bath for one person to a demonstration for an audience of thirty-two.
