Thoroughly enjoying holding sound journeys at Lammas Eco Village We started as the sun went down and came back into the room surrounding by candles. A beautiful transition much like the transition of seasons currently.

This building feels truly alive. Outside sound can sometimes be tricky to navigate during a sound journey. Traffic, people, every day life.

Not here, the outside sound becomes part of the communal sound scape. Rain on the glass, birdsong, the odd duck quack perfectly timed.

I always feel energised from the community that sound creates

Happy spooky season 🎃

I keep wondering whether our obsession with talking about community is actually a symptom of its absence.

There is so much content now about community. How to build it. How to find it. How to create belonging. How to live intentionally. We dissect it, analyse it, theorise it and turn it into something to be facilitated.

But for most of human history, did people even need to think about community in this way?

They were just living in it. Not necessarily harmoniously. Not without conflict, hierarchy or exclusion. But community wasn't another thing to fit into life. It was the structure life happened inside.

Somewhere along the way, particularly in the West, community seems to have shifted from something we inhabit to something we have to deliberately seek out and construct.

And I wonder if the fact we're talking about it so much is telling us something.

Maybe we're not discovering community.

Maybe we're homesick for it.

Apparently I have too many thoughts for Instagram 😂
So I've started writing on Substack.

I've wanted somewhere to write properly for a while. Not captions squeezed into algorithms, not polished little nuggets of wisdom somewhere I can actually follow an idea, contradict myself, tell stories and explore the things I find fascinating about people.
Community. Belonging. Conflict. Alternative ways of living. The systems we build. The weird things humans do when we try to live together. And probably quite a lot about what I've learned from the different worlds I've found myself in over the years.

I've published my first proper essay:

A Community Without Conflict Is a Cult
It's about why I don't think healthy community means everybody getting along all the time and what conflict can reveal about the places we belong to.

I've also started sharing shorter Notes over there between the longer pieces.

So if you enjoy my ramblings here but occasionally think “I'd actually read several thousand more words of this nonsense”, you're exactly my target demographic. 😂

What actually happens in a Soniarus 1:1? 🌿

That's probably a fair question, because it's not quite a massage, not quite a Sound Journey and definitely not a one-size-fits-all treatment.

You arrive as you are.

We have a chat about how you're feeling and what you need, and I shape the 75 minutes around you.

That might mean lying back and being completely immersed in sound. It might include singing bowls played directly on the clothed body, therapeutic tuning forks, Sonic Bodywork, massage, assisted stretching or movement.

Or you might simply need somewhere to stop for a while.

People come for all sorts of reasons feeling stressed or overloaded, physically tense or achy, disconnected from their body, needing proper rest, or simply because they're curious about experiencing sound and vibration in a completely different way.

You don't need to know what you need before you arrive. We work that out together.

I'm opening my lovely new space at Danderi, Glandwr for private sessions this week:

🌿 Friday 2 October - Fully Booked
🌿 Sunday 4 October
⏱ 75 minutes · £65

I'm still building my practice here in West Wales, so if you've been watching my slightly unusual collection of gongs, bowls and tuning forks wondering what on earth she actually does with all that 😂 come and experience it.

📍 Glandwr near Crymych / Whitland

Message me for the remaining appointment times or just to ask me anything before booking. 🤎

My weighted tuning forks are some of my favourite tools in Sonic Bodywork particularly 64 Hz and 96 Hz, which I often use together directly on the body. And there's a lovely reason these two work together.

96 Hz is exactly 1.5 × 64 Hz, creating a 3:2 frequency ratio the Perfect Fifth, one of the simplest and most consonant intervals in music.

Perfect fifths are often experienced as stable, open and harmonious. I love using the pair together to create a deeply tactile, grounding sensory experience two different vibrations that feel beautifully connected.

A little extra geekery 🤓: 64 Hz also has a genuine history in clinical neurology, where calibrated 64 Hz tuning forks are used to assess vibration sensation and peripheral nerve function. I often use tuning forks targeted on the bodies nerve map.

I also use 136.1 Hz, often known as the OM frequency within contemporary sound-healing traditions. And no, I'm not going to tell you that 136.1 Hz will realign your entire existence before you've even got your shoes back on. 😂

I work with clients living with fibromyalgia, arthritis, persistent pain and physical sensitivity, and some have reported noticeable pain relief during or after our sessions. That's their experience not a claim that a particular frequency treats their condition. For me, the interesting bit is much simpler:

Sound doesn't just have to be heard. It can be felt.

Two forks.
Two frequencies.
One perfect fifth.

And we notice how your body responds. 🎵

You can’t hold on to sound. 🌬️

Tonight’s Sound & Air Ceremony started with a rattle.

Repetitive rhythm has been used across cultures for centuries in ceremony, meditation and practices associated with altered states of awareness.

And then, several thousand years later, we invented the rave. 😂

Tonight though, the practice was simply listening.

Maybe the repetition absorbs you. Maybe your mind quietens. Maybe it irritates the s**t out of you.

All of it is information.

Because listening isn't just hearing it's noticing what happens inside us in response.

And sound teaches us something beautiful about Air.

A sound arrives.
It moves through the air.
We experience it.
Then it's gone.

We can't hold onto it.

Maybe emotions need some of that freedom too, not pushed away or fixed, but noticed, felt and allowed to move.

Something powerful happened in the Sound Journey afterwards.

Several people described experiencing fear and dissonance at the same point. I felt it strongly in my own chest and throat, and instinctively began to sing.

Something shifted.

And together, we moved through it.

Fear experienced alone can feel debilitating. Experienced safely alongside other humans, it can become shared experience, connection and movement.

Maybe that's another teaching of Air.

We breathe the same air.
Sound travels through the space between us.
One voice can change a room.

I'm truly grateful for tonight and for the community we're creating in Tonypandy through sharing sound together. 💙

🌬️ Next Sound & Air Ceremony — 23 October
🌿 1:1 Soniarus Sessions — 23 & 24 October
📍 Ebenezer Arts, Tonypandy

Listen. Notice. Feel. Let it move.
