No matter who you are,
you need time & space to rest.
Our mission is to make deep states of relaxation accessible to everyone.
Over the last 10 years, we've shared The Sound Healing Symphony in seven cities and with over 76,000 people. But to keep going, and to go further, we need your help.
On November 6th, we're gathering supporters of Sound Meditation Presents for a night of peace and connection. A sound bath, dinner, a silent auction and more.
Your ticket covers the evening: the sound bath, dinner and dessert. It is not a tax-deductible donation.

The vibe
We encourage you to wear a nice outfit and lay down for a sound bath.
This evening is going to be a blend of beautiful and unpretentious. The view of City Hall from the balcony is gorgeous, and very much to be enjoyed. This space is extraordinary.
Dinner will be nourishing, delightful and served on tea tables that will appear after the sound bath.
Held in rooms like Grace Cathedral, the San Diego Air & Space Museum, the Portland Art Museum and Sweet's Ballroom in Oakland.
Incorporated as a California nonprofit in 2026.
Why now?
For ten years, The Sound Healing Symphony has filled cathedrals, museums, gardens and ballrooms. Over 76,000 people have lain down on the floor with us and rested. And almost all of it has been paid for by ticket sales, now more than $400,000 a year.
Here's what that number doesn't show. Large-scale events are expensive to produce. Venues, sound, transportation and marketing have all gone up, and most of what comes in goes right back out. Our ticket-supported model has reached its limit. Our two directors have been working full time for a fraction of the cost of living in California.
We don't want to stop. We want this to last. That's why we became a nonprofit this year, and that's why we're asking you.
Keep the Symphony going.
Steady, unrestricted support that keeps us in the cities we already serve (San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and New York), pays our team fairly, and gives us a cushion so one slow season doesn't put everything at risk.
Take it nationwide.
Everything above, plus new cities (Denver, Boulder, Austin, Miami, Boston, Washington, DC, Las Vegas and more), Sound & Regulation in K–12 schools, and growing our training program so graduates can carry this work into their own communities.
Launch it all at once.
One transformational gift that would fund our national operations for three to four years.
If we exceed our goals, we are committed to giving back to the community by offering free sound baths as a way to “play it forward” and honor the generosity of our supporters, donors and community.
Every gift moves us toward the first goal. Pledges of any size are welcome, at the event or before it.
