During private or group sound healing sessions, Brian intuitively guides a journey through sound with a variety of gongs, singing bowls, flutes, and more captivating instruments. He collaborates with breathwork facilitators, Qigong teachers, leads cacao offerings, and offers a variety of mineral rich herbal supplements before sessions. As one is immersed in the sound of the gong and in the subtle ethers of the sound bath, we are able to repair and rejuvenate as the cosmic ocean of vibrations wash over us; cleansing, unblocking and freeing us. The functional harmony created by the gong tones allow us to easily drop into an blissful state of relaxation.
Brian
Brian is a lover of Mother Earth with an intention to optimize the human experience. He supports individuals and communities to thrive and feel peace through sound therapy, herbal alchemy and alternative technologies.
He started his professional journey as a mechanical engineer and launched his first business in permaculture design and hemp consultations in 2015. Following his excitement for alternative ways of living he traveled to a variety of off-grid communities around the world and began guiding people on meditative journeys using a hypnagogic light technology with ethereal sounds. These tools and experiences sparked an excitement to dive deeper into the study of ancient ritual, ceremony and sound healing modalities.
He began working with the ancient Egyptian form of herbal alchemy called spagyrics in 2016. Following the teachings of Stephen Harrod Buhner, Brian incorporates Native American practices while harvesting herbs for his extracts. This assures the integrity of the process and supports the plant in preserving its sacred earth energy.
In 2017 he completed a year-long Sacred Earth and Herbalism apprenticeship with Starhawk and Demetra Markis. That same year he completed a gong master training with Dong Conreaux and traveled internationally sharing the medicine of the gong.
Brian launched Sonic Alchemy as a place to unite his sound healing and herbal offerings. The intention is to continue sharing peaceful therapeutic experiences and create high integrity alchemical labs at regenerative communities around the world. He is also helping to birth herbal co-operatives keeping our local herbal apothecaries and herbalists sharing as many fresh, local, vibrant herbs as possible.
He is an accredited teacher of the gentle practice of playing the gong using B Love Sacred Sound Flumies. Private and group classes learning to refine heart centered gong techniques are available in Colorado, New Mexico, and beyond.
