Sound Journey Healing Workshop, Christchurch 2020

Reconnect to source.

All day experiential workshop with Sika.

Sika holds a safe space for us to drop into relaxation, to enter a magical world of sound and silence. A series of healing Sound Journeys throughout the day will invoke a primal memory, a gateway for reconnection to ourselves, to earth and to 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.

Sika has been offering Sound Journeys for 25 years. Based in New Zealand, he is recognised by significant Māori, Native American and Aboriginal elders, including the Yuin tribe of South Australia.

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. Workshop participants will also feel the physical vibration of the didgeridoo, as Sika moves around the space while playing.

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.

Doors open at 10am so we can settle into the space ready for a 10.30am start. We’ll finish at 4pm.
