Sound & Plant Medicine Journey

Announcing two upcoming dates in Topanga, Ca:

August 1st & August 29th, 2026 ✺ 3pm-10pm

Facilitated by Christina Issa

A deep-listening sound experience held in the Topanga mountains.

This is your invitation to slow down, go inward and attune to the subtler aspects within you, while held safely in a ceremonial container. In a noisy world that fragments our energy and attention outward, focusing with inward presence and compassion is an act of rebellious self-love.

The Sound Journey

A sound journey — a.k.a sound meditation— is a sonic tapestry woven intentionally to anchor your inner exploratory journey. In a ceremonial setting, you are guided by the intelligence of ancient plant medicine, music and live sound vibrations that lead you back into the body, heart and soul.

We work with overtone-emitting instruments — Tibetan singing bowls, gong, chimes, and more — with Christina's ceremonial live singing and mantra, layering rich harmonics and sacred sound. This helps you drop deeper into the conscious body to shift your own internal rhythms - from neurochemistry and nervous system, to the subtle energies within. From this altered state, curiosities are met with new eyes and habitual mental patterns loosen making space for new possibilities. With heightened awareness, you become a direct channel for your own inner transformation.

In a sound journey you are tapping into your body’s innate capacity for deep listening, self-awareness, healing and expansive consciousness. From that sacred space, you rediscover your inherent power to shape your lived reality from the inside-out.

This journey is one through sound and silence, with insights that arise from that sacred place beyond mind - ebbing and flowing between activation and stillness, guided by harmonics and healing frequencies. Perhaps even meeting parts of yourself that you've yet to discover. What might you hear the soul say when you finally put distance between you and the mind? And who is the ‘You’ that is listening?

The Flow

After a brief welcome talk, we open ceremony with some guided breath-work and a vocal toning activation — connecting to your own voice, releasing through group harmonization. This helps to move the body out of fight-or-flight and into a relaxed state of awareness. Then we flow into approximately 5 hours of guided sound and music. Afterwards: a nourishing meal and beverages, a reflection circle to share what feels necessary, and light connection before departure.

The exchange: $375

"I had heard of sound healing but had no real idea how a medicine journey worked in a 5 hour session. I was navigating a really difficult time in my life and big identity shifts after grief and loss. A friend recommended this and I took the leap to do an extended one-on-one private with Christina and her co-facilitator. All I can say is I have never experienced something like this. The way she created a safe space that let me explore what had been suppressed, and to connect with music so deeply while feeling safe to feel my pain for the first time in ages. Her dedication to the work and helping others is so obvious. I am so ready to experience that again. t’s not something to understand with the mind, you just have to surrender to the experience of it to feel the medicine Christina carries inside, and how she is living her purpose. Now I know why they tend to call it that.

"I have sat in a variety of medicine and sound journeys but never tried vocal embodiment work. Having grown up with deeply emotionally unavailable parents, and being somewhat avoidant, I have struggled to speak up and connect to my own voice and needs for a long time - afraid of saying the wrong thing and being rejected for it. After a series of sessions with Christina I was blown away at how natural it can feel to express and be more bold, and how the process of just using our voices can change our entire outlook on things. I feel inspired to make deep changes and put myself out there in profound ways - I could not thank Christina or recommend her enough.”

Sitting with Christina was one of the most impactful medicine journeys I've experienced, and I've been deeply immersed in plant medicine work for several years. As someone who teaches spiritual work and facilitates healing professionally, I'm incredibly discerning about who I choose to sit with. Christina created such a safe, masterfully held field for me to move through the deepest layers of grief and release around a past relationship. In that space, I found profound clarity about the kind of love I truly deserve and am calling into this lifetime.

Christina's sound and vocal work is nothing short of extraordinary. It opened my heart in a way I haven't experienced in any other medicine space and facilitated a level of healing that I'll carry with me for a long time.

I truly can't recommend sitting with Christina enough. Her presence, integrity, and devotion to this work are exceptional, and I would trust her with my heart again and again”
