Announcing two upcoming dates in Topanga, Ca:

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

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

This is your invitation to slow down, go inward and attune to the subtler energetic aspects within you, while held in a ceremonial container.

The Sound Journey

A sound journey - also known as sound meditation - is a sonic tapestry woven intentionally to anchor your inner exploratory processes. How often do you get to truly melt into the sacredness of finding stillness with sound?

Through the intelligence of sound vibration and plant medicine, you're brought back into the body — attuning to and reconnecting with yourself, and meeting parts of yourself you've yet to discover.

Discover your own innate capacity for deep listening and expansive consciousness — navigating sound and silence, and feeling your power to shape your own reality from that sacred inner space. The journey weaves overtone-emitting instruments — Tibetan singing bowls, gong, chimes, and more — with Christina's ceremonial live singing, layering in rich harmonics that shift the body's internal rhythms: neurochemistry, nervous system, subtle energy. Healing frequencies draw you deeper into stillness and feeling, reconnecting with the emotional and spiritual body. In this altered state of consciousness, habitual mental patterns loosen, making space for new possibilities. From a place of heightened awareness, you become a direct channel for your own living transformation.

The flow

After a brief welcome talk, we open ceremony with guided breath and vocal toning — connecting to your own voice, releasing through group harmonization. Then we flow into approximately 5 hours of guided sound and music. Afterwards: a nourishing meal and beverages, a reflections circle to share what feels necessary, and light connection before departure.

"I had heard of sound healing but had no idea how it would be with medicine 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”
