Listening Inward: A Story‑Led Soundbath

Across cultures and eras, stories have been used to point us back to what matters most. This soundbath weaves gentle storytelling with live music - harmonium, flute, crystal bowls, and voice -to create a calming, contemplative journey.

Drawing on ancient poetic narratives, this immersive experience blends harmonium, crystal bowls, flute, and gentle voice to create a space for deep listening and reflection.

From a young age, Smita was drawn to music as a means for reflection and self-expression. During her music studies at university, she was introduced to taonga pūoro, and this sparked a personal journey of reconnection to te ao Māori and her own whakapapa. Following university, she lived in an ashram for several years where she was introduced to the wonderful practice of bhakti yoga. She now lives with her husband in the Wellington region, where they regularly participate in kirtan (mantra music meditation) at Bhakti Lounge.

Alexandra is a sound healing practitioner devoted to nurturing healing in both mind and body. She believes that sound vibration holds the power to expand consciousness and restore harmony and balance in our lives. Her journey into sound healing began with the realization of how deeply sound vibration was affecting her psyche—making her more mindful of the music she listens to and the intention it carries. Along the way, she has drawn inspiration from artists such as Deva Premal, The Flying Mystics, Stevin McNamara, and the Bhakti Lounge Kirtan. Their music has profoundly influenced her own sound healing practice, inspiring her to explore sound as a tool for transformation, connection, and inner peace.
