A Final Ceremonial Night at Aloka — Sound Bath House
Celebrating the end of our beloved pop-up chapter (Sept 2, 2025 – Jan 2, 2026)

Four months of candlelight, tears, breakthroughs, and pure magic began on September 2, 2025. They end on January 2, 2026 — with you. One final gathering to let this room sing us out the way it sang us in: completely, tenderly, unapologetically alive.

And...It's a new year! There's magic in the air, start your year with intentions, togetherness, and an openness to renewal.

—————————

• Zest to Nest Yoga w. Song with Valerie Starr — gentle movement interwoven with her luminous voice
• Sacred Song Circle with Birdie & Valerie Starr — gather in a circle and join in harmony
• The Aloka Sound Bath Medley with Graham Slick: Our signature Aloka sound bath with some special appearances from some of the practitioners who helped bring the space to lifel.
• PLUS the rarely-shared sound bath trilogy, offered for the first time:
  → Balloon Bath – percussive cellular waves
  → Tone Resonance – pure overtone healing
  → HRV Breath Bath – live heart-rate coherence tones guiding the breath
• Chai Ceremony — Bring your most intentional mug
• Special Guests: Birdie, Ry, Jason Lasley, Valerie Starr
• Closing celebration: chi machine, intimate ear-muff sound bath tastings, open sharing circle, nourishing snacks, and every last drop of love this space has left to give.

—————————

• The familiar glow of 1607 — candles low, palo santo in the air, your nest already waiting (bring your coziest blanket, journal, or anything you want this room to remember you by)
• Move into Valerie’s Slow Yoga & Song sequence — every pose and note a quiet thank-you to this chapter
• Sing Together with Birdie & Val — we gather in a circle and join in harmony
• Lie back for Graham’s farewell — the fullest expression of The Aloka Sound Bath, layered with all three signature experiences, played like a love letter to every soul who ever rested on these floors
• Sip sip into a Chai Ceremony
• Rise into a soft, celebratory close: chi machine rides, ear-muff sound bath, open circle where every voice is welcome, simple beautiful snacks, hugs that last as long as they need
• Leave when you’re ready — some will slip out quietly, some will stay until the last bowl is packed away. There is no rush tonight.

—————————

• True closure for this sacred pop-up era and everything 2025 held
• Deep nervous-system reset and emotional composting
• Direct remembrance of how loved, seen, and transformed you’ve been here
• Gentle tea lift + grounded nourishment from chai and snacks
• Memories (and probably tears) that will live in your bones forever

Graham Slick — Named Best Sound Bath Experience by Willamette Week’s Best of Portland Readers’ Poll 2025.

A lifelong musician and spirit seeker, Graham has spent the past five years immersed in the world of sound baths, quickly emerging as a master of the form. His background in rhythm, creativity, and spiritual inquiry all converge to shape a style that’s as heart-centered as it is skillful. Expect a passionate, playful, and deeply thoughtful guide who brings warmth, curiosity, and authenticity to every session.

—————————

Valerie Starr — Over 15 years of experience and study in yoga, music, meditation, and facilitation.

Obsessed with learning, growing, expanding, rituals, healing, dancing with light/shadows and yoga. Val loves these because they are all a part of the healing process, a big piece of Val’s creativity, passion, flame, and spirit. She lovs experiencing the capacity in which we can move our bodies and connect with breath as a spirit ritual and moving it outward into the world.

—————————

Birdie — A masterful healer, blends Eastern wisdom and ancestral roots to guide transformative sound immersions, empowering you to unleash your authentic self with radiant joy.

Birdie’s path is one of depth, healing, and intentional presence. With over ten years dedicated to studying Eastern wisdom and integrating it with her ancestral roots, she has embraced the wild, sacred uncertainty of life. Birdie believes that true growth comes from shedding labels and expectations, allowing us to become alchemists of our own lives. Her work is rooted in slow, intentional healing that guides participants to reconnect with their unfiltered selves, finding freedom and joy in the present moment. Helping others rediscover this truth is what lights up her soul and informs her practice every day.

—————————

Jason Lasley — Over a decade of experience working with bodies and sacred plant medicines.

Jason believes that the first step in healing the body is to slow down and quiet the mind so we can actually be in the body. Once we are in the body we can begin to listen and meet the body where it is so that we can give our body what it needs. Whether it's stretching, a walk, water, or a hug.

When we unravel these old patterns and begin to give the body what it is asking for, we can begin to find freedom from pain, whether it's physical or emotional. Over the last 14 years his experience growing medicinal and gourmet mushrooms has further planted his feet in the realms of healing, which is his life's work.

—————————

Ry (they/them) — A sound healer with a passion for sound, nature, and healing the world.

“My whole life I’ve been creating music which has helped me developed an intuitive and personal understanding of how sound can be used to promote healing and wellbeing.” Through years of spiritual exploration, Ry has developed a deep understanding of how sound can be used to shift energy, reduce stress, and promote inner peace. In 2023 Ry completed their training at The Sound Healers Academy and began using my gifts to heal.

“My goal as a sound healer is to create a safe and welcoming space where people of all backgrounds can come to find healing and balance.”

—————————

• Arrive Early — Please arrive 15 minutes early to settle in and receive your tea before the ceremony begins.
• Intentional Mug — Bring your most intentional mug for our Chai Ceremony
• Dress Comfortably — Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Layers are recommended as body temperature may fluctuate.
• Nests — We have 20 mats (if you have a nest you are connected with please feel free to bring your own), pillows, and some blankets and bolsters. Bring your blankets and bolster in case we run out. It can also be grounding to bring a blanket that you have a connection with.
• Stay Cozy — A blanket or shawl will help you stay warm and comfortable, enhancing your experience. We have some blankets but if you have one that you're connected with it may enhance your experience.
• Scents — Strong scents can become a distraction to yourself and others. Please refrain from strong odors (ie. perfumes, colognes, definitely no cucumber melon).
• Stay Hydrated — Bring a water bottle to keep yourself hydrated before and after the session.
• 
  OTHER— Journal for post-journey integration
  — Eye mask or scarf if you prefer darkness
  — Crystals or sacred objects you'd like to place on the altar
  — Open heart and willingness to receive
  And…Readiness to journey inward.
