Sound • Meditation • Energy
Fall 2026
Begins October 6, 2026
Hybrid In-Person + Virtual Modules
Your journey with sound & meditation
GO INWARD
Level 1 is designed to bring you back into relationship with your own body, breath, and inner awareness — using sound, meditation, and energy practices as the pathway inward.
THE LISTENING PATH
You will learn what it means to truly listen. Rooted in the L.I.S.T.E.N. Method, this experience develops your inner sensitivity through sound, meditation, and subtle body awareness.
SOUND AS YOUR GUIDE
This training is for those who want to go deeper. Beyond the instrument, beyond the technique — into a real understanding of how sound works, why it works, and how to use it with intention and integrity.

Your journey with guiding others
HOLD SPACE
This is where your inner work becomes a gift for others. You will learn what it truly means to hold space with the kind of grounded confidence that only comes from doing your own deep work first.
GUIDE WITH DEPTH
This goes beyond playing the instrument. Refine how you guide others through sound, subtle body, and meditation experiences in a way that is intentional, authentic, and transformative.
YOUR FACILITATION PATH
There is no one way to facilitate. Discover your own voice, your own rhythm, and your own way of holding space. Leave with the tools to begin in a way that is uniquely yours..

Hi I'm Raquel
Yoga/Meditation Educator. Wellness Visionary. Retreat curator.
Fifteen years in wellness facilitation — from yoga to meditation to sound. My deepest transformation came when I received my certification as a Trauma Informed Sound Meditation Facilitator, and I have been deepening this work ever since.
I believe sound is one of the oldest forms of healing we have. Long before there were words for it, our ancestors used vibration, rhythm, and voice to restore the body, quiet the mind, and reconnect to something deeper.
I created the L.I.S.T.E.N Method because I wanted to offer something that went beyond instruments and technique — a training rooted in real practice, embodied experience, and the kind of self awareness that makes you a facilitator people can truly trust.
I am honored to walk this path with you
