Sound • Meditation • Energy

Winter 2026

Begins December 1, 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.

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 in 2022, 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.

This training is 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

Lets Work This Path Together

  • —Rachel

    “Raquel made me realize and see things in myself that I could not see. I dimmed my light a lot over the past two years and I feel like I am being reborn again. Although vulnerability can sometimes be tricky. I felt more comfortable within it and in this space. Thank you.”
