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.

Next Training Dates To Be Announced

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
