Learn how the power of sound and breath work together to regulate your autonomic nervous system, activating your vagus nerve and restoring inner balance — so you can experience calm amid stress, improved mental health, optimal physical wellbeing, and greater joy no matter what life brings to your door.
Receive proven approaches and practical tools for healing, grounding, and spiritual growth from the leading edge of the sound-medicine field.
Are you feeling anxious and overwhelmed by all the changes swirling around you and the uncertainty of what lies ahead in today’s fast-paced, high-stress world?
In an environment riddled with adversity and trauma, our autonomic nervous system is easily thrown out of whack. Our sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) responses become dysregulated, often causing disruptions in our mental, emotional, and physical health.
While it’s easy to feel overloaded with no clear direction, sound researcher Joshua Leeds affirms that you can find your way back to safety and peace of mind.
Joshua’s groundbreaking work is founded on the premise that your own voice is one of the most powerful tools you have for self-regulation and nervous system healing — and that using your voice can significantly strengthen the power of your breath.
For thousands of years, ancient wisdom traditions from China, India, and Indigenous cultures have used breath and sound as sacred tools for healing, balance, and spiritual insight.
Modern science and psychology have confirmed that breathwork and its wide variety of potent techniques directly influence the autonomic nervous system, which controls how you respond to stress and how quickly you return to a state of ease.
With his decades of experience, Joshua has authored several books on the science and power of sound, and his specialized soundtracks are used therapeutically in clinics, classrooms, homes, and animal care facilities worldwide. Joshua has taught at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco and the New York Open Center, and conducts seminars virtually and internationally.
When you join Joshua in this insightful and experiential event, you’ll discover that by adding intentional tones, humming, and vocal sounding to breathwork practices, you can stimulate your vagus nerve — shifting you from overdrive to downregulation, where you can return to a sense of safety as your heart and brainwaves relax.
As a specialist in psychoacoustics and bioacoustics, Joshua is uniquely positioned to guide you through sound and breath exercises to set that process in motion.
With this natural pairing of voice and breath, you’ll begin cultivating your own Sound/Breath ToolkitTM — a personalized set of simple practices you can tailor to your unique nervous system to use whenever you need to ground, center, or uplift yourself.
Whether you’re a wellness practitioner, sound healer, psychotherapist, yoga instructor, or biohacker looking for new tools to amplify your practice, or you simply want to learn practical ways to settle yourself into calm amid stress and chaos…
… this workshop fuses the most up-to-date scientific understandings with applicable steps for grounding yourself and radiating that stillness out to the world.
