Sound experiences

Not performance.
Presence.

I create intimate sound experiences with singing bowls, drum, gong, and voice—spaces where the nervous system can soften and your own knowing can be heard.

Each gathering is shaped with care. Some are gentle and still. Others invite breath, sound, and the untamed voice. Nothing is required beyond your willingness to arrive as you are.

REMEMBRANCE

About Julie

“The work is not to become someone new. It is to hear what has always been yours.”

I’m Julie Kalua, creator of sound experiences and meaningful gatherings. I work with singing bowls, gong, drum, breath, and presence to create spaces where people can listen beneath the noise.

I also curate Julie Presents, a live event series at East West Bookshop that brings trusted teachers, authors, and practitioners into genuine conversation with the Bay Area community.

Crystal, color
and sound.

The illuminated amethyst is part of the atmosphere surrounding select sound experiences at East West Bookshop. This close detail captures its color and presence without standing in for the room itself.
