Sound Journeys for Deep Rest

Sound Journeys for Deep Rest Immersive sessions blending yoga nidra, Himalayan brass bowls, gong, shruti & voice—for clarity, presence, and a felt sense of renewal. Hi, I’m Colleen.

I’m Canadian, currently living in Chiang Mai, and—depending on the day—you’ll find me hiking, writing, singing, cycling, or offering sound journeys and yoga nidra sessions to those who need a bit of peace. I’ve trained in a handful of supportive practices over the years, including:
– Thai Massage (2016)
– Hatha Yoga (Rishikesh, 2017)
– Yoga Nidra (UK & Thailand, 2020–2023)
– Reiki Master Level (20

20)
– Sound Healing Arts (Nepal, 2025)
– Death Doula Training (INELDA, 2024)

I also hold an MA from Toronto Metropolitan University, but most of my heart lives far outside the classroom. I first fell in love with Himalayan bowls during Chiang Mai’s burning season, when I took refuge in Nepal and discovered their grounding resonance firsthand (read about it here: https://colleenthornton.com/2025/05/26/open-to-more/). Since then, offering sound and rest practices has become one of my favourite ways to share time and space with others—gentle, meaningful, and never too serious.

With all the buzz about vibration & frequency these days, it's easy to forget that this too is a musical art. 🎶

That the simple sound of one special bowl struck with pure intention can be devastating to the iron ego, the walls we build, the stories we cling to.

I often end my sound journeys and private practice in tears—the kind that are just quietly expressing whatever pain has built up in the background of everyday life. It's normal 😅

This is so much less exhausting that trying to figure it out or fitness it out.

So, if you have a bowl (or 23), play, sing, make music from your heart, and please—share it with the world. ❤️

And if you don't have a bowl, well, let me help connect you with one. 🥰 (https://www.instagram.com/blackcrow.sound/)

And join us every Thursday for a sound journey and we can have a little cry together 😆🥰

My teacher calls a sound bath "the sounds of silence". 🙊

When you're drawn so deeply into the sound and vibration during a sound bowl meditation that the mind goes silent and the body quietly hums.

Nothing takes me into this space of inner silence like my sound bowl & singing practice.

And things—stresses, fears, stories—get "worked out" without having to do anything but follow the sounds.

So I can reconnect with what's beautiful & loving within myself and in others. ❤️

After a month in Nepal, I'm back at Attika starting this Thursday March 26th for sound journeys with Alan Strydom. Three sessions to choose from. DM to save your spot.

INTRODUCING BLACK CROW 🐦‍⬛

I am crossing a threshold into something both new & familiar and would love to have your support.

You follow this page, which means you have been touched by the power of sound bowls—as a musical art, a healing modality, or a beautiful meditation companion.

I am expanding my sound learning journey alongside starting a small collection of carefully selected bowls to connect more people with the power and beauty and joy of sound—a venture I've named Black Crow.

If you're curious, I invite you to follow along with me on this journey on Instagram (.sound).

Thank you so much... I hope to see you there ❤️

Curious about the bowls but not quite ready for a full training?

Come spend a relaxed 90 minutes at Attika Studio exploring brass sound bowls in a playful, hands-on way. Learn how to gently strike and rim them, experiment with using them on the body, and see what sounds (and sensations) you can create.

No formal teaching. No pressure. Just space to try, listen, feel, and have fun.

Open to complete beginners and the simply curious.

Donation-based — give what feels right.

Stay after for coffee and snacks at Attika ☕✨

Come play.

Finally made it to Agape Home to deliver a donation of 5720 THB—the total amount given by people who joined our Christmas Day sound bath. We didn't get to see the kids since they were napping, but I'll definitely be back to visit during playtime 🥰

Thank you to Alan Strydom, Attika Studio, and everyone who contributed:

Nina, Eve-lee, Caiyo, Ruth, Daisy, Cherry, Shylly, Ariel, Cyrielle, & & Raina 🙏🩷

✨Sound & Support for Kids this Christmas✨
A Special Sound Journey this Thursday, Dec. 25th

The holiday season—a time that can feel both full and fragile—is a wonderful time to reconnect yourself.

It is also beautiful time to extend that care outwards to the community, to support people with needs that many of us will never know, and to honour the incredible work of so many open-hearted people.

That's why, in partnership with Attika Studio, we've chosen to hold this week's sound journey to support the children at Agape Home Thailand—an organization that provides love, care, and stability to children living with HIV & AIDS.

100% of the proceeds (and any additional donations) will go directly to Agape.

Watch the story of Agape to learn more (below), and come and join us this Thursday at Attika Studio for a nourishing sound journey.

DM to book your spot!

DETAILS:
Thursday, Dec. 25th 1:30 & 3:00
(each session is 1 hour)
Attika Studio & Cafe on Thapae Road

Donation: 300+ Baht (please give what you can!)
