Healing Sounds of the Universe w/Throat Singer Matthew Kocel & Ruby Koa

As the autumn season invites us inward, this event offers a sacred opportunity to reconnect with your inner wisdom and replenish your energy.

Whether you seek deep restoration, heightened clarity, or a profound sense of connection, this journey through sound invites you to surrender into the embrace of vibration and stillness.

Together, Ruby and Matthew create a dynamic interplay of masculine and feminine energy, offering a field of harmony that supports balance within yourself.

The combination of Ruby’s planetary gongs and Matthew’s surreal voice and cosmic throat singing is profoundly powerful—creating waves of sound that reach deep into the body, mind, and spirit.

The effect is often compared to plant medicines.

Imagine floating in an ocean of sacred sound… vibration so profound it seems to bend the very fabric of time and space.

“Matthew Kocel’s music is so primal, so rich and brilliantly soulful... It touches us on a profoundly deep level and opens our hearts." – Dr. Joe Dispenza

Waking dreams, “aha” moments, extraordinary sensations, and physical healing are commonly reported by people attending Matthew’s events.

His voice resonates to the core of your being—it’s hard to imagine these tones come from a human.

“Words seem so deficient for explaining the depth of experience... I was being moved by sound, my whole body was light and vibrating.” – Vancouver Yoga Review

We will also be joined by intuitive energy work practitioner Saralee Sky, who will offer gentle energetic support to the group during the event, enhancing the experience with Reiki and other healing modalities.
