Hello my beautiful friends,
As 2024 winds down, I’ve been reflecting on what an incredible year it’s been—one filled with growth, opportunities, and so many beautiful connections with this amazing community.
But if I’m honest, this year has also been one where I’ve felt the weight of trying to do everything myself. I’ve been struggling with burnout for the whole of this year. I love what I do, and I’m beyond grateful for the success and support I’ve received from so many amazing souls. Yet, I’ve found myself longing for change—for fresh energy, meaningful collaborations, and new ways of bringing my work into the world.
One of the most powerful lessons I’ve learned this year is how much I thrive when collaborating. Working with The Ohm Store has been a true highlight of 2024, reminding me of the magic that happens when creative minds come together. Another highlight was the incredible opportunity to present at the ISTA conference in Sarasota, FL over the weekend of the Fall Equinox. Being part of the International Sound Therapy Association’s amazing conference was such an inspiring experience and reinforced how much I value creating and sharing in community.
At the same time, I’ve still found so much joy in the online sound healing experiences this past year. It’s incredible to facilitate sound for people all over the world—something that’s only possible through these virtual gatherings. The online events have taken on a unique energy, offering something completely different from my in-person events, which keeps them fresh and exciting. I’ve especially loved the community calls within the Sacred Sound Inner Circle. Witnessing the connections and relationships that have blossomed through those calls has been truly inspiring. Sharing space with those who show up regularly has been such a gift—a reminder of the power and support we have together within that community, and a source of deep inspiration for my work.
While online events have allowed me to connect globally, I feel called to create more opportunities for in-person gatherings that deepen those connections and bring our shared energy to life in profound, tangible ways. I’ve been dreaming of doing in-person events on a larger scale than I’ve been able to do before: bold, transformative experiences that go beyond what I’ve done in the past. This includes collaborating on retreats that integrate sound healing with other modalities to foster deep connection and growth, as well as partnering on conferences that unite like-minded individuals from around the world. I envision these events as more than just gatherings—they’ll be immersive experiences where people come together, share energy, and leave feeling renewed, inspired, and empowered. Co-creating these spaces with others who share a passion for healing and transformation during this period of time where energies are shifting so drastically feels incredibly exciting as we move into 2025.
One thing that’s been calling to me for years is recording a new album—a follow-up to 2019's Becoming Light, which was very successful and such a meaningful milestone for me. Over the past few years, I’ve actually started working on a new album several times, but I seem to quickly lose momentum when working on it alone. I’ve come to realize that what I truly desire is the right musical collaborator—someone with a mastery of ambient music production who can not only help bring my vision to life in a way that feels deeply aligned and inspired, but also elevate the project by bringing their own unique mastery and creativity into the process.
Teaching has also been a deeply fulfilling part of my journey this year, offering another way to share my love for sound healing and connect on a deep level with others. All of 2024, my teaching schedule has been completely full, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share my approach to Intuitive Sound Healing with so many incredible students. The demand has been humbling, with a waitlist now extending well over six months. Looking ahead, I’m excited to finally start creating online courses in 2025 to make this work more accessible to more people than I’ve been able to reach in a 1-on-1 setting. I hope these courses will allow more people to explore the unique perspective I’ve acquired within this field. and empower them to integrate sound as a transformative tool in their own lives.
As 2024 comes to a close, I’m filled with gratitude for all of you. Your support, your energy, and your presence make all of this possible. I’m excited to step into 2025 with renewed energy, open to new possibilities, and inviting in deeper connections and collaborations.
Thank you for being such an important part of this journey. I’d love to hear how 2024 has been for you, and what you’re most excited about in 2025. Your reflections a;ways mean so much to me, and I always welcome the opportunity to connect on a deeper level.
Here’s to a bright and beautiful year ahead, filled with inspiration, collaboration, and meaningful growth for us all.
With gratitude and love,
~Ben
