In Practice: Day Retreat for Sound Practitioners
Saturday, March 28th, 2026 10am-6pm
Private Residence in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, California
A one-day retreat experience to deepen your sound practice
In Practice is a one-day sound immersion designed for practitioners and those seeking to deepen their relationship with sound. Part learning, part retreat, this intimate experience blends guided sound journeys, embodied practice, and spacious integration—creating time to refine your listening, presence, and intentional sharing of sound.
Spend a day in deep presence with yourself and sound, coming back into the right relationship with sound in your own body, nervous system, and inner world.
Held in a beautiful private residence in the Hollywood Hills, In Practice offers a grounded, retreat-style container within the city—ideal for slowing down, tuning in, and practicing alongside like-minded practitioners.
What You’ll Experience
Throughout the day, we’ll weave together:
Guided sound journeys and immersive listening practices
Embodied learning and skill integration
Gentle opportunities for feedback and reflection
Spacious rest, nourishment, and community connection
You’ll have the chance to receive thoughtful feedback from Bella in a supportive, non-performative environment—designed to help refine and practice your skills and offerings as a facilitator.
