These feedback cards are so important to me. I don’t get to speak to everyone after a session, so it’s truly great to be able to read these as well as the messages I receive from you afterwards. You sharing your experiences with me help me shape the future of Life Is Sound.
As always I pull one of the feedback cards out of the handpan, to win a free session. ✨
Congrats to Anne, today’s winner. Your email is with you for a sound bath date of your choice.

This was certainly the hottest session I have ever played in but the room was so still. Thank you so much for filling these rooms in the way that you do. 🙏🏼✨

I’m going to make the conscious effort to show up on here a bit more in this way. I’m very aware of how much I have to keep the momentum of posting about events and Life Is Sound offerings but I think it’s important for you to see and feel the human behind it even on the days where I don’t feel the best.
This past week I’ve been fighting a virus and prayed to feel better for The Monastery and that day I woke up and felt slightly better and it was one of my favourite sessions to date.
Recording any content when you’re unwell, tired, drained is a challenge but we often post when we look and feel our best but that is not the human experience so that’s why I’m posting this because we all have the battles and sometimes a message may be more important than how we look or feel. I recorded this yesterday and didn’t post but today we’ve got a f*** it approach, because who actually cares?
That being said my Vitiligo is now spreading under my eye so I’m about to look 50% less tired for life 😂
I have an artistic approach to many things, even pieces on content, creatively wanting things to be close to perfect but to be human is to be imperfect and is this community of Life Is Sound it’s that, that makes it all so special ✨
Last night was an emotional one. Not only could I see it, I could feel it with you. A lot of you were really processing, letting go of something you have been carrying for too long.
This is the power of a sound bath. As sounds baths have become a trend, they can seem like a novelty experience. In a Life Is Sound session, something will shift, wanted or unwanted, you will leave feeling lighter than you entered. ✨
absolutely blew me away last night. The energy was incredible. Truly thank you for allowing us to host our sound baths here. New venue unlocked 😉
Thank you for filling the room the way you do, for your messages, your sharing of your experiences, it really does help deepen this work even further.

I can’t quite believe I’m finally writing this.
For years, I’ve known that one day I wanted to create a Life Is Sound retreat. A full day where you could step away from everything for a while, arrive slowly, be held by sound, rest your body, quieten your mind and leave feeling like something inside you had softened.
And now it’s happening.
Calm For Life is the very first Life Is Sound retreat, held at the beautiful Broughton Sanctuary.
This day has been created for one reason.
To help you slow down.
Really slow down.
Because sometimes you do not need more to do.
You need space.
You need quiet.
You need stillness.
You need your body to soften enough to let go.
You need a day where nothing is pulling on you.
We’ll begin with a slow arrival, a gentle welcome and time in nature before moving into the first sound bath of the day, designed to help you land, soften and drop into deep relaxation.
You’ll receive your own Life Is Sound Daily Wellness Journal to use throughout the day if you choose, followed by lunch prepared by the chefs at Broughton Sanctuary’s Utopia.
In the afternoon, you’ll have access to the spa suite, which I’ve personally used, and honestly, it is unreal. The pool, sauna, steam and stillness of the space feel like somewhere your whole body can finally exhale.
Then we move into the afternoon sound bath, designed differently to take you deeper into rest, release and calm across body, mind and spirit.
To close the day, we gather around the fire pit.
Reflection.
Rest.
Release.
Fire.
Stillness.
Whether you come on your own, with someone you love, or make this a day with a small group of friends, you’ll be welcomed into a calm, grounded and beautiful space.
If you’ve been to a Life Is Sound sound bath before, you’ll know they are powerful. They move you. They hold you. They bring you back to yourself.
This is the first ever Life Is Sound retreat, and I know it is going to be special.
Spaces are limited and payment options available when booking ✨
Comment RETREAT and I’ll send you the details.

This Wednesday we are for the very first time.
As I prepare everything for the evening, I’ve been thinking about the fact this was the very first venue I ever thought about for Life Is Sound and this week we make it happen.
90 minutes of a deeply relaxing sound bath. Let the healing begin, this is going to be a powerful one ✨
If you want an evening of switching off and feeling relaxed in a state of bliss by the end, then come and join us, hit the link in the bio or comment Monastery and I will send you the details.
We have such a wonderful number of you coming a long and lots of space left too ☺️
See you there.
Big Love,
James
