Founder & lead practitioner · Aloka — Sound Bath House
Graham Slick
Sound ceremonies in Portland since 2019 — in studios, boardrooms, parks and living rooms. The work is always the same: help you arrive somewhere quieter than where you started.
The practice
A lifelong musician before he was a practitioner, Graham draws on rhythm, breath, non-dual philosophy and a room full of instruments to settle a nervous system and return people to themselves.
Crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, harmonium, gong, handpan, frame drum, wave drum, kalimba, Koshi chimes, chakapas, voice. The style is warm rather than solemn. Playful where playfulness serves. Precise underneath.
My sound baths are accessible to all — a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, and at the same time, tones and rhythms for growth and self-discovery.Graham
