Sound Session Design

Design sound sessions that move people deeply. Intuition got you here. Structure takes you further.

4 weeks online · Live sessions with replays available

Where You Are Now

You can feel there's more in your sessions, but you can't access it.

You've done the training. You have your instruments. Maybe you're already guiding sessions.

Either way, something is missing. Not skill, and not heart.

You're working from a template. Or from pure intuition. But not from a story, and not from a real arc.

  • You guess your way through
  • You repeat the same structure
  • You lose direction halfway
  • You hope people feel something

Without structure, every session feels like a risk.

What's Keeping You Stuck

Working intuitively without structure is exactly what's keeping you stuck.

You've heard it everywhere: just trust what comes through.

But in reality, that looks like:

  • Doubting your choices
  • Holding back
  • Staying in familiar patterns

No real build-up. No tension. No release. Not a session people remember.

What's Actually Missing

What you're missing isn't intuition. It's design.

Not more practice. Not more instruments. This: understanding how a session actually works from the inside.

So instead of thinking I hope this works, you know I'm exactly where I need to be.

The Principle

Every session that truly lands follows a story.

A beginning. A build. A point of tension. A release.

And within that, smaller waves. Per instrument. Per transition. Per moment.

When you understand how to create that, you stop guessing.

Designing a sound session with the Storytelling Framework

The Storytelling Framework

The underlying structure behind every session that works.

Not a template. Not something to copy.

A framework you can apply to:

  • Your instruments
  • Your style
  • Your sessions

So it becomes unmistakably yours.

This is where intuition becomes mastery.

What Changed

Four weeks, in their own words.

If building a session feels like a struggle

Everyone she gave a session to mentioned the build-up and the flow.

Before Creating a session was the part I found hardest.
Now Clear, easy, and even fun. I have the confidence to create many more.
"The session design framework made creating a session clear, easy and even fun. Everyone I gave sessions to during and after my exam said they loved the build-up and the flow. It isn't until now that I feel my whole trajectory really comes together."
Dairile

If you lead purely on feeling

She never leaves people stuck in tension at the end anymore.

Before I used to lead purely on intuition.
Now I know which tones sit together, which create tension, and I always bring people home.
"I prepare my sessions differently now. Not just by feeling, but by knowing what works and what to avoid."
L.

On The Framework Itself

The framework is sacred to me.

"It gives me peace during a session. That's my anchor."
"I've printed everything out, put it in a folder. When I prepare a session I sit down with it. That's my ritual."
"It felt like having a mentor on the page."
Joy Rae facilitating a sound session

Recognition

This is for you if

  • You have the instruments and know how to play them safely
  • You don't yet know how to turn what you know into a full session
  • You know how to play, but not how to build a journey

This is not your first step. This is where everything clicks.

Where It Comes From

This is built from 1000+ real sessions.

20years of music
10years of body & nervous system work
8years facilitating together
1000+sessions led

Always observing. Always refining.

Not what should work. But what actually does.

Inside The Module

What happens across the four weeks.

Week 1

You design the session before you touch an instrument

Who are they when they arrive. Where you want them to land. What story you're going to tell.

Week 2

You learn the arc

How to build tension, create movement, and bring it home. The structure that makes a session feel like a journey, not just a collection of sounds.

Week 3

You learn to read the room and stay connected

What to do when something shifts. How to hold the thread without losing yourself.

Week 4

You design and facilitate a complete session

From scratch. In your own way. With your own instruments and your own story.

What You Leave With

You'll leave with a session that works.

  • You prepare every session with intention, not guesswork
  • You know how to build your session from start to finish
  • You feel where you are inside a session, and what's needed next
  • You facilitate at a whole other level

And most importantly: people feel the difference, and they come back.

How It Runs

You don't leave with another certificate. You leave with something that actually works.

  • Four live sessions online
  • Full replays included
  • Your own session, designed and delivered in Week 4
  • A 1:1 feedback call with Joy or Eddie after Week 4
  • Questions welcome after every live session
  • A private community space holding the replays, reflections and assignments

Where This Sits

This is the module where everything you've learned becomes one session.

Sound Session Design is the last of four modules, and it comes last for a reason.

Your voice is steady. You can read what's happening in a body. You know why one sequence supports and another builds tension. Here, all of it becomes a journey you design on purpose, from the first moment to the last.

This framework is what practitioners wish they'd had from day one.

Questions

Before you decide.

Do I need experience?

Yes. This is not for beginners.

Will this work for my type of sessions?

This framework works best for soundbaths, sound journeys, 1:1 sound sessions, yoga and sound sessions, and ceremonial settings. If you're not sure whether it fits what you're creating, reach out and we'll help you out.

Do I need instruments for this training?

Yes. To make the most of this training you need some instruments, though not many. A few singing bowls is already enough.

What if I can't be there live?

Being there live gives you the best experience, but replays are available for every session. Everything also lives in our private community space: replays, reflections, homework assignments, and a place to ask your questions.

Intuition got you here. Structure takes you further.

You know there is more you can give to the people in front of you. This is where you learn how.
