A guided sonic experience to honor the sacred moments that matter most
For meaningful gatherings that call for a simple, beautiful way to mark the moment.
Are you planning a wedding, a baby moon, a weekend retreat?
You may have already been dreaming of this time away for weeks, maybe months.
And you want more than just another meal, hike, or hangout.
You want a space to simply be, to breathe, and to truly connect.
This is where I come in.
I create bespoke sound ceremonies for intimate gatherings and retreats in the Hudson Valley and surrounding area. Whether you're celebrating love, preparing to bring life into the world, or holding a special retreat, I craft a space where each person in the group can rest, recalibrate, and root into what matters most.
This Offering is For You If...
You’re traveling for a special gathering—wedding, baby moon, bachelorette, family circle, wellness retreat—and want something meaningful and beautiful to mark the occasion.
You’ve done the wine tastings, the spa visits—but want something more intentional and nourishing.
You crave a shared experience that connects you with the ones you’ve come with, without having to “perform” or plan one more thing.
What You Might Be Feeling:
You don’t want to waste your precious time or money on something that feels fluffy or forced.
You’re craving something real—something that feels grounded, not performative or superficial.
You want to feel closer to the people you came with, but everyone has different energies and needs—and that feels hard to navigate.
We pour so much time, money, and intention into gathering our people—but it’s still possible to leave the weekend feeling… tired, disconnected.
As if the “real moment” never quite happened.
This offering is designed to be that moment.
The one you’ll remember.
The one that grounds the entire weekend.
The one where everyone comes back to center, together.
In this experience, you’ll receive:
A deeply restorative sonic ritual tailored to your group and the intention of your gathering.
Time to rest, recalibrate, and release—no pressure to perform or produce.
A sense of peace and connection with your own body, your people, and the natural world around you.
A sacred way to mark a threshold moment—whether it’s the start of a marriage, the expansion into parenthood, or the gift of reunion.

“I feel so much lightness and ease in my body and mind right now and it’s because of you! Elana’s music was like candy for my energy body. Hearing and feeling such beautiful sound waves was so moving. I feel so light and grounded at the same time. Giddy and present.”
“You provided us with such a magical experience. I loved the way the sounds had so many layers and different qualities. When I checked my Oura ring this morning to see how I slept, my heart rate lowered to 46 last night, the lowest it’s been in a very long time!
And I had 2 hours of REM and almost 90 mins of deep sleep. It was the best quality sleep I’ve had in a long time, and I bet it was due to the restorative effects of your sound bath experience! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us!”
About Me
Hi, I’m Elana.
A poet, sound practitioner and ritualist. I guide people through the tender terrain of life’s thresholds—birthdays, losses, unions, transformations—through the healing power of sound.
I have spent decades immersed in the creative and healing arts. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Sarah Lawrence, and a certification in Sound and Music Integration from the New York Open Center. I’ve led sound journeys for intimate circles and large groups alike—from Columbia University to The Shift Network. I currently teach poetry at Juilliard and sing with the Resistance Revival Chorus, a collective of women and non-binary artists using music to spark joy and social change.
More than anything, I’m devoted to creating spaces where we can drop in together, soften, and listen. Whether we’re celebrating your becoming, grieving what was, or simply honoring the beauty of the moment—I’m here to help.
Between client calls, motherhood duties, and playing my instruments you can find me swimming in the beautiful local rivers.

FAQ
How long will the experience last?
Most sound rituals are between 60–75 minutes, but I’ll tailor it to your group’s needs. Time can also vary depending on add-ons.
Can anything be added to the sound bath?
Yes. I offer optional add-ons like a blessing or intention ritual, poetry, or nature-based ritual components. Once we have our consultation call and I have a better sense of what the event is and your desired outcome, I can recommend any add-ons that I think would best serve you and your group.
