INTRODUCING

SOUND TRIBE

Sound Tribe is your on-demand sanctuary for sound healing — a place to reconnect, rebalance, and return to The Frequency of You.

In a world overflowing with noise, we offer something different: intentional sound, created with lineage, care, and deep understanding.

Created by Shannon van Staden and Lama Brian Hilliard, Sound Tribe brings the medicine of hundreds of Alchemy Crystal Bowls into your daily life — whether you have five minutes or forty-five, we invite you to explore our growing library of express resets, immersive meditations, contemplations, and insights into sound.

OUR MISSION

A MESSAGE FROM LAMA BRIAN & SHANNON

At AKI, our work is rooted in a simple truth: sound has the power to bring us back into alignment — physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Yet the spaces where deep healing happens are often out of reach. Not everyone can attend a live sound bath, workshop, or training. Not everyone has an alchemy crystal bowl.

Sound Tribe exists to remove that barrier.

It is our way of making the medicine of alchemy crystal sound accessible beyond the studio — without losing depth, integrity, or intention. What once required being in the room is now available wherever you are, meeting you in the quiet moments of your day.

This is not a static library. It’s a living body of work — sound, teachings, and community evolving together and we’re so excited to have you here.

TESTIMONIALS

“Shannon and Brian are a beautiful synergy of Yin and Yang, both individually and with each other. Where Shannon steers the boat with her luminous clarity in how she teaches and plays the alchemy crystal bowls, Brian’s poetic approach to harmony and spirituality is the wind in its sails. Studying with them is a holistic experience, not only in learning how to play the crystal bowls but in learning how to listen, how to communicate with sound and how to interact with silence.”

Anna F, Italy

“In Shannon and Lama Brian’s presence, I feel immediately grounded — surrounded by a quality of peace and ease that feels effortless. As partners in both life and teaching, they embody a composure and equanimity, shaped by lives lived fully beyond their devotion to teaching, and this depth infuses everything they share. With Shannon and Lama Brian, I feel in truly good hands — trusted, respected, and supported with a confidence that inspires me to expand my relationship to my sound healing practice.”

“Shannon is incredibly gifted when it comes to playing and teaching about the alchemy crystal bowls. She is able to provide a safe space for you to learn and grow.  Lama Brian’s spiritual teachings are profound and effortless, and his sound healing sessions bring you into a deep state of relaxation.  I highly recommend anyone who is interested in connecting with the magic of the alchemy crystal bowls to join this beautiful community created by Shannon and Lama Brian at Aki Sound Studio.”
