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.

LOVE FROM OUR COMMUNITY

I love the Sound Tribe app's variety — there truly is something for every mood. The Daily Reset melts away work stress instantly, and Yoga Nidra is my go-to for quiet evenings. The full moon circles create a real sense of community, and I hope many more people join so we can keep building something beautiful together.

Sound Tribe is my safe space — whether I need rest at the end of the day or calm in the storm. I listen to the sound journeys on the beach to recharge body, mind and spirit, and look forward to the monthly full moon livestream for its deep insights and release. Grateful to Lama Brian and Shannon for creating this gift.

Shannon & Brian are a beautiful synergy of Yin and Yang. Shannon steers the boat with luminous clarity, Brian’s poetic approach to harmony and spirituality is the wind in its sails. The training are a holistic experience, in learning how to listen, communicate with sound and how to interact with silence.

In Shannon and Lama Brian’s presence, I feel grounded - surrounded by peace and ease. As partners in both life and teaching, they embody a composure and equanimity, in everything they share. With Shannon and Lama Brian, I feel - trusted, respected, and supported which inspires me to expand my sound healing practice.

Shannon is incredibly gifted when it comes to playing the alchemy crystal bowls, sharing her teachings in a safe space for you to learn and grow.  Lama Brian’s spiritual teachings are profound, and his music theory is easy to understand.  A rare and beautiful combination.

The experience of the Level 1 weekend opened something up in me that I have never experienced. I just want to thank you as it's very important in our world to have the gifts you offer. I'm so grateful that I got to experience that with you both.

Eliana L, Germany

Aki Sound Studio is incredibly stylish, refined, and a safe space to relax into it. I've never experienced such a large collection of alchemy bowls in one place. The quality of teachings by Lama Brian and Shannon surpasses anything I've found in other trainings - structured, meaningful, and truly valuable.
