About Your Practice

These questions are the heart of the application. Take the time they deserve. We are not reading for a polished answer — we are reading for a genuine one.

Question 1

What instrument or form of sacred sound is at the center of your practice?

Please describe both the instrument and your relationship to it — how you experience it, what it opens in you, and why it has your devotion.

Please share something about your practice.

Question 2

How long have you been working with this instrument or practice? How did it find you?

We are interested in the story, not just the timeline.

Please share how your practice found you.

Question 3

If you are applying with a specific interest in the crystal alchemy singing bowls — what draws you to them, and what has stood in the way of deeper access until now?

If the bowls are not your primary instrument, describe what about this space and residency calls to you.

Please answer this question.

Question 4

Have you offered sound sessions, performances, or healing work to others?

If yes: describe the context — formal or informal, the setting, what the experience was like for you and for those who received it. If not yet: describe what you imagine your offering would look and feel like.

Please answer this question.

Question 5

What do you most want to develop during this residency?

Be as specific as you can. Name the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

Please share what you want to develop.
