Adrian Ensor

Background:

Adrian is a handpan player, builder and founder of Oasis Sound Sculpture here in Los Angeles. Since first seeing the instrument in 2014, Adrian has been captivated by its unique sound and meditative qualities. Such a powerful and penetrating medium Adrian was able to finally start his collection of instruments in 2016 and immersed himself in playing, and then began building this magical instrument in 2018.

As a builder, Adrian has recognized its hypnotic quality lies in the fact that we are hearing sacred geometry in the sound of each note. As music was always such a large part of his life growing up from song writing to djing, Adrian has realized the handpan opens the door to stillness and presence like nothing else he has encountered.

As a performer and teacher, Adrian aims to create a space where everyone can experience the transformative power of music. Join Adrian in his class to explore relaxation and creativity through the handpan.

Alexi May

ABOUT ALEXI MAY:

Dedicated to holistic wellness, Alexi May guides individuals toward inner harmony through sound healing, yoga, and meditation. Her approach emphasizes empowerment and joy, fostering mindful practices for a balanced life. As a wellness leader, she specializes in guiding individuals toward holistic well-being through the transformative power of loving awareness. Alexi believes in the profound impact of joyful practices, creating spaces where individuals can connect with their authentic selves. This sense of vitality impacts the world around us, helping create a new paradigm rooted in oneness, peace, and health. 

WHY I PRACTICE MEDITATE : 

Alexi found deep healing through sound healing and Kundalini yoga. Meditation provides space to feel, process, and transform emotions and thought patterns. This liminal space allows an alchemical process to unfold, relaxing into expanded states of awareness. Alexi believes in the power of "pause" - taking a breath before we respond to stressful situations. This is where the real practice begins: in our ability to weave the meditation practice into our daily life. Alexi now approaches meditation through a constant practice of awareness and conscious choices, rooted in unconditional love. 

WHY I TEACH MEDITATION: 

Profoundly inspired by the healing powers of sound, Alexi was moved to learn all that she could about the art and science of sound healing and yoga. Neuroscience and music theory encompass Alexi's extensive knowledge through multidisciplinary studies. When her mother's doctor told her she had to have spinal surgery to fix an impinged nerve, she asked Alexi to practice yoga and sound healing with her, to attempt to heal in a holistic way. This method ended up working, and she did not have to have the surgery anymore. This is what opened Alexi's eyes to the profound power of holistic healing, especially seeing it work on a physical level. From there, Alexi dove into studies, multiple trainings, and began teaching others. Alexi's mission is to provide safe space to feel seen, heard, and sacred.
