Mark Clem has spent a lifetime following sound.
More than 25 years ago, Mark started out with just a guitar and a tape machine. That simple beginning grew into a career in music production, recording, and performing with artists like Macklemore, Fleet Foxes, Phil Ek, Alan White, Blake Lewis, BT, Rick Parashar, Aaron Sprinkle, and others. Earlier, Mark earned a Bachelor of Arts, focusing on large-format photography and fiber arts. His free-form embroidery explored texture, pattern, and the expressive power of subtle details. These early influences still shape how he relates to sound today.
While living in Seattle, Mark composed music for modern dance. This creative path led him to meet his wife, Amy, and helped him see music as something you can feel and experience in your body.
In 2014, Mark and Amy left Seattle and moved to the remote Coast Range of Oregon. There, they started a quieter life, more connected to nature and shaped by listening. On their 15-acre permaculture farm, surrounded by gardens, edible plants, shrubs, vines, and trees, Mark’s connection to sound grew beyond music. He began to notice the rhythms and intelligence of the natural world.
In 2017, everything changed. Mark first encountered the gong, and its raw, immersive, and unpredictable sound showed him a new way to experience vibration, intention, and improvisation. Singing bowls came later and added more variety, but the gong was the real turning point.
Sonic Journey was born from that moment.
Along the way, Mark has learned from respected gong teachers and sound healers such as Don Conreaux, Richard Rudis, Methab Benton, Mike Tamburo, and Mitch Nur. Each teacher has helped him see sound as both an art and a practice, deepening his understanding of vibration, intention, and the subtle ways sound can support healing and transformation.
Today, Mark creates immersive sound meditation experiences with gongs, crystal singing bowls, and a growing collection of resonant instruments. His sessions focus less on performance and more on presence. In these spaces, sound guides people into stillness, release, and reconnection. Each journey is shaped by his years in the studio and by the subtle patterns of the natural world around him. Every session unfolds naturally, with layers, textures, and a sense of life.
Mark offers monthly events in Corvallis, Albany, Salem, and Newport. He also brings Sonic Journey to corporate wellness programs. When he isn’t leading sessions, Mark writes and produces music as The Felt Crush from his studio in the forest.
No two journeys are the same, but each one invites you to listen more deeply—to sound, to your body, and to the living world within and around us.
***We can provide either a zero gravity chair or a two-inch matt with a leg bolster. Please bring nesting items such as a pillow, water bottle, eye mask, blankets, or anything else you need to feel comfortable.

Discover Ayurveda, an ancient approach to balancing your body, mind, and spirit. Originating in India more than 5,000 years ago, Ayurveda uses food, daily habits, and natural routines to promote health.
This workshop focuses on the Autumn season and looks at how to adapt to seasonal changes, manage daily stress, and use stones and crystals to balance the three Ayurvedic doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. You will also learn how to harmonize your chakras and support your well-being as part of a holistic lifestyle.

Saturday, September 26th, 9 - 10:30 am
Emily Rose Meredith, with more than ten years of experience in astrology, Human Design, hypnosis, and breathwork, will guide you through one of the clearest ways to understand how you are meant to move through life: your Profile.
Your Profile influences how you attract both romantic and platonic relationships, find jobs and career opportunities, and the role you naturally take in your community. Emily Rose’s approach helps you understand how to work with your natural energy and connect with others.
What This Session Covers: In this class, you’ll learn what your Profile is, how to find it in your chart, and how to start using it as a guide for three key areas of your life:
Relationships. How your Profile influences the way you connect with romantic partners, what you need to feel safe and seen, and the patterns that tend to show up in your closest bonds.
Work. Discover which roles and environments truly support you, and how your Profile can guide you toward work that feels right for you instead of something you have to force.
Community. Learn about the part you play among those around you, and how understanding this can make it easier to contribute and feel like you belong.
By the end of the class, you’ll understand your Profile and have practical language to describe the roles you play in your relationships, work, and community.
This Is For You If...
You're curious about your patterns and want to understand more about the roles you take on with the people closest to you.
You're new to Human Design and are looking for a approachable and accessible starting point.
You want to explore your natural strengths and how they fit into relationships, work, and community.
You'll leave with:
Your personal Human Design chart, calculated from your own birth details
Clarity on how you learn best, through deep research, trial and error, or stepping back into solitude
A better understanding of the gap between how you see yourself and how others experience you
A clear sense of the role you're naturally here to play, and how to use it day to day
Tuesday, September 29th, 7 pm - 8:30 pm
When we talk about the heart, we can see it as the home of the soul, where we feel love, joy, and a sense of spiritual connection.
But in today’s busy world, we often lose touch with ourselves.
Kirtan helps us reconnect. By singing mantras together and practicing Bhakti yoga, we open our hearts and calm our minds. The shared sound, breath, and rhythm bring us back to the present, relax our bodies, and let us truly rest.
Mantras can help us reach higher states of awareness, where we can find our natural sense of joy, harmony, and love. It’s an ancient tradition shared by wise teachers and spiritual leaders for thousands of years.
Many ancient and indigenous cultures use sound and vibration to heal.
With Prema’s forty-five years of mantra experience and dedication to this practice, along with your openness and trust in your ability to heal, we can create the change you are looking for.
Come join us for an evening of mantra meditation, storytelling, and chanting with Prema Mayi, a Bhakti yoga practitioner and musician who has spent 48 years living and learning in India, France, and Spain.
Participants are encouraged to bring yoga mats, wear comfortable clothing, and bring nesting materials for laying/sitting.
Tuesday, October 6th, 7pm-8:30pm
Part One
The Liberation Journey
The evening begins with a 9D Breathwork journey, experienced lying comfortably on the floor with headphones and an eye mask. A deeply immersive soundscape combines intentional breathing with guided coaching, visualization, and sound-based techniques to create an experience that invites you to turn inward and explore the patterns and stories that have shaped you.
The journey explores survival, self-trust, personal agency, and liberation. Some of the patterns we developed once helped protect us, but may no longer serve the person we are becoming.
Through the breath and immersive sound experience, you'll be invited to connect with emotion, look at the past from a different perspective, reclaim your voice, and create space for what comes next. Rather than trying to change or fix anything, this is an invitation to experience yourself differently.
Liberation is for anyone who is ready to stop being defined by what came before and begin creating space for what comes next.
Part Two
Reiki Sound Bath With Alexa Jett
Following the Breathwork journey, Alexa Jett will guide you into a deeply restorative Reiki Sound Bath, using crystal singing bowls and other sound instruments while infusing the experience with Reiki energy. Alexa is a Reiki Master in the Usui/Holy Fire III tradition and a certified sound healer, and her sound-bath practice weaves Reiki with the vibrational tones of crystal singing bowls to support deep relaxation, grounding, and energetic balance.
Within the crystal-filled environment of Soulful, the sound bath becomes an opportunity to simply stop doing and receive. After the active experience of the Breathwork, the sounds, vibrations, Reiki energy, and surrounding presence of the crystals create a spacious environment for rest, reflection, and integration.
The intention you bring into the room becomes part of your experience. The crystals, the breath, the sound, and the energy of the space provide a beautiful backdrop for that intention to unfold.

Wednesday, October 7th, 7pm-9pm
Samhain signals the shift from harvest time into the darker part of the year, when the boundary between worlds grows thin. Brooms have always played a role in this season. People use them to sweep away old energy, mark thresholds, and make space for endings and new beginnings. Making your own broom by hand connects you to this tradition of protecting and clearing your home when the veil is thin. It is a special time to reach out to the divine and your ancestors for support. The twigs you gather, the herbs you add, and the ribbon you pick all become part of a tool made just for this season.
Every material in this workshop is sourced with care, from small growers and ethical suppliers chosen for how they were grown and gathered, alongside how they will look on your altar or in your home.
Your Registration Includes:
A guided broom-making experience where you will walk away with a custom 28" besom
All the materials you need to build and decorate your broom
Materials You'll Use
Sweet Huck and Natural Birch Twigs for your bristles
10+ varieties of premium dried herbs and botanicals to choose from
7+ velvet-frayed premium ribbon options to choose from alongside your twine to bind everything together
Handmade Vintage Indian Tin Bells
An assortment of ethically sourced feathers
You might know Emily from her Human Design classes and moon ceremonies at Soulful. Beyond her teaching, she has devoted thirteen years to exploring magick: casting wards, gridding her home, creating altars, and crafting spells. Her passion for design and deep dedication to magick have come together in this workshop, a thoughtful practice crafted especially for the Samhain season.
Emily Rose rarely offers group crafting sessions, so this is a special chance to join her personal practice. Registration is non-refundable, as materials and space are prepared for each participant.
Sunday, October 18th, 9am-11am

Cultivating Self Love: The art of coming back to yourself
How can we begin to cultivate more compassion and forgiveness for ourselves for what we had to do to survive so we can move forward with more courage and willingness to be where we are? Self love is about being honest with yourself even if it feels incredibly uncomfortable.
Appreciating all the parts of yourself so you can experience gratitude authentically. This allows you more capacity to receive love in your life because you're no longer rejecting and resisting the parts you don't like about yourself.
Self love is not just about rainbows and roses either. It's about how real you can get with yourself. How raw and honest you can be about where you are and how you feel in every moment of your life. It's about honoring yourself even when it may not be in agreement with others.
We'll explore this together in this talk and come out the other side with a deeper understanding as to what self love really feels and looks like for you.
