Integral Chant

Integral Chant

Discourse and life practice within the depth dimensions of living and dying, using Nada Yoga, music, breath, and sacred sound as pathways to presence.

Sacred music, chanting and contemplative sound practice

Sound as a Pathway to Presence

Integral Chant offers concierge services and specially curated practices tailored to the needs of individuals, groups, and organizations.

Through chant, music, dialogue, breath, silence, somatic practice, and contemplative inquiry, participants are invited to explore the deeper dimensions of living, healing, relationship, creativity, and dying.

We are the song that God is singing.

Ways of Entering

Each offering may stand alone or be combined into a personalized practice designed around the needs of the individual or group.

  • Dialogue and confidential conversation
  • Presence and grounded life-path practice
  • Release through expressive practice
  • Healing and nervous-system regulation
  • Silence, mindfulness, and self-inquiry
  • Chant, breath, rhythm, and improvisation

Curated for the Moment

Integral Chant practices are shaped around the context in which they will be used. This may include private work, group experiences, ceremonies, retreats, workshops, organizational gatherings, or contemplative support during significant life transitions.

Practices may include guided conversation, somatic exercises, sacred sound, vocal exploration, breathwork, rhythm instruments, curated playlists, improvisation, meditation, and silence.

Every offering is responsive rather than prescribed. The practice is shaped to support the people, setting, and intention present in the moment.

A Lifelong Practice of Music and Presence

A professional musician, Mark has dedicated himself to the practice of music, spirituality, and somatic disciplines since childhood.

He recently retired from a 30-year clinical psychotherapy practice grounded in transpersonal somatics. His work brings together decades of experience in music, contemplative practice, embodiment, psychotherapy, and human relationship.

Compassionate Presence at the End of Life

Mark is available to sit with individuals, families, and friends before, during, and after the final days and moments of physical existence.

These offerings may include calming guidance, compassionate presence, sacred sound, and music aligned with the individual’s own beliefs, traditions, and cosmology.
