Now Customizing and Personalizing to Meet Your Needs

Celestial Sound Bites: February 2025 edition

Celestial Sound Mission: To offer accessible and affordable good vibes to catalyze your optimal health and wholeness.

A Peak Behind the Curtain

Have you noticed new and different offerings emerging from Celestial Sound? That’s because behind the scenes I’ve been happily creating and nurturing new partnerships and receiving cool opportunities! Through my NEW Sound Practitioners Network connections, I am now partnered with Melissa (Soul Sound) for a few months of Full Moon Sound Sessions. Additionally, a group of four of us are joining together as Energy Sound Collective to offer an EPIC event Feb. 7th (see below). AND, thanks to an unexpected but fortunate introduction to Kaitlyn of Sacred Healing Massage and Bodywork, I’m grateful to be invited to play gongs at her Mini-Retreat (Jan. 24-25). I’ve had the honor of partnering with the ADRC in the past, but coming this spring I will be co-teaching a course called Brain Enrichment! (open to the public). Look for that as well as a few gong bath meditations at the ADRC in coming months. Finally, meeting Karen Stoehr from 9th Street Wellness Center East has led to the inquiry, “What if I held a few events there?” She was all for it! So look for opportunities for larger group sessions there as we test drive those.

Beyond ALL of this, I also have a few distinct goals for 2025: 1) Offer a more customer friendly booking. experience. 2) Expand offerings to meet more customers’ needs. 3) Continue to grow my business.

Goal 1: I’m excited to say that very soon customers will be able to book classes, individual sessions and for hire sessions online using Vagaro. Credit cards will be accepted too. I’m still working with the good team from Rogue Wave in Appleton to make this dream a reality. Coming soon. . . very soon. (If needed, why not create your free account now at Vagaro.com?)

Goal 2: As of January, Individual Sound Sessions are available most Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 9 AM – 1 PM. I’ve created a few ways for you to access these: simply book a single session OR, if you really want to treat yourself to gong-maintenance, buy a package. To make it easy and affordable to combine two private options, I’ve created a package that pairs a single individual session with a Book Me for Friends and Family.

Goal 3: I’ve so enjoyed meeting every one of my customers. I love hearing your stories of transformation, connection, and healing. These experiences deepen my belief in the power of the gongs and the importance of my mission. So, it is quite understandable that I wish to grow my business. In this spirit, I am making a concerted effort to spread the word about Celestial Sound through multiple social media platforms, community calendars, and wonderful partnerships. I’m particularly excited about my new YouTube Channel (youtube.com/@brendabrayko) introducing upcoming events and myself and the gongs to the “sound curious”. It’s becoming easier and easier to discover events and share with your friends and co-workers. Like, follow, and join Celestial Sound on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. As always, you can receive weekly texts with upcoming events/offerings reminders or join the Birthday Rewards for free. And, of course, be sure you are on the mailing list for Celestial Sound Bites.

Personalize and Customize at Celestial Sound

If you’ve never experienced the power and beauty of the gongs before or if you are an avid seeker of therapeutic sound, why not consider how you might best be served by Celestial Sound. Are you looking for a group experience, private experience or the safety of a shared experience with friends or co-workers? Do you want to spend wisely? Or is regular self-care of utmost importance? Check out the questions and answers below to customize and personal your experience. And if there is something I’m NOT offering that you’d like offered, please let me know.

What if I prefer a more intimate group experiences?

A: Look for any smaller group gong class held at any of these locations: Celestial Sound or American Shaman (8 max). Light Minded People, Mindful Reiki and Meditation (11 max). Events at these locations often run with a minimum of four people.

What if I prefer large group experiences with the gongs?

A: Come to events at the Botanical Garden (40 max) or 9th Street Wellness (20 max). Note that in the warmer months we are sometimes outside at the Garden (30 max)

What if I feel most comfortable with people I know?

A: For a $50 deposit you can Book Me for Friends and Family at your place or Celestial Sound. Just go to the For Hire calendar and look for the For Hire availability. Truly personalize your experience with this FORM to let Brenda know how to make it special for your guests.

What if I’d like to share the gongs with my work/school community?

A: I love serving workplace and school communities. Use the For Hire calendar to see availability. Connect me to your Wellness Coordinator and we can take it from there.

What if I have something personal I’d like to work through?

A: Book an Individual Session. With heart and compassion, I will listen to you and help you formulate a specific intention to hold as you are nurtured by the embrace of the gongs. I will send you the session notes and your intention to keep.

What if I need a bargain?

A: Bargain options include: Lunchtime Gong ($15), Caregivers’ Oasis ($15) and Two for One Gong Meditation (2 ppl/$25), Botanical Garden ($13 – $16). To save money on Individual Sound Sessions, buy a package of five 40-minute sessions for $175, a $25 savings. Also, I now have punchcards available when you attend a gong meditation. Five punches will get you $20 off an individual sound session.

What if I’d like regular therapeutic sound sessions, say, once a month or once a week?

A: Many offerings are offered each month at the same time and location. Individual sessions can be scheduled weekly or monthly.

Introducing Sound Energy Collective

Friday, February 7, Sound Energy Collective will offer its first sound session to up to twenty participants at Bay Area Yoga Center. But who is Sound Energy Collective and how did this come about?

Sound Energy Collective is the name of four women eager to offer sound energy and vibration events to the public. We are comprised of Melissa Proski (Soul Sounds), Brenda Brayko (Celestial Sound), Rachel Champion (Champion Wellness and Beauty) and Karen Simcik (Yoga Sound Garden).

Credit Melissa Proski of Sound Souls for assembling four sound practitioners with the intent of running an all-night sound experience in October of 2024. While we were saddened that we didn’t meet our minimum number of participants for that event, we committed to trying again!

Voilà! Reserve your spot and join Sound Energy Collective for this immersive, relaxing experience where you will be surrounded by soothing sounds of gongs, bowls, chimes, drums and more to rebalance your mind, body, and spirit. Two and a half hours of bliss! Spread the word.
