Science based sound energy therapy, research, brain entrainment programming, and pedagogies for wellness.

I utilize the power of pure nature recordings, pure tones, medicinal music, indigenous healing arts, harmonic instrument tuning, sonic/sacred geometry, light/heat therapy, TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), 5 Element System Qi Gong, brain/body entrainment, and meditation for wellness.

Meditative Music at the CSO

Step onto the legendary stage of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for a rare and deeply restorative experience. Meditative Music: Sound Healing with Shannon Harris invites you into an immersive sound bath designed to realign the mind, body and spirit.

Led by acclaimed sound practitioner and wellness innovator Shannon Harris, this evening blends ancient healing traditions with cutting-edge sonic science. Through his proprietary Audio Pharmacology™ method, Shannon harnesses the transformative power of vibrational frequencies to calm the nervous system, restore balance and open pathways for inner clarity.

Surrounded by the historic acoustics of Symphony Center’s grand hall, you’ll be enveloped in a multi-sensory journey of resonance, stillness and recalibration. Whether you are seeking relief from stress, a deeper meditative practice or simply a moment of stillness in an iconic space, this restorative sound bath is an experience unlike any other.

Following the sound bath, guests are invited to a post-session reception in the elegant Grainger Ballroom, featuring a Q&A with Shannon Harris and an opportunity to learn more about his groundbreaking work. Light refreshments will be served as you unwind and connect with fellow attendees in one of Symphony Center’s most beautiful spaces.

Spaces are limited for this intimate, onstage offering. Come as you are. Leave re-tuned.

During my travels, I had the honor of being initiated into different indigenous tribes studying their traditions, healing modalities, and cultures.

I have owned and operated a non-profit/NGO (none governmental organization), the A.S.S.I.S.T. Society from 2012 - 2016. We assisted indigenous populations with clean water initiatives, financial sustainability, fair trade, agriculture, and wellness. I have participated in several forms of philanthropy and charity work in support of indigenous communities.
