about nada soma

nada soma is an intentional space for restoration, reconnection, and regulation.
Founded by Will and James, the practice creates opportunities to slow down and reconnect through sound, ritual, meditation, and simple acts of attention. Rather than following a prescribed path, each offering invites participants to meet themselves exactly as they are, allowing the experience to unfold naturally.
Informed by contemplative traditions and expressed through contemporary forms, nada soma moves fluidly between ceremony and everyday life, recognising ritual as an ongoing practice of presence.
Will, of Māori-European heritage, is a Musical Artist, certified Hatha Yoga Teacher, and Ceremonial Tea Facilitator. His work focuses on mindfulness and embodiment, shaped by rhythm, simplicity, and attentiveness to the body.
James draws from his Punjabi background and training as a Musical Artist, holding a Bachelor of Music, a Diploma in Sound Production, and a Certified Breath-Work facilitator. His practice is informed by long-term study and embodiment in Meditation, Kriya Yoga, Nada Yoga, Sound-Based Practices, and Eastern Philosophy.
Together, James and Will guide nada soma as an evolving practice, prioritising presence over performance, process over outcome, and depth over definition.

Sound Baths & Sound Ceremony
Our sound baths draw on the ancient practice of Nada Yoga, using sound and vibration to support deep relaxation, nervous system regulation, and inner restoration. Blending traditional acoustic instruments with thoughtfully crafted electronic ambiences, each session offers an immersive space to slow down, rest, and reconnect.
Alongside our live offerings, nada soma (नाद सोम) also create original music and soundscapes for meditation, wellness spaces, and personal practice.
Tea in Ceremony
Tea Ceremony is an invitation into mindfulness through the simple act of sharing tea. Prepared in the traditional Gongfu Cha style using rare Chinese teas and traditional teaware, each ceremony honours the quiet depth and lineage of tea.
Rather than teaching, the practice offers space to slow down, notice what is present, and cultivate a deeper sense of awareness. We also offer Tea & Sound Ceremonies, combining tea with live sound for an immersive experience of rest, regulation, and reflection, alongside ceremonial cacao offerings.
Breathwork
The breath is a powerful tool for calming the nervous system, grounding the body, and bringing greater awareness to the present moment. We offer a range of practices, from traditional yogic pranayama to conscious connected breathing.
Breathwork can also be combined with somatic practices, helping to release tension, improve emotional regulation, and foster a deeper connection between body and mind.
Meditation
Our meditation sessions weave together breath, visualisation, mantra, chanting, and sound to gently guide participants into stillness and presence.
Inspired by Sanskrit traditions, Buddhist chanting, and other contemplative practices, mantra may be offered as a shared invitation rather than a performance. There is no expectation to sing or chant. You are welcome to participate through voice, quiet listening, gentle movement, or simply resting in stillness.
The intention is to experience sound not only as something we hear, but as something we feel, supporting presence, connection, and inner calm.
