OUR VIBE Sounding Out with Zen with Ben, who we know will elevate the seminar to new levels.
I’m Ben, founder of Zen with Ben, based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. I’m a musician, composer, producer and sound bath practitioner/educator, and my work brings a musical approach to sound bath facilitation.
Tell us about Zen with Ben and how it started.
Zen with Ben grew quite organically. I’d attended sound baths for years, but when I eventually bought my own crystal singing bowls, my background as a musician immediately started influencing the way I approached them. I became interested in notes, harmony, rhythm, dynamics, pacing and structure, and that eventually developed into what I now call the Zen with Ben Method. Today I run sound baths as well as practitioner training and education.
Tell us what you enjoy about creating content and building a sound healing business:
What I enjoy most about creating content is making things practical and accessible. There can be a lot of mystery around sound baths, whereas I like showing people what is actually happening musically and giving them something they can immediately try for themselves. Social media has also allowed me to build a community far beyond my local sessions and connect with practitioners and people interested in sound all over the world.
Building Zen with Ben has been exciting because it has grown from something very personal into a much broader education and creative business, while still allowing me to stay closely connected to the actual practice.
