Medicine Song and Sound Journey with Courtney Ward
Healing Through the Language of Sound and Soul
Rediscover Stillness Through Sound
In a world filled with constant noise, the art of deep listening has become rare. Sound Journeys invite you to slow down, rest deeply, and reconnect with your natural rhythm through the ancient language of vibration.
Guided by Courtney Ward, founder of Halo Gaia and lifelong sound explorer, this immersive experience blends ethnic and indigenous instruments, voice, and rhythm to create a space of reflection, release, and restoration.
Simply lie down, close your eyes, and let the music carry you.
Why Sound as Medicine
All of life vibrates – from ocean tides to the beating of the human heart.
Each Medicine Song & Sound Sound Journey is a reminder that healing begins in harmony. The tones and frequencies used in this experience mirror the sounds of the natural world – wind, water, birds, breath – inviting balance back into the body and peace back into the mind.
Through intentional sound, stress begins to soften, energy realigns, and the space for insight and emotional release quietly opens.
Guided by Courtney Ward
Fondly known as “Kiri Kiri” for her work with dolphins and ocean retreats, Courtney Ward has spent more than three decades guiding people into connection – through nature, sound, and story.
The Medicine Song and Sound Journey began when Courtney first discovered the didgeridoo at just 18 years old. For more than 32 years, she has been guided by the earth,, its cultures, prayers, rhythms, and songs. This deep connection to sound eventually led her to Ponta Malongane, Mozambique, where she was invited to meet the wild dolphins. As the true sound masters of our planet, these cetaceans profoundly inspired her and expanded her devotion to sharing this ancient healing modality.
In Halo Gaia’s early wild dolphin encounters and retreats, the Medicine Song and Sound Journey emerged as an ocean-based meditation practice. It has since evolved into a signature heart-opening experience. Courtney weaves song, rhythm, and nature’s frequency into a shared story – one that awakens memory, belonging, and joy.

What You’ll Experience
A Journey Through Song, Sound & Story
Lie back, close your eyes, and be guided through a soundscape inspired by the earth — oceans, forests, and ancient cultures blended through melody and rhythm.
Ethnic & Indigenous Instruments
Experience the resonance of drums, didgeridoos, flutes, singing bowls, and vocal tapestry — each instrument and tone carrying its own cultural heartbeat and healing frequency.
Deep Relaxation & Integration

A Soulful Gathering
Hosted in Ponta Malongane, South Africa and beyond, these journeys are offered in intimate group settings – often under starlit skies or within retreat spaces surrounded by the sounds of the ocean.
