Tone Circle Seattle: Community Vocal ToningYour voice belongs here.

Meet the playful vocal practice designed for the age of personal empowerment—no singing experience necessary. At this voice-first community meditation, everyone’s invited to explore the somatic magic of their own sound—to calm the mind, connect from the heart, and bring more flow to daily life.

We breathe. We sing. We get a little weird (in the best way). Together, we create a space of total acceptance, deep rest, and real-time vibrational support for wherever you are on your journey. Oh, and did we mention the spontaneous harmonies that feel like soul-level hugs? Get ready to cue the goosebumps.

Tone Circle Seattle FAQs

What is improvised vocal toning?It’s a simple, free-form practice of sustaining sound on a hum or open vowel. When paired with intention, vocal toning becomes a powerful tool for calming the nervous system, grounding the body, and rebalancing the mind. All sound is improvised—there’s no music to learn, no lyrics to memorize, and nothing to perform.

Feeling shy?It’s totally okay to just listen at Tone Circle Seattle—there’s no pressure to make sound, only an open invitation. Your voice matters because it’s yours—whether spoken, intoned, or silently felt. In a group vocal meditation, the magic isn’t in “singing pretty” or getting anything right—it’s in showing up. It starts with hearing yourself and, when you feel ready, allowing yourself to be heard. Still nervous? Bring an emotional support friend. All people are welcome!

What should I bring?We often sit on the floor for most of the practice, so feel free to bring your favorite cushion, zafu, or anything else that helps you sit comfortably. Chairs will also be available. A water bottle is a great idea too—your vocal cords will thank you.
