Sessions
You share what you're carrying. Together we shape it into a chant. Something hard to hold alone becomes something you can sing.
"Agapic Chants was a magical experience. It transformed one of my deepest sorrows that previously felt like it had no bottom, into a poem that I was here to express in the world. Singing it together with Nathan helped move the transformation through my entire system. It wasn't just a change in perspective, it reached my body, heart, and soul."

"We mapped a recent professional conflict I had back to some much deeper issues and then transformed those old associations into an empowering sense of being reborn. And then to top it all off — in a surprising twist — Nathan and I wrote a song about it!"
A.J. Bond
I've spent decades working where sound meets transformation. PhD in sociology of religion, years as a musician and songwriter, a decade designing ritual spaces for people navigating what matters most. I founded the Respond project and have sat with people through their hardest moments. I've also spent long stretches in monasteries and meditation retreats.
With Agapic Chants, I use the simple social technology of singing together to create conditions where something can shift. The work draws on all of it: academic training in how meaning-making works, musical practice, contemplative training, and years holding space when things fall apart. I hold space and provide structure. The work happens through you, not to you.
