In this conversation, we speak with Philip Avierinos, founder of ENSOMBLE, about a life shaped by listening. Beginning as a classically trained pianist, and later teaching music for two decades, his path gradually opened into the therapeutic potential of sound.
We explore how sound baths can support shifts in brain states, nervous system regulation, and deep rest — particularly through the absence of rhythm and melody. We also discuss Philip’s handcrafted Andean-inspired whistling bottles, his continued work bringing sound baths into schools, and the benefits of sound in educational settings.
Throughout the conversation, we reflect on the role of listening in helping us return to relationship with ourselves, others, and the natural world.
