Experience Sika’s immersive Sound Journey at the state-of-the-art Luggate Memorial Centre (Whare Mahana)—a venue uniquely engineered for deep sonic relaxation. As New Zealand's first Passive House-certified community hall, its advanced triple-glazed insulation seals out the outside world, creating a perfectly warm, draft-free environment ideal for lying down and letting go. Its purpose-built acoustics and sprung timber floors amplify every deep didgeridoo rumble and drumbeat, allowing you to physically feel the healing vibrations move through your mat for an unforgettable, multi-sensory meditation.
Something between an ancient ceremony and a movie soundtrack.
Please bring a yoga mat, pillow and blanket. Be prepared to drop into a deep space.
Door sales will be available if there is space. Advanced booking is recommended.
His toolkit features:
The Didgeridoo: Providing a deeply grounding, resonant low-frequency base.
Māori Taonga Pūoro: Traditional New Zealand "singing treasures" (like the pūtātara, hue, and kōauau) that introduce haunting, unusual "voices" to the room.
Native American Style Flutes & Hoop Drums: Adding melodic, sweeping airscapes and steady, organic, trance-inducing rhythms.
- Foraged Soundscapes & Nature Recordings
What sets Sika apart is his extensive history of field-recording the wilderness of New Zealand and Australia. He weaves live elemental textures into his journeys using:
Natural Artifacts: Live manipulating of leaves, stones, bones, and shells.
Field Audio: Seamlessly layering ambient sounds of roaring wind, crackling fire, water, and wildlife.
Modern Analogue Synthesis: Integrating deep textures from high-tech tools like the Moog synthesizer to create unrecognizable, rich, and abstract audio cocoons.
- Deep Shamanic & Liminal Space Exploration
Rather than just providing simple background music for relaxation, Sika constructs a deliberate, wordless passage. By mixing harmonious tones with the tension and release of discordant frequencies, he guides listeners into a meditative, liminal state where the boundaries of rational time soften. Participants frequently experience vivid waking dreams, ancestral memory recall, sudden clarity, or profound emotional releases.
- Endorsement from Cultural Elders
Sika's work is uniquely anchored by his deep connection to the lands he visits. He has been recognized and endorsed by significant Māori, Native American, and Aboriginal elders (including the Yuin tribe of South Australia) for his respectful and highly conscious handling of indigenous sound medicine and elemental energies.
- Captivating Sacred Space Performances
Sika frequently takes his tours across New Zealand, Australia, and the UK. He acts as an international staple at spirit festivals and sells out distinct, energetic venues ranging from subterranean caves (Carnglaze Caverns) to monolithic, open-air historical locations like Stonehenge and Avebury.
Sika creates a safe space to relax deeply and connect with our inner guidance. This Sound Journey begins and ends with a short guided visualisation.
There will be two journeys with an interval. Most people choose to lie down, so once again, please bring a yoga mat, pillow and blanket to get really comfortable.
A journal is also recommended.
