Joule L’Adara, MFA, is an experimental sound-artist, vocalist, holistic vocal coach, and sound therapy practitioner based in New York. Joule founded Sounding Circles LLC in 2009, through which she produces vocal empowerment and sound meditation play-shops for adults. She created a unique group facilitation method which accesses the voice as a transformational tool, bypassing language in order to connect to pure emotional expression. Joule is also an official US trainer for German-based Therapeutic Instrument maker Feeltone, maker of Meditation Monochords. She trains sound healing practitioners through live workshops, retreats, and her online courses. Her programs have been featured at the New York Open Center, Integral Yoga Institute, Bread & Yoga, The Green Spa, Naturopathica Spa, The Dorot Institute, New York City’s Community Healthcare Network, The WOOM Center, Donna Karen’s Urban Zen, Denver’s Samadhi Center for Yoga and Meditation, San Francisco’s Globe Institute, LA’s Unplug Meditation, Community Arts Partnership (CAP) of Los Angeles, and Kalani Oceanside Retreat in Hawaii. Joule has been producing her monthly series The Sound Soak - an immersive meditative live concert and “sound bath” - since the Fall of 2012. She has been featured on the Today Show, New York 1, and appeared as a guest with The Big Quiet, Mediclub, San Francisco’s Sound Healing Symphony, and the Emerging Women Live Conference in Denver. She gave a keynote speech at the Globe Sound Healing Conference in Oakland, California sharing the stage with top leaders in the sound wellness community. Joule is currently working on her book: Sounding Circles: a guide for creating community and connection through vocal sounding. Follow her on IG: @jouleladara.
