Creating a Haven Where the Soul can Rest and the Heart can Speak.
Through the ancient practices of Yoga, Sound Meditation, and the devotional path of Bhakti, you are invited to ground deeply into your own essence. Here, we move beyond the noise of the mind to find a true inner listening—reminding us that the most profound transformation begins when we simply show up, exactly as we are.
Where Roots Meet Rest
We Invite You to Journey into Stillness
The Sitka and Stillness Collective is a sanctuary built on the wisdom of integration and nervous system regulation. We believe that our truest growth stems from the fertile soil of deep, restorative rest.
Our philosophy honors the ancient lineage of Yoga as a path of heart-centered devotion. By deliberately fusing restorative practices, sacred sound, and the devotional heart of Bhakti yoga, we invite you to slip beneath the external noise. Here, we are training our awareness to reside within these curated soundscapes—discovering that we don't just seek quiet, but a deeper connection to who we are.
Whether through a shared mantra or a deep breath of silence, the sound we make is most powerful when it comes simply and sincerely from the heart. In the stillness of the individual, we find the healing of the collective. When we return to our own center, we become a steadying presence for the world around us—a single drop of peace creating ripples of resonance for the whole.
Why Sound Meditation?
We view Sound Meditation not as entertainment, but as an essential,
Sacred Science to cultivate ease, and witness the spirit's quiet expansion.
By pairing the precision of sacred frequency with the devotional heart of Bhakti, we create a multidimensional field to hold you as you discover deep rest.
Sound Meditation is a practice of deep inner listening-where sound settles the nervous system, allowing the heart to open and the soul to anchor in a journey of true homecoming.
The Heart of Our Practice
Sitka and Stillness is a sanctuary for the internal being. Rooted in the quiet wisdom of the ancient forest, we create space for you to soften the noise and return to your own natural frequency. Whether through a communal journey or a private session, everything we offer is a bridge back to the true self.

"The synergy between Anne-Marie and Tifannie is like a living bridge between the earth and the sky. Together, they create a container where time seems to stop. The way they weave the primal power of the gongs with intentional breathing techniques, chanting, and the singing bowls feels like a soul-deep restoration. It wasn't just a sound bath; it felt like a homecoming to myself."
-Katie
"Tifannie and Anne-Marie are so very talented. The experience you will have with them is unlike no other. They offer something anyone and everyone can benefit from."
-Mike
"Anne-Marie doesn’t just lead a session, she brings her presence, which is a masterclass in groundedness. She has a rare gift for holding a space that feels expansive, celestial and also deeply rooted in awareness. Through her guidance, I felt my nervous system finally soften, moving from a state of constant 'doing' into a profound, restorative 'being.' She is a true bridge between the ancient knowledge and present consciousness."
-Maya
"Tifannie's calm, warm and welcoming presence illuminates the space and eases you into a state of calm surrender. She has a way of rooting you deep within yourself with her instruments, especially with the combination of her Crystal Alchemy bowls and the grounding tones of her Himalayan bowl. She offers a beautiful, gentle awakening with the tongue-drum and soft vocal chanting. I feel a quiet expansion each time I have the pleasure of one of her offerings."
-Aurora
"Two beautiful souls offering grace and expansion through song and sound. These intimate sessions always include deep intentions, stories, literature, songs, mediation and raw moments of connection, rest and fellowship. I've been present for two sessions including Summer Solstice and looking forward to more. Sat Nam - Sitka and Stillness Collective. See you again"

"I attended a sacred sound ceremony in Victoria and it was absolutely wonderful. I left feeling incredibly rested, as if I had slept 10 hours. The instruments they used transport your mind to a place of calm and serenity. I myself am not versed in the science of frequencies but there is something magical about them. I can not wait to attend again. It was also really pleasant that after the session they handed out some prasad and delicious tea and did not rush anyone to leave. All of us were able to take our time and collect ourselves which really helped the transition and being able to stay in the state of relaxation that had been curated during the session. 15/10 experience."
-Alexandra
"I feel the moment I entered the studio that I belonged. A warm greeting, a sacred place. As the practice began, I immediately felt more grounded. As we chanted the mantras I felt a connection with something else. We then laid down in a comfortable position. For me it was Savasana . Gently sound began to fill the room. Not really knowing where it was coming from. It seemed to come from everywhere. The sound of gongs and chimes and other sounds I had never heard before. Deeper I went into relaxation, almost sleep, but not quite. After a certain amount of time, I hear a voice, so soft and gentle. Immediately tears began to pour down my face. I really am unsure why. The sound of the voice felt like it was part of me. Then it fades and comes back again , gently. Then the voice invites us to lay on our side, and slowly come to a seated position. We gently open our eyes. I definitely felt different. An absolute state of bliss. We were served tea and prasad, blessed food from our practice. Then it was a little social time with Tifannie and Anne-Marie. I felt almost intoxicated on the way home. For me this was such an amazing experience. I signed up for the next session immediately. My state of bliss lasted for well over a week"
-Keith
"No words or actions could properly express my gratitude and appreciation for you. The other night was truly wonderful for me, throughout the experience, my mind and body went through many different thought processes and experiences. I feel lighter, slightly more limber with less tension, I feel the experience grounded me and hydrated me with love. I felt completely loved during the evening, and that genuine sincerity and compassion you both emit into the world has me noting how blessed and fortunate I am; to be the receiver of such a rare gift of beauty in sound and voice. I am grateful beyond words, Such a great night the other night "
