Sound Healing at Frontier Tower

I am so excited to announce my partnership with the Human Flourishing Floor of Frontier Tower in downtown San Francisco! I became acquainted with the amazing leads of this floor during the Funding the Commons conference earlier this year.

Frontier Tower is considered a Vertical Conference (and sometimes unconference) due to its unique set-up. Every single floor is dedicated to the future of humanity and learning in its own way. Floor 15 is the coworking floor, Floor 14 is my floor - the Human Flourishing floor. Floor 11 is the Longevity floor researching longevity biotech and cutting-edge biomarker tracking. Floor 9 is the AI floor that builds and experiments with robots. Floor 8 covers Neuro + Biotech so you can have a lab away from your lab. Floor 7 is a makerspace, Floor 6 is dedicated to Arts + Music…

Everything about Frontier Tower exists on the edge… and on the frontier of the unknown discovered through experimentation and evolution.

I had been to many events at Frontier Tower before the Funding the Commons conference. Different floors will host different events so I had been there for music and dancing but also gatherings that were hosted by different floors collaborating with one another.

During our first meeting, Zan, one of the floor leads of the Human Flourishing floor, literally were already collaborating together, so when I asked him if we could do more events, he was already excited.

Not but two weeks later, we planned our first event for Tuesday April 14th 2026 which we created to be a Sound Healing + Sunset Tea Ceremony as the roof of Frontier Tower is a lovely place to watch sunset from. We had a full house and people came from all directions to join this sacred space that I created through the Crystal Bowl Sound Bath by dropping in, breathing deep and trusting the journey and their process. Afterwards people were led up to the roof to shed whatever came up during the sound session to the setting sun. This was an especially auspicious day as 7 planets were stationed in Aries with no retrogrades! What does that mean? FULL STEAM AHEAD AND LETS FUCKING GO! type energy as Aries is the leader of spring and the beginning of the astrological new year.

After sunset people came down to chat and participate in the tea ceremony and ended up staying for a long time to meet one another, make new friends and chat about … well… everything! It’s interesting how sound healing attracts vastly different people - people in AI, Tech, Crypto, Health and Wellness, business owners and CEO’s alike - something about the simple understanding that we are vibration and that sound can not only affect but organize matter is no longer ‘woo’ but proven by science, and visible to the naked eye. If you haven’t already - go ahead and watch some videos on Cymatics on YouTube. Cymatics is the study of the shape that sound makes - and all frequencies can create cymatics and different frequencies will organize in different patterns. When I watch these videos - or create my own experiments at home - it’s so validating to be able to physically see the overlap of science and spirituality.

Zan and I are so grateful to everyone who came out to share this evening of Sound + Ceremony! Our first event was so successful that we have decided to host monthly events and our next one will be during Human Tech week in May - as meditation is literally Human Technology.

Meditating with Jhourney

I started working for Jhourney at a very interesting time in my life; one of my relationships was ending and I was feeling like you normally do at that tumultuous time - a little shaky, unsure of what’s to come, fearing the unknown and how it will come to pass, wondering if life will be kind to you and catch you - those sort of things. I had done a retreat with Jhourney and they just seemed to like me and they asked me to come work for them; it was such a lovely gift that they gave me - they gave me structure and hope - as well as the gift of realizing how easy meditation could be.

Jhourney is the San Francisco-based meditation company that teaches you how to teach yourself to get into jhana; which, as a teacher I absolutely love that framework because thats how I have always taught - giving people information but allowing them to make sense of it themselves, and then being there as a guide as they work through things. The people that are drawn to Jhourney are these incredibly brilliant minds searching for something to calm the noise that burns inside them. For me it was my ADHD - my thoughts were always so loud I never thought that I could quiet the noise - for other participants it was across the board - they knew they needed something, anxieties, destabilizing life events, ruminating thoughts, not trusting themselves, etc.

The way that Jhourney ‘hacks’ meditation was the exact way I needed to help me understand how to meditate - as you all know I come from a vast biological and spiritual background studying the body, the mind and the heart. Most, if not all, of my friends were meditators and yet, I could not figure it out. The abstract instructions I was always given was just to ‘sit and try to let go of my thoughts….’

…And, my friends, I cannot just ‘sit and try to let go of my thoughts….’

…Or at least I thought I couldn’t…

When I went to my Jhourney Retreat in May of 2024, Jhourney did something that I desperately needed: they flipped the archetype of meditation on its head for me and told me I could break the rules. As a rule-breaker myself, this advice brought me great joy. I had this idea in my head that I needed to sit perfectly still and not have one thought in my head - based on intro talks of TM and Vipassana I had been to years earlier. With the powers of scoliosis and ADHD combined these things are ✨almost✨ impossible!

Jhourney offered easy solutions: if sitting hurts - then lay down. If neither works - then go for a walk - just make it slow and intentional. They helped me reorient my goal - not to try to get rid of my thoughts but to work alongside them. As someone who is very visual I started being able to befriend my thoughts to conjure feelings and then use my thoughts to help me stay in that feeling, and then once everything felt stable I felt more collected rather than scattered and ✨over efforting✨.

What a concept!

Jhourney helps so many people not only find meditation but love it, sincerely. They make it easy to understand and they guide you the whole way. Since my time with Jhourney I have considered myself a proficient meditator and even completed a 12 day Vipassana retreat in May 2025! Younger Jess always had that as an intention for my life, and finally achieving my goal felt so blissful.

After my last in person retreat at the Blue Spirit Resort in Nosara, Costa Rica in July 2025 I knew it was time for a wacky road trip through Nicaragua and Honduras all the way up to surf in El Salvador. Luckily I was blessed with a co-teaching team of amazing individuals and together, Matt, Jack, Owen, Tracey, Hanna and I embarked on our quest. We had the absolute best time piecing together playlists, border crossings, various different buses, a handful of shuttles shuttles and some epic side quests.

I’m so grateful for the time I spent with Jhourney traveling through all throughout California and Costa Rica, teaching alongside people that will remain lifetime friends, and meeting epically cool people as participants - it’s a time I’ll never forget!
