About us
Star Sounds is a blend of Evolutionary Astrology and Sound healing with Gongs, crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, hand-pan, and a wide range of obscure unique sounding instruments from around the world.
I am David Heiss and my mission is to Know Thyself and am becoming a "shadow Guide" to assist others to Know Themselves better. The astrology stokes inner knowings, the sound Journeys are a somatic personal experiences where magic and miracles do happen.
I generally start talking about what the stars and planets energy is currently emanating, combined with a bigger picture back drop. If you resonate, its transmitting to you from the cosmos, you'll make some inner connections, then lay down, relax and let the sound-wave move through and around you.
When the gong sings your being listens. It listens with every cell of your body. You hear it and feel it. You begin to sense more. The obscure sounds leave your brain guessing and eventually stops as you begin to feel and heal. The vibrational frequencies penetrate into every cell of your body. The experience is personal like a dream. There are moments during a gong meditation where the subconscious can become conscious, the mystery becomes illuminated and insight follows. Intention setting can be powerful in this soundscape.
For first time travelers, No experience necessary , the gong meets you where you are. A curious open mind helps.
If your a frequent traveler, every experience is different. . Recommend bringing a water bottle and personal blankets, mat or pad, pillows if you desire. crystals, stuffed animal, anything you feel to enhance your journey.
I am David Heiss, in 2012 I stumbled into a gong bath and astrologer and it changed my life for the purer. I have since dedicated myself to the Star Sound healing path. I continue to explore the mysteries of vibration through Star Sounds.

From previous Cannabis Circle events:
"Admittedly, I was a bit apprehensive if this was going to be a psychedelic experience; but this has totally changed my view. Prior to this event, my relationship with cannabis was recreational, like most. But the set, setting and ceremony for this circle created a VERY incredible experience. If you are looking to have a new relationship with this medicine, and a very different experience, this circle is for you." - Brian
"I really enjoyed the Conscious Cannabis Event. The guidance of the facilitators and the sound journey was quite powerful.
I valued the space that was created for the event with some light ceremonial aspects which helped focus the intention for the experience.
Having only worked with cannabis recreationally years ago, I was surprised by how powerful of an experience I had and it opened my eyes and heart to a new and more conscious way for me to work with this medicine in the future.
I would highly recommend this experience for someone looking to dive deeper into themselves with a safe and intentional space to do so."
