Sound Healing

Sound Journeys & Restorative Sound Experiences

My work with sound has grown alongside a dedicated yoga asana practice, contemplative spiritual disciplines, and a lifelong commitment to music-making. As Celloquacious, I create immersive elemental (earth, air, fire, water and ether) sound journeys that invite deep listening, relaxation, reflection, and connection. Drawing from the heart opening resonance of the cello, its harmonics, live looping and ethereal effects, each experience is tailored and

responsive to the needs of the community,

gathering, or event in real time.

A Journey Across the Threshold

is a guided visual imagery experience and sound journey inspired by themes in near-death accounts…you’ll imagine a peaceful passage, reflect on the love you have given and received, and return with a renewed desire to live each day as if it were your last. It’s an invitation to remember that we are spiritual beings having a human experience rather than human beings who have the occasional spiritual experience. You’ll rest in oneness and compassion…eternity and inner peace…love and light.

Kristy LaMariana, owner of Corrales Grief Spa will be your visual imagery guide.
Melodious Ceremonia (Celloquacious and Eli del Puerto) will create the responsive Sound Journey for you.

This will be held outdoors, in the lovely backyard of Corrales Grief Spa at 140 Camino Vega Verde, Corrales NM, 87048.

My Approach

My work has been offered in diverse settings, including yoga studios, spiritual retreats, interfaith gatherings, wellness events, and community healing spaces throughout New Mexico, nationally and internationally.

I have facilitated sound experiences for organizations and communities including: New Mexico Interfaith Power and Light retreats and statewide gatherings, Albuquerque Center for Spiritual Living gatherings, Yoga studios and wellness centers, Traditional Curandera and Curandero healing circles, Reiki practitioners, Indigenous community gatherings for Pueblo and Navajo participants, as well as private ceremonies and retreats.

Throughout these experiences, I have learned that sound can create a welcoming space for presence, restoration, contemplation, and community connection across many traditions and backgrounds.

My approach is informed by:

Decades of yoga asana practice
Life long contemplative and spiritual practices
Practicing Deep-Time in Nature and Silence
Professional performance experience as a cellist, composer, sound artist and creative director
Experience serving interfaith, Indigenous, wellness, and community-based organizations
A commitment to creating welcoming and respectful spaces for people of diverse beliefs and backgrounds
Experience as an educator and curriculum writer for three decades

Rather than prescribing a particular belief system, I offer sound as an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with ourselves, one another, and the present moment.

Relax. Enjoy deep rest. Rejuvenate. Be inspired!

First Fridays Renew: Live Looping Cello

Sound Healing 

First Fridays | 6:45 PM | 11/6, 12/4 & 1/1

Bhava Yoga Studio

520 A Central Ave SE, Albuquerque

Experience a deeply restorative sound healing journey created entirely through live electroacoustic cello and real-time looping by award-winning cellist and composer Keely Mackey-Gonzales (Celloquacious). Rather than using prerecorded tracks or a collection of sound healing instruments, every sound is created live in the moment, allowing each session to unfold organically and respond to the energy of the group.

Rooted in decades of yoga, meditation, and contemplative practice, these immersive experiences are designed to calm the nervous system, encourage deep relaxation, and cultivate presence. Inspired by the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Ether, Keely’s original compositions invite participants into an experience of grounding, spaciousness, transformation, flow, and renewal.

Each First Friday gathering features a unique intention inspired by the changing seasons, the New Moon, and the rhythms of the natural world. This is not a performance—it is a space to rest, receive, and reconnect with yourself through the rich, resonant voice of the cello…in community.

What makes this sound healing unique:

● The cello has the range of the human voice, is heart opening, deeply resonant and emotive. Every sound is performed live by Keely’s sensitivities of playing cello for over 4 decades, through electroacoustic cello and live looping—no prerecorded music or soundtracks.

● Original compositions inspired by nature and the five elements create a different intention and journey each month.

● Informed by decades of yoga and contemplative practice, the experience is designed as an immersive meditation rather than a musical performance.

After class, you may experience:

● Deep relaxation and nervous system restoration.

● Greater mental clarity, emotional balance, and inner spaciousness.

● A renewed sense of grounding, presence, and connection with yourself….ready for the weekend!
