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.

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 | 6:00–7:30 PM | Beginning September 4 th at Bhava Yoga Studio
Use discount code: SEPKEELY2026
Experience a deeply restorative 90-minute 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!
