We are Katie and Rick of Our Sacred Sun.

Katie is a qualified Trauma-Informed Sound Therapist and has a keen interest in herbal medicine, astrology, folklore and Magick.

Rick has a history in sound engineering and music production, is a djembe drummer, a vinyl enthusiast and produces electronic music. Rick lived in the Far East growing up and has lived experience with lots of different instruments, cultures and methods of creating sound.

We now live on The Edge of the Dark Peak in Glossop, Derbyshire with our troublesome little blind dog Floyd, who loves a good sound bath and any kind of food he can get his paws on.

We specialise in sacred ceremonies working with a mixture of our voices, the drum, Himalayan singing bowls, quartz crystal singing bowls, chimes, percussion, shamanic rattles and our gongs to take you on a journey back to yourselves through ritual, sound journeys and guided meditations.

We create every sound bath, sacred ceremony and guided meditation with the present moment in mind. Weaving sound medicine, Magickal intentions and the astrology of the present moment to create something truly unique.

We hold hour-long sound baths, with some time on either side for chatting, resting and connecting at our Monday Medicine Sound Bath Sessions in Glossop, Derbyshire and sometimes as guests at other events!

One-to-one sound Therapy Sessions are also available with Katie at her beautiful new Therapy room in Central Glossop. Click here for more details.

Katie Dervin is a member of the College of Sound Healing, which is regulated by the Complementary Medical Association, Therapeutic Sound Association and International Institute for Complementary Therapies.
