She is passionate about the preservation of indigenous knowledge systems, music, instruments and using musical sound to help alleviate the anxiety and stress disorders experienced by youth & the greater community. Amaza Sound Journeys, founded by Qhawekazi Giyose, is a company that offers unique sound journeys using therapeutic instruments that produce natural overtones of specific frequencies, to create a safe and timeless space in which one can examine and reprogram old patterns and issues, to reconnect with their higher self. In our modern world we are exposed to things that
disrupt our health on a physical, emotional, mental or spiritual level. Sound healing can assist in restoring one’s sense of wellbeing and harmony and teach us to hold these naturally healthy and joyous frequencies in our bodies. Amaza Sound Journeys also offers intimate group sessions which feature a variety of musicians and multidisciplinary artists who encourage the use of music and sound as a tool in creating support structures around the practice of meditation and, to offer mental wellbeing interventions through the arts. “
