Aloka Sound Bath House

In 2019 Graham began leading sound ceremonies in Portland as Aloka, a name that means light in Sanskrit. It started as an app he wrote and designed, a wellness program built on breathwork, yoga and meditation. The practice the app pointed to became the business, and in 2025 it became Aloka Sound Bath House.

A lifelong musician, he works with crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, harmonium, gong, handpan, frame drum and voice, and draws on rhythm, breath and non-dual philosophy. He designed the brand, the website and the room.

Aloka has held more than 200 sessions in studios, boardrooms, parks and living rooms: a weekly Sound Lab at Bodha Yoga since November 2024, sessions at Wild Reed Yoga, Park Lab on Mt. Tabor, and private sessions in the Attic, his studio near Mt. Tabor. Soho House, TEDxPortland and Lululemon have brought Aloka in for their people, and Killian Pacific sponsored a four-month residency in Portland’s Central Eastside.

I went into Graham Slick’s sound bath feeling a little skeptical, but I left feeling like a whole new person.

I left feeling rejuvenated, centered, and incredibly peaceful.
