My name is Alejandro Boullon.

Sound has had a sense of magnetism for me since I was a boy. Not a decision, not a plan. It was there before I knew what to do with it, and it never let go.

Before any of this, I spent six years in brokerage and financial services, then twenty years running my own business. I know what a Tuesday afternoon looks like when everyone has been switched on since seven, and what a quarter feels like when it isn't going well.

I left that pace once, not by choice, and spent the years afterward learning how people actually recover. I trained as an Acutonics practitioner, studied bodywork and qi gong with Perry Holloman at the Esalen Institute, graduated from the Florida School of Massage in massage and reflexology, and completed the Touch of Presence® Intensive Group in the Biodynamic Cranial Approach with Giorgia Milne. Along the way I found that sound did more for me than anything else, and I have spent more than a decade since playing it for other people: in yoga studios, on retreats, and in rooms full of people who had never done anything like it before.

Dream Lotus is where those two halves meet.

I bring twelve Crystal Tones Alchemy Singing Bowls, handpan, Rav Drum, a gong kept at a moderate volume indoors, classical guitar and Koshi chimes. Nothing is recorded and nothing follows a set list. I watch the room and play to it. A team of engineers at 3pm on a Tuesday needs something different from a leadership group at the end of a two-day retreat.

I arrive an hour early, set each instrument in its place, and then sit for a while before anyone comes in, thinking about the people who are going to walk through that door and whatever they are carrying that I will never know about.

Then I play.

I am a facilitator. That is genuinely how I think about myself. The hour belongs to the room, not to me. Nobody has to learn anything, perform anything, or say a word about it afterward, and when it ends I stay out of the way and let people come back in their own time.

What I won't do is tell you what it will do for your team. I will tell you exactly what happens, and there is a full session on film, unedited, so you can decide for yourself.
