Selkie Tides Sound Meditation

Selkie Tides Sound Meditations in Melbourne, Australia, is run by Michael Macdermid. A trained musician, audio engineer, and Tibetan Singing Bowl practitioner, he creates live and recorded soundscapes for relaxation, emotional transition, and inner transformation. His work blends craft and curiosity: the precision of a musician’s ear, the sensitivity of a field recordist, and the grounded presence of someone who understands the way sound can shift the inner weather. Michael works with Himalayan singing bowls and a minimal palette of tones, using resonance, reverb, and sustained harmonics to create a sense of spaciousness. Michael's approach is quietly science-informed yet attuned to intuition — attentive to breath, nervous system settling, and the gentle rebalancing that occurs when attention softens. The “Selkie” in Selkie Tides nods to the Celtic stories of threshold beings, reflecting Michael’s interest in the moments where one state becomes another. His sessions explore those thresholds: tension into ease, noise into quiet, quiet into clarity. Through both group offerings and recorded meditations, Michael invites listeners to experience sound as a tide — something that moves through, loosens, and slowly reveals what’s beneath. His guiding intention is simple: to help people find a steadier inner shoreline.
