About Us
Our Mission
Amidst a world in flux, we cultivate fields of resonance, magnetizing positive and sustainable change. We believe that sound is the medicine of the future - a new and yet ancient modality of healing and attuning to the ever changing shifts of our world as well as our individual unfolding.
We believe that a genuine shift can occur when we establish a profound connection with the intimacy of our emotional and subtle body. From this point, we can expand our self-perception to encompass the broader interconnected web of life. The catalyst for societal shifts begins at the individual level, and we recognize the significant role that sound plays as a driver of change.

Founded in 2016 by Alisa Reimer and Temple Haze, Soneiro originated from the convergence of poetry and sound. Their intention has been to use sound and music to create safe passage out of the confines of everyday life, and into an intuitive reality. Serving as a reminder that positive change and a thriving creative world are possible.
Today, Soneiro is a multifaceted project facilitating educational and artistic experiences through the combination of sound, music, meditation and ceremony.
With extensive knowledge in cultural studies, ancestral arts and “brainwave entrainment technology" we create one of a kind, symphonious sound experiences, inviting you to transcend the confines of sensory perception.
As a collective, Soneiro works with international multidisciplinary artists, researchers and renowned wisdom carriers. Soneiro has also been curating conscious festival programs and teaching their approach on the work with sound and meditation at the Soneiro Sound Meditation Trainings.
Drawing from her background in Cultural Science, Psychology, and Philosophy, Alisa brought the project into a deeper sphere by building a repertoire of sessions that aim to inspire and guide people to experience a sustainable form of personal development that, in the long run, can bring about social change.
Temple incorporated his knowledge of sound design and meditation, such as brainwave-entrainment-frequencies, a science of how sound can affect the brain and induce different states of consciousness, developing intuitive vocal & sound techniques and an expertise about the power of human resonance.
Soneiro has created a method fusing science, ceremony and artistic expression, incorporating artists, musicians, space holders and practitioners alike, curating festival stages, building and holding conscious spaces, taking small steps towards cultivating more awareness in the world..Soneiro has been hosting trainings, retreats and sound experiences for the past 8 years, bringing their work on the road to over 20 festivals in 10 different countries, hosting more than 30 Yoga and Meditation Retreats and since 2020 the Soneiro Sound Meditation Trainings.

Kike was born in Lima, of migrant parents from the Andes of Peru.
His journey as a music lover started as a young child, which inspired him to study composition at the National Conservatory of Music.
This is when he started to dedicate a life long study to the Andean music, travelling the whole country, visiting different regions and indigenous communities.
Many of his great teachers are from the Andes and the Amazonian Native Communities, through whom he discovered the ritualistic aspect of music, the connection to the cosmos, rivers, mountains and Mother Earth. In these communities he was instructed to compose and sing in the native musical language and learn from the traditional medicine and close relationship between sound and the sacred plants.
Over time Kike built up an extensive collection of musical instruments and opened the renowned Taki Institute of Culture and Museum in Cusco.

Gerdus Oosthuizen
Sound Designer / Musician
-
Gerdus is a South African sound designer and musician living in Berlin. He has always been fascinated by sound, from the eery tick-tock of his grandfather's clock to the conundrum of how the ocean could fit it's voice inside a shell. He soon realised that sonic alchemy was the closest thing to magic he would find and the closest to a wizard he would become was a sound designer. His journey with yoga started 10 years ago, and as soon as the first "om" left his lips he knew that the power of sound went much deeper than he could have imagined. Presently Gerdus focuses on composition and sound design for film with Camissa Audio, creating sound journeys and musically supporting Soneiro Collective.
