Ocean of Devotion Sound Journey

Ocean of Devotion Sound Journey is a sound bath led by Preston Klik, an Evanston, Illinois musician who creates live meditative sound journeys. This one takes place at the Ottawa Center for the Arts in Ottawa, Illinois, and begins at 4pm. It suits anyone drawn to sound meditation, from people who want a quiet hour of deep listening to those who like to let music carry them into a trance-like state.

What to Expect

The Ocean of Devotion Sound Journey is one of the live programs Preston Klik offers, alongside his OM Gong Experience. His sound work draws on a wide set of instruments: melodica, didjeridoo, Ocean Drum, loops, crystal bowls, Native American flute, wah-tube, rattles and drums. Listeners are invited to receive the sound rather than perform anything, whether that means settling into stillness or following the music wherever it leads.

About Preston Klik

Preston Klik is a musician based in Evanston, Illinois, who leads live meditative sound journeys and also gives lessons. His Shamanic Walkabout concerts have been described as both grounding and transcendent, "a healing meditation for some, a psychic music-guided trance-journey for others." His wife, Emily Klik, often shares Cranio-Sacral Therapy with attendees at his gatherings.

Preston and Emily met in the garden at Unity Chicago, after the first "Eight:18 - Circus of the Spirit" celebration, and later married in Unity's garden gazebo. They took the name Klik together.

The Setting

The event is held at the Ottawa Center for the Arts in Ottawa, Illinois, a community arts venue. It is one stop on Preston Klik's schedule of sound journeys at yoga studios, libraries and arts centers around Illinois and nearby states.
