An Outsider
Growing up in a large blended family, Bianca often felt like she didn’t quite fit in. Her mind raced with ideas faster than she could express them, a trait that, coupled with her ADHD diagnosis in her teenage years, made conventional paths feel unfulfilling. The pharmaceutical treatments she was offered left her uneasy, and the routine 9-to-5 jobs seemed devoid of purpose. She longed for something more meaningful.
The First Experience
In 2018, Bianca's life took a transformative turn during a visit to Crystal Castle in Northern Rivers, NSW Australia. There, she encountered the mesmerising power of crystal singing bowls during a sound meditation class. For someone who struggled to quiet her mind, the immersive experience was revelatory. It was the first time she felt truly at peace, and it sparked a deep, unshakable curiosity.
Sunrise Sounds
Driven by her newfound passion, Bianca embarked on a self-guided journey of discovery, diving into topics like sound, frequency, neuroscience, and the mathematics of harmonics. She purchased crystal bowls online, experimented with different techniques, and eagerly absorbed every bit of knowledge she could find. To share her enthusiasm, she started hosting free weekly community events called 'Sunrise Sounds' on the beautiful Burleigh Heads beach, inviting locals to experience and explore the magic of crystal bowls.
Refining the Quality of Bowls
Despite the potential she saw in crystal bowls, Bianca was frustrated with their inconsistent quality. Many were difficult to play, had a rough texture, and produced short sound resonance. Determined to improve the standard and make the 'perfect pitch' bowls, Bianca sourced her own manufacturer to embark on an extensive journey of design, production, and testing. Many many months of back and forth, testing different grades of quartz, changing techniques, making sample after sample, and finally... she had achieved the 'perfect pitch' bowls she was happy with!
The First Workshops
In 2021, Bianca began running her first crystal singing bowls workshops and hasn't looked back ever since. She loved the joy of sharing her knowledge, the tools and the techniques she had refined over the years. She made new friends and connecting with a community of like-minded individuals, and witnessing the positive impact of crystal bowls. It was clear to her that she had found her true calling.
