Private Alchemy Sound Ceremony

An intimate ceremonial experience for those who want to celebrate, mark a moment, or simply gather in something deeper.

This is not your average gathering.
It's a ceremony.

There is something that happens when a group of people lie down together in candlelight, breathe the same air, drink cacao with intention, and surrender to the resonance of crystal singing bowls. Something shifts. Old things loosen. New things become possible.

A Private Alchemy Sound Ceremony brings that experience directly to you — in your home, your backyard, your chosen space — held and facilitated by Pritam Tara from beginning to end. Every ceremony is personalized around the occasion, the energy of the group, and what you most want to create.

Whether you're celebrating a birthday, marking a transition, or simply want to give the people you love an experience they will actually remember — this is it.

Every ceremony
holds the same foundation.

Regardless of which tier you choose, every Private Alchemy Sound Ceremony includes:

Ceremonial Cacao

Intentionally prepared and served by Pritam Tara as the opening drop-in. Cacao opens the heart, softens the nervous system, and signals to the body that something different is happening here.

Live Crystal Bowl Journey

A full sound journey on crystal singing bowls with additional instruments — chimes, drum, and others selected for the tone of the gathering. Not recorded. Not ambient. Live, responsive, and attuned to the room.

Opening Intention and Closing Share

A personalized moment of acknowledgment for the guest of honor or the group — spoken, witnessed, and held. This is often what people remember most.

Birthday Blessing or Intentional Group Moment

A simple opening to set the container, and space at the close for the group to land, share, and integrate whatever arose.

Guest Preparation Guide

Sent in advance of the ceremony — what to wear, what to bring, what to expect. So everyone arrives ready to receive, not wondering what they've walked into.

Curated Arrival Soundscape & Elemental Altar

Music playing as guests arrive to ease the transition and set the tone before the ceremony begins, and an intentional Altar space representing the 5 Elements: Ether, Air, Fire, Water, Earth.

The Gathering
Starting at $450
75 minutes

Base includes up to 8 guests · $40 per additional guest

An intimate drop-in for a small, close circle. We open with ceremonial cacao and a grounding intention, move into a live crystal bowl and instrument sound journey, and close with a birthday blessing or group share — whatever feels right for the moment. Simple, powerful, complete.

Best for Intimate birthdays, close friend circles, a meaningful evening that actually means something.
The Ritual
Starting at $600
90 minutes

Base includes up to 12 guests · $45 per additional guest

Everything in The Gathering, with more space to breathe. The sound journey is longer and more layered, and we weave in an optional breathwork or integration piece — so the group leaves with something to carry home. This is the full experience for a celebration that deserves real depth.

Best for Milestone birthdays, bachelorettes, women's circles, gatherings where the guest of honor deserves a real moment.
The Immersion
Starting at $850
2 hours

Base includes up to 20 guests · $50 per additional guest

The deepest container. A full ceremonial arc — cacao, intention setting, an extended sound journey with multiple instruments, breathwork or guided meditation, closing blessing, and space for the group to share and fully land. This one stays with people long after the night is over.

Best for Significant milestones, larger gatherings, retreat-style celebrations, groups who want a true transformational experience together.

Your space.
Pritam Tara handles the rest.

To create the container, you'll need:

  • A comfortable space large enough for your group to lie down or be seated — living room, backyard, studio, wherever feels right
  • Mats, cushions, pillows, and blankets for each guest (a full suggested list is sent with your booking confirmation)
  • Any personal touches you want to add — candles, flowers, altar items, photos of the guest of honor

Let's create
something unforgettable.
