MEET KAASEI (Nancy Watters)
"Kaasei's ability to create a sacred space that stirs deep levels of consciousness is remarkable! She transported us to the blissful realms of the spirit with her masterful use of crystal singing bowls. Sacred voice imparts wisdom on levels which bypass the mind and go straight to the heart!" - GB
Kaasei's enthusiasm for making music with others is infectious. She is a trained vocalist known for her angelic overtone chanting that blends seamlessly with crystal singing bowls. Her artistic soundscapes have been described as “otherworldly”. They consistently shift people into relaxed states of consciousness normally only accomplished through years of meditation. She is masterful at helping people use sound to connect with their deepest dreams and take flight with renewed enthusiasm.
Kaasei says, “I am passionate about sound and music! It is so beautifully, powerfully healing. The soothing vibrations of the luminous crystal bowls have helped me overcome many significant life challenges. Singing with these bowls has been like coming home. I love helping others achieve vibrant wellness this way. Over and over, I see how crystal singing bowls help them activate the health, love, compassion, gratitude and courage within."
In 2005, Kaasei launched Luminous Tones Music to promote "Music for Health and Harmony". For years, she traveled widely leading singing, chanting, drumming workshops.
In 2010, she was gifted with an Aqua Aura Gold Alchemy™ bowl and was immediately smitten by it's unusually pure tones and beautiful harmonics. Soon she bought 3 more bowls, and began to share their magic with others. She opened the Sound Sanctuary--Oak Bay to introduce the extraordinary sound of crystal singing bowls to a wider audience. Sound baths and sacred sound circles soon followed, using Kaasei's ever-growing bowl set (currently at 22!). People started asking, "Hey, where can I get some of those?" So she started importing them. Until retirement she delighted in matching people with their perfect "bowl mates".
From 2014 - 2022 she donated more than 100 free crystal bowl "concerts" to the community (Tributes). She honed her sound therapy skills by working with cancer patients, pain patients, yoga students, young children, meditation groups, disabled adults, and the general public. Her sound healing work builds on 30 years of teaching and human service work in schools, universities and mental health clinics. She is a Clinical Counsellor (MA) and Reiki Master who retired from private practice in 2022.
Kaasei created and taught a 3-day sound therapy training program attended by students from all over the world, including as far away as Hong Kong. She was known for being a warm, skilled group facilitator, who created a joyful, encouraging atmosphere that quickly put people at ease. Her training program was the only place in the world where students used over 50 Alchemy crystal bowls for hands-on learning.
Kaasei describes herself as a world citizen, with Scottish, English, American and Dutch roots. In addition, since 2007, she has been a member of the Tlingit Wooshkeetaan Eagle Clan of Southeast Alaska. Her musical performances have taken her to India, Samoa, Australia, Germany, France, Spain, Slovakia, Israel, Tonga, Canada and the United States.
In 1972 Kaasei began following the Bahá’í spiritual path, which includes daily meditation and prayer, actively promoting social justice, gender equality, religious and racial tolerance, economic equity, environmental sustainability and world peace. In this tradition, service to humanity is considered worship. A portion of Luminous Tones profits are donated to organizations that promote these principles.
For decades Kaasei has had a passionate interest in sacred world chant. She studied with experts from many spiritual traditions. She founded the Baha'i Chant Project in 2011 to help people overcome religious prejudice through gatherings of multi-faith devotional chant.
Kaasei's motto is, "Never give up!" In 2002, just as she was committing herself to a musical career, she learned she had a condition that would cause progressive hearing loss. She was determined not to quit, and she continues to bring her musical artistry to the world with an indomitable spirit. She says, "In a mysterious way, as my hearing becomes worse, my "spiritual hearing" and insight become stronger. I experience singing, sound, music, birds, wind and water with much greater ecstasy than ever before. I'll do whatever it takes to continue making music until the end of my life."
