WORKPLACE RESILIENCY • Nervous System regulationStress happens. Meet it differently.
Sol Sonic helps people deeply relax, understand what their bodies are doing under stress, and learn how to work with those responses, so they can think more clearly, respond with more choice, and come out of high gear when the moment has passed.
01 SOL SONIC / ORGANIZATIONS
From pressure
to capacity.
Your body is supposed to react when something important is happening.
You want the extra energy before a presentation.
You want to be alert when a problem lands on your desk.
The problem is when your body keeps responding like the thing is still happening long after it’s over.
That’s where capacity comes in:
not eliminating
the Stress response,
but building the ability
to meet the moment
with the energy and focus
it requires,
then shift out of that
heightened state
when the demand has passed.
02 / WHY THIS MATTERS
Sometimes YOUR BODY
DOESN'T KNOW
THE MEETING is over.
THE GOAL ISN’T TO BECOME SO ZEN THAT NOTHING FAZES YOU. Your body can learn the difference between “I need to respond right now” and “that moment has passed.”
03 / THE REAL WORKDAY
MORE CAPACITY
FOR WHAT COMES
next.
Notice it sooner >
Recognize when your body is starting to ramp up before the response starts running the show.
SHIFT MORE EASILY >
Build familiarity with moving out of a heightened state instead of carrying one moment into the next.
KNOW WHAT TO DO >
Learn simple ways to work with your breath and body in real time, not just understand what’s happening intellectually.
HAVE MORE CHOICE.
When your body isn’t still reacting to what just happened, you have more room to decide how you want to respond.
04 / EXPERIENCES FOR YOUR TEAM
CHOOSE YOUR
EXPERIENCE.
On-location experiences for meetings, retreats, employee appreciation, and conferences, plus yearlong workplace resiliency programming that gives teams practical ways to recognize and work with stress in everyday life.
THE SOUND GIVES THE MIND SOMEWHERE TO GO.
SOUND MEDITATION
60 MINUTES
An immersive sound experience where the music becomes the meditation. Layers of acoustic sound give your attention something to follow, making it easier to step out of constant thinking and into a more meditative state.
BREATHWORK
90 minutes
We start with breath mechanics, because how you breathe matters. Then we get out of our heads and into the experience: intentional breathwork set to immersive music, followed by meditation, gratitude, and time to notice what changed.
Find the rhythm.
Stay with the breath.
BREATH + Sound
120 MINUTES
BREATH CONNECTS US. SOUND TAKES US DEEPER.
We begin with active guided breathwork set to immersive music, then transition into a live sound bath with singing bowls, gong, and other acoustic instruments. The experience moves from actively working with the breath to simply lying back, listening, and letting the sound take over.

WORKPLACE RESILIENCY Program
ONE EXPERIENCE CAN BE TRANSFORMATIVE.
A YEAR OF LEARNING TO WORK WITH WHAT'S ALREADY HAPPENING.
The Workplace Resiliency Program combines nervous system education, practical breath training, real-world application, and immersive breathwork across four quarterly sessions. Participants develop awareness of their own stress patterns, understand what their bodies are doing, and build a set of practices they can use during the workday and beyond.
PRACTICE
BUILDS
CAPACITY.
IMAGINE WHAT BECOMES POSSIBLE WHEN PEOPLE LEARN TO NOTICE THEIR STATE AND WORK WITH IT EVERY DAY.
01 / RECOGNIZE
Notice stress patterns and begin understanding what’s happening in the body.
02 / WORK WITH
Learn practical ways to influence physiology based on what the moment actually requires.
03 / RECOVER
Practice moving out of high gear when the demand has passed instead of carrying it into what comes next.
04 / BUILD CAPACITY
Develop greater flexibility and choice through repeated practice across the year.
THE WORK CONTINUES BETWEEN SESSIONS.
Participants leave each session with practical breath practices they can use during the workday and between sessions, giving them opportunities to apply what they’ve learned before we meet again.
THE SESSION ENDS.
THE PRACTICE COMES WITH YOU.
Each session brings the learning into real workplace moments: what happened, what showed up in the body, what was needed, and where another response might become possible.
4 QUARTERLY 2-HOUR EXPERIENCES / ONE CORE COHORT / A YEAR OF PRACTICE
Designed for teams of up to 15 participants. Larger and virtual programs available by custom scope.
05 / WHY IT WORKS
THE SCIENCE IS IN THE EXPERIENCE.
STRESS IS PHYSIOLOGICAL.
Stress isn't only something happening in your thoughts. Your breathing changes. Muscles brace. Attention narrows. Your heart may beat faster. Your body is preparing you to respond, often before you've consciously decided anything is wrong.
The body is already in the conversation.
BREATH IS AN ENTRY POINT.
Breathing happens automatically, but it's also something we can intentionally change. That makes the breath a direct way to work with what's happening in the body, in real time.
THE BREATH GIVES US A WAY IN.
SOUND becomes THE MEDITATION.
Sound can organize attention without requiring someone to actively “clear their mind.” Rhythm, resonance, repetition, and changes in intensity create a sensory experience the mind can follow, supporting movement away from constant thinking and toward a more meditative state.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO QUIET YOUR MIND FIRST.

07 / MEET Mc CAREN AKA SOL
ARTIST. STORYTELLER. FACILITATOR.
Finding my breath
For a long time, I thought certain ways I moved through the world were simply who I was. I could be avoidant, shut down, overwhelmed, or unable to make myself do something I absolutely knew I needed to do, and I judged myself for it. Learning about the nervous system changed the way I understood myself. But learning to recognize the different states I was moving through, and discovering that I could use my breath to help move myself between them, changed my life.
I couldn’t think myself into feeling better. I had to breathe myself into feeling better.
My path to this work wasn’t particularly linear. I’m an artist and photographer by training, a longtime storyteller and communicator, and I spent years working in nonprofit leadership, marketing, communications, and organizational spaces before breathwork and nervous system work changed the way I understood people, including myself.
That shift eventually became Sol Sonic.
Today, I use breathwork, immersive sound, meditation, and nervous system education to help people experience that connection for themselves: notice what’s happening in the body, learn how to work with it, and discover they have more influence over how they feel and respond than they may realize.
Because your mind can have a very convincing story about how you’re doing.
Your body gets a vote.
Sol Sonic’s breathwork is trauma-informed. Participants remain in control of their experience and can modify, pause, or return to normal breathing at any time.
