Retreats & Collaboration

Where Healing Sound, Written Word and Spiritual Awareness, Come Together

As a lifelong musician, performer, and teacher, I’ve come to experience music and creativity as powerful pathways to healing, reflection, and self-discovery. My work weaves together healing sound, guided writing, and the practice of deep listening to support personal and collective well-being.

Through sound baths, writing programs, and spiritual direction, I create welcoming spaces where individuals and communities can slow down, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and find renewed clarity and balance. All offerings are thoughtfully customized to support retreats, workshops, wellness centers, and organizations seeking meaningful, creative, and heart-centered experiences.

Handpan Discovery Sessions by Kelly Richey

Sound Baths

A live, immersive sound journey featuring the enchanting tones of the handpan along with other carefully selected healing instruments. Each session is uniquely crafted to meet the energy and intention of your group — whether it’s relaxation, renewal, or spiritual connection. Participants are gently guided into a state of deep calm as waves of soothing sound wash through the body, quieting the mind and restoring balance.

Sound baths are ideal for yoga and wellness retreats, meditation circles, and corporate mindfulness events seeking to foster peace and presence. The experience supports emotional release, nervous system regulation, and a profound sense of inner harmony — leaving participants grounded, inspired, and rejuvenated.

Writing Programs by Kelly Richey

Guided Writing Programs

Creative reflection meets personal transformation. My guided writing sessions invite participants to journey inward through mindful journaling, storytelling, and shared reflection. Each experience offers a safe, inspiring space to explore inner truth, release what no longer serves, and reconnect with personal purpose.

Designed to complement retreats, creative residencies, and women’s circles, these sessions nurture self-expression, clarity, and connection, leaving participants grounded, renewed, and creatively inspired.

Kelly has been awesome! Starting from ground zero (and much later in life), Kelly has been very patient with me as well as encouraging. I’ve learned a lot so far and looking forward to this journey! I highly recommend her!

So glad that I found Kelly! She has really helped me advance in learning how to play guitar. I had sort of plateaued with my previous instruction and Kelly was able to figure out the best plan of attack to advance my way forward in learning all aspects of playing the guitar, all the while keeping it simple and easy to learn. I Highly recommend Kelly if you really want to learn to play!

I've been taking Handpan lessons for over a year now with Kelly and I couldn't ask for a better local teacher! She's knowledgeable and helpful. She can not only provide lessons, but also provide an understanding of the handpan, the different construction of them, and how to pick one out.

I've had the good fortune of learning from the greats. My taekwondo instructor was a two time Olympic coach. The editor I work with edited Stephen King, Lawrence Block, and Joyce Carol Oates. Now, I'm learning guitar from Kelly Richey, who makes the process fun and interesting. From her experience, Kelly has the unique ability to see into a person and extract the artist. By working with her, you can't go wrong. Vince

Kelly took me on as a new guitar student - total beginner! I appreciate her method of using older blues songs to learn the basics. She has also helped me learn some of my old favorites as my goal is to learn something new in retirement and to be able to jam with friends and family (including my grandsons!)

Kelly is an incredible instructor and true mentor. Kelly was able to pinpoint the issues I was facing in my playing and created a practice routine that greatly improved my play. Kelly also navigated me through the world of blues, teaching the basics and breaking down advanced techniques that I have able to incorporate into my play. Try out a lesson with her, there's no pressure and her schedule is very flexible.
