  • “I lost my 25-year-old son to an accidental drug overdose. Among the therapeutic practices I have engaged in throughout my bereavement, the music of Chris Dingman through Transformations has assisted me in processing and integrating this profound loss. Chris’ rich musical compositions have transported me on inner journeys that are emotionally evocative and alchemical, allowing me to travel through layers of deep sorrow to an experience of healing that is truly transcendent.”

    — Alison

  • “These sessions truly transport me into another dimension of experience… after the first few minutes I feel as though I’m flying, over water, with the sun shining down and reflecting off of the  ripples below me… these sensations have lifted me out of some of the deepest moments of depression I’ve faced. They’ve given me respite and hope that life could return to something more than isolation, pain and despair. I’m so grateful to Chris and his offerings. The fact that they are without cost makes healing accessible to someone in my situation which is the greatest gift one could ask for.”

    — DY

  • "I am extremely grateful that I found these sessions just weeks after going through the death of a family member. The guides have created a safe and respectful space. I appreciated that all the elements of the sessions, the music, poetic writing prompts, and optional sharing circle, are non-directive. I felt that I could just show up and be exactly where I was that day. There were times during the sessions that I experienced cathartic sobbing and there were times that I felt deeply comforted, as if I were receiving a blessing through the music.“

    — KM

  • "My grief was met with soothing embraces of Chris’s music, Debra’s writing prompts, and Dina’s container for sharing. My tears spoke their truth."

    — Yelena

  • "So grateful for this session to come in a moment when I was newly suffering a personal loss. I found it so helpful to process and release some heaviness I was feeling in a comforting space outside of my everyday interactions. I had a very positive experience. Inclusive, thoughtful and understanding of what I was going through. Chris's sounds are beautiful, transcendent and comforting. Seeming to move along intuitively to what someone listening might be feeling or experiencing within.”

    — YJ

  • "Grief, stress, anxiety, fatigue - things I’ve been feeling for the last several months. I joined the Transformations for Grief because I needed something to calm my mind. By the end of the session, I felt at peace and was so grateful for that. It was truly medicine for the soul.”

    — Stacy

  • "The Transformations series offered me space. Space to breathe, to feel, and to just be in the moment with my grief. Chris’ music made it easier for me to bring thoughts and feelings to the surface so that I could sit with and reflect on them. I also valued the welcoming and supportive atmosphere in each session, which made me feel genuinely accepted."

    - Loni

  • "I appreciate what you and your team are doing at grief transformation. A space is created where I feel safe to feel to express, to write, to cry and to be raw with my emotions of the grief process. Every time I participate, I feel as if the entire moment was designed for me from the lighting of the candle, the reciting of a poem, the writing prompt, and the music. It’s a healing process of my mind, of my soul, and of my spirit. I come away with clarity and compassion towards myself and for others who have joined the zoom call. The grief transformation is a blessing in my life and I am thankful to be a part of this. I send blessings to the team at grief transformation for all that they do for all of us."

    - M

  • "I found transformations, or better yet, it found me at a lower point in my grief journey, when I needed it the most.  Came to me at 2 am while I was hungrily searching for any type of solace for my heartache over losing my mom and the consequential fall outs I've had with my surviving family members, namely my sisters.  I was pleading with my youngest sister to start therapy of her own for her grief over our mom, we fought over this and broke away from each other for a time.  That very night, I vowed to find help for myself and transformations came to me, I loved it immediately and registered. Seamless, my buoy..I love how participation isn't pressured or even necessary sometimes.. Chris' magickal vibraphone carries me away and tucks me in tight right where I need escape to, so vital in my journey! Even grants me access to my mom sometimes, I can actually feel her! I am eternally grateful for transformations! Truly has been a blessing."

    - Erica

  • "Thank you for these sessions! They are very helpful for me as I stumble down this grief path."

    - BK

  • "The first time I participated in Transformations for Grief, it took me right to the core of my grief. It was the perfect blend of music, writing, and meditation…."

    - M

  • "I feel like Transformations is a safe community."

    - CS

  • "Transformations for Grief has been a beautiful gift for me.  As a high-energy morning person, I found the early evening schedule to fit perfectly into the transition to my end of day.  The reflections were thoughtful and invitational and the music, oh, the music was enthralling.  The vibrational waves invited me to take a psychic float every time."

    - Kay

  • “Transformations for Grief feels like motion through an unseen landscape. Chris’ playing carries grief forward rather than holding it in place, guiding me through shifting emotional terrain. The music moves like a current (sometimes heavy, sometimes weightless) and it feels as though he’s channeling something from a liminal place. I’m so grateful to have found Chris and this project, at the most perfect time in my journey!”

    - HK

  • “I had been carrying a year of tremendous grief - I work with asylum seekers - and I have heard so many stories of suffering, and this year like no other I remember sitting in that (Transformations) session and just bawling my eyes out… it was such a deeply cathartic, healing time, during one of the hardest periods of my life. It was so transformative, cathartic, healing, emotive, and just deeply personal time. It allowed me to express so much of the anger, grief, frustration that I had been holding onto. I was deeply moved. It met me at the perfect time, when I needed space to just feel. I didn’t even realize the depth of emotion that I had, and Transformations allowed me to express it. I’m so grateful for it.”
