Drowning in a series of sudden losses, Allie abruptly left her blossoming opera career to, instead, explore sound meditation. Choosing a singing bowl over an orchestra, she reveled in the pure, simple harmonics that temporarily quieted the raging characters in her mind. Babaji, her teacher, called this Sunyata, emptiness, and she dove into her studies, longing to be free from the emotional monsoon that threatened to engulf her.

Fast forward six years, Babaji invites Allie to join him and several others in Nepal for the pilgrimage of a lifetime. Envisioning a meditative journey surrounded by the serene, majestic mountains, Allie travels to Nepal hoping to find peace, but the challenges of rising egos, monsoon rains, shamanic rituals, floods, and magic combine to threaten her very existence. Struggling with blurred lines of reality, magic, and the tormenting shadows buried deep within her, Allie’s healing journey grows from blinding grief to peace, bullying to strength, and opera to sunyata. Based on a true story.
