Today we’d like to introduce you to Luis Angel Zepeda.
Hi Luis, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was born in West Palm Beach, FL. to immigrant parents from Mexico & Nicaragua.
For as early as I can remember I have been an artist and have always been drawing and creating.
As a teenager I went to an arts high school where I honed my craft and received some of the highest awards and honors a teen artist could receive. In 2014 I was awarded a Young Arts Finalist and received a Gold Medal from the Scholastic Arts & Writing Awards for my portfolio. Receiving both of these prestigious awards was rare and I was essentially the “best” teen artist in the United States.
Winning these awards gave me the confidence to continue pursuing art and went to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA as a Fine Arts Major.
Moving across the country on my own gave me the opportunity to rediscover myself. I began a journey of self-exploration in search of an Authentic Me. Unlearning 18 years of societal, familiar, and religious conditioning suppressing my divinity and unique magic.
The journey of authenticity inspired me to refrain from any form of alteration to my natural body including not cutting or trimming any hair. I also decided I had to make my own clothes. Since 2015 I have only worn what I make and have yet to cut my hair (I now shave my face and occasionally trim my hair).
In college I attended my first yoga class that changed my life. Yoga became a new passion and lifestyle.
A Yogic lifestyle was so inspiring to me that I went to a Yoga festival out in Joshua Tree that changed my life. I attended the festival alone and arrived with an open mind and an open heart and experienced so much joy & expansion. I attended my first ever Sound Bath there in a room packed with over 100 people and multiple sound healers. At this festival I purchased my first Tibetan singing bowl.
My art practice evolved in college and I began to do more performance art, video art, & fashion design. I desired to create art that was interactive and could transform lives. The journey of self-discovery for an authentic me became my art practice.
Through my art I started creating experiences like performative dinners, guided yoga, and revolutionary dance parties on campus.
I found a passion for creating experiences for others that were centered around Joy and Connection.
After graduating college, I began to work in LA as an arts educator for elementary school kids and adults with disabilities. In my classes I incorporated meditation and sustainability for my students. Simultaneously I began to grow my fashion brand, LAZ.
In 2020 the world shifted. Fear and restriction was the vibration around me in LA. With so much time at home I invested in a Quartz Singing Bowl set to focus on elevating my frequency and that of the planet.
I went on a life changing journey to Sedona, AZ where I had a profound experience with psilocybin that illuminated the next chapter in my life. An astrologer in Sedona shared with me that I needed to focus on the power of sound and also encouraged me to leave LA as soon as possible.
As soon as I returned home from Sedona, I was looking for places to move to – my time in Sedona was so powerful I wanted to move there. The universe had other plans and I ended up returning to my roots in South Florida in October of 2020.
In Florida I connected to community by going to local yoga studios. I began offering Sound Baths at studios and for friends. I met my life partner on the Lions gate Portal and things kept aligning to my wildest dreams.
By living my authentic truth and always following the path of Joy I ended up exactly where I needed to be.
Offering Sound Baths became my full-time profession.
Now, I have facilitated hundreds of Sound Baths for private events, private clients, luxury spas, people in recovery, wellness festivals, & at many yoga studios.
Sharing the peace and bliss of Sound Healing is profound but I wanted to share MORE of the practices, lifestyles and techniques that have influenced my life so I created Adventure Rituals – offering retreats and day experiences.
After 8+ years of practicing yoga I finally got my 200HR Yoga Teacher Training certification.
Currently, I offer Sound Healing, Yoga, Retreats, Experiences, & Mentorship.
My dream is to have multiple eco villages around the world that are luxurious, sacred, and sustainable oases for people to connect, heal, learn and recalibrate back into the rhythm of Earth | Spirit |Self.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Believing in yourself despite what others around you have to say is key.
For many years I was told that I needed to look and act a certain way to be successful. Believing in your own authentic magic is powerful and you are destined to be successful if you live your truth.
My dream is for a world of oneness and beauty. Currently, our culture is centered on division and separation and has many systems in place to make a joyous and happy life difficult to obtain. Having to navigate this system as an individual trying to dismantle things from the inside out is no small task.
Having support and resources available to me have been key and I am grateful for all of my friends, mentors, and community that have supported me to get to where I am now.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a Frequency Alchemist. Transforming everyday life into Divinity via Sound Healing, Yoga, Retreats, Experiences, & Mentorship.
Sound Healing is a powerful experience to recalibrate back into your body’s nature state of inner-peace all while simply surrendering and just being. The sounds, frequencies and vibrations transmitted during the Sound Baths help relax your mind & body. Sound Healing can be used to help those with anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other physical and mental ailments. It can also help to reduce pain and inflammation, improve circulation and digestion, and increase energy levels. Overall, Sound Healing is an amazing opportunity to elevate your self-care practice.
Everything I do comes from a place of authentic love. I create experiences for others to connect to a sense of oneness while enjoying the beauty of life. The Retreats and experiences I host are potent containers for expansion and transformation. I share in depth the practices, techniques and tools that have influenced my life for individuals to grow and live their best life.
My authenticity sets me apart from others. The energy of living in authentic joy permeates through everything I offer and create. People are transformed by my energy and I am honored to be of service.
We’re always looking for the lessons that can be learned in any situation, including tragic ones like the Covid-19 crisis. Are there any lessons you’ve learned that you can share?
I have learned the importance of maintaining a Sacred Space. Feeling safe in your living environment to be authentic and free. And the importance of being in love with yourself in moments of solitude.
I remembered the power of Earth as medicine.
