Explore the profound healing power of sound


Nestled in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley, Sound Sanctuary RGV blends the art of music with the practice of holistic wellness. It is the spiritual alter ego of acclaimed percussionist and author Mike Margulis, a sonic explorer who has journeyed from the heavy beats of rock to the healing rhythms of the handpan.
Formerly the drummer, writer, and singer for acclaimed bands Slag and Axis/Orbit, Mike's path shifted as he began to explore the power of percussive tones to soothe, calm, and heal. This transformation is the foundation of Sound Sanctuary RGV, where he offers exciting live handpan performances, sound showers, guided meditations, and entertaining educational workshops.
Drawing on years of experience as a coach, business leader and motivator, Mike brings an understanding of group dynamics and individual motivation to every session. His MBA background further informs his approach to team-building and organizational wellness. Whether working with corporate teams or community groups, he creates experiences that resonate and inspire.
